Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is the latest PlayStation game ported to PC. While it got attention thanks to the use of DirectStorage 1.2, its launch numbers are quite unimpressive compared to SIE’s other first-party titles on Steam.

Sony keeps making the same mistakes:

Full price for an old game
Little to no marketing
Crap ports making people wary
Releasing a sequel when the original is not on PC

I think the first one is the biggest problem, I'm not paying full price for a 3 year old game that is heavily discounted on the PS5.

Fourth one is the biggest offender to me personally. I'm not gonna play one random game out of a series of like 10 games if I can't play the others.

Rift Apart is a very good game that is enjoyable without playing the rest of the series. The story is pretty self contained, even though it's referential.

I've owned every Playstation. I think Rift Apart was the only Ratchet & Clank I actually properly played all the way through and completed.
