There’s a lot to praise in Rift Apart — gorgeous visuals, tight gameplay, emotionally resonant storytelling — but let’s address the dimension-sized elephant in the room: Rivet.

Insomniac introduces one cool, tough, battle-scarred female Lombax with a robot arm and suddenly half the fanbase forgets what air tastes like. You’d think she was designed by a committee of furries and Reddit mods in a lab fueled by Monster Energy and unchecked horniness.

The moment she showed up on screen, thousands of fans collectively entered a goon trance so powerful it echoed across the multiverse. Some of these people didn’t see the credits roll — they just looped Rivet’s idle animations like it was spiritual content. Somewhere out there is a guy who paused the game during a cutscene, lit candles, and whispered, “She’s just like me fr” before never being seen again.

Fan art exploded overnight. We’re not talking classy portrait sketches — no, we're talking “I spent 17 hours rendering her fur in Blender and I haven’t spoken to my family since launch” levels of dedication. The goon caves grew stronger. The light of sanity dimmed.

Meanwhile, Insomniac is just trying to tell a heartfelt story about identity and hope in a collapsing universe, and here’s Kyle69 posting “Rivet can blow up my dimension next 😩” in the steam forums like it’s a sacred ritual.

These people are not playing Ratchet & Clank. They are playing a very different kind of single-player game.

Final Verdict:
Incredible gameplay, lovable characters, beautiful worlds.
But if you hear someone say they’re “replaying Rift Apart for the plot,” just know their controller’s been untouched for hours and their GPU fan sounds exhausted.

10/10, but y’all need help. Or at least a cold shower.

More non Star Wars & Marvel trash LEGO games please 👍

Terrorist Hunt is no more WTF? I never wanted to play this game PvP...
