Finished this a while ago on PC, also played the PS5 version (wasn't expecting it to come to PC so that was a welcome surprise, would like to see more R&C titles make their way on PC for sure). As far as new Ratchet titles go it's very solid, I like the movement and gunplay a lot, a lot of weapons are pretty unique and feel satisfying to use. In terms of story it's not that bad, got the classic Nefarious returning and the alternate universe thing with Rivet definitely adds a nice touch. It's not a very long game and I got most of the collectibles on just my first playthrough (including all golden bolts), and later parts of the game could have been more polished, but I definitely enjoyed it for the most part.

Rifts were kinda overhyped, there's a few planets where you do switch places with the alternate dimension and it's pretty cool there for variation, but mostly I feel it's just a gimmick to show off more visuals. And while it was marketed to be only possible with PS5's SSD speeds, the game ran fine on a standard Nvme2 SSD (PCI.E gen 3) on my PC. Load times were only a few seconds longer even with ultra textures running at 4K.

The game is really well optimized though and one of the prettiest games I've played in terms of visuals. On my gaming laptop with a 3080 RTX I could run it at high settings with Quality DLSS at 4K with roughly 60-70 fps all the time, going lower to 1080p I could turn on highest quality raytracing no problem as well and still maintain 60 fps.

Some things that annoyed me were the high amount of invisible walls in all the levels barring exploration. I like to explore a lot for hidden areas and a lot of the times it looked like you could clearly jump somewhere only for Ratchet (or Rivet) to fall down to an invisible wall. Also the humour still doesn't reach the same levels as the old PS2 games for me; a lot of it feels pretty toned down for a younger audience and I would've liked to see Nefarious go even more ham on his speeches. Ratchet's personality is still the same as from the Ratchet & Clank remake, being a stereotypical hero, and same goes for Clank, and I lost count how many times Ratchet says he misses his bestest buddy Clank. At least Rivet is different and I quite liked the parts where you got to play as her.

Also later parts of the game feel like they have significantly less new planets and more straightforward level design; I would've liked it to be a bit longer but at least you get New Game + with new weapons as well.

TL;DR:
Excellent port, if you like Ratchet & Clank I think this is the most solid new entry but no chance of beating the PS2 classics for me. Rivet's fun.
