Wow, the bugs in Rift Apart are something else...
My first play-through was almost flawless. Zero crashes (I still have no crashes whatsoever btw), occasional bug here and there, like falling through the ground, or assets not loading during some on-rail sequences, but nothing game-breaking. Until I started my second play-through.

For example the first boss battle with Dr Nefarious has tendency to glitch out, and Nefarious doesn't approach me, just lingers in the background. I had to repeat this battle at least 10 times, I'm not joking. 10 TIMES before script kicked in and I was able to finish the fight.

Some scripted events that are supposed to move some obstacle away wouldn't trigger, blocking me from progress. During battle with The Fixer some grind rails move too fast up, making me constantly miss the jump. I had to repeat that sequence at least 5 times over before I was able to jump through. And no, it wasn't me having bad timing, the difference in height was like twice the distance.

I switched off Ray Tracing entirely because one of the latest patches "optimised" Ray Tracing too much, and now I'm getting this film-grain/glitter effect due to too little rays generating reflections.

Still great game, I'm currently watching youtube documentaries on the entire series. I wish Insomniac to get all the Spider-Mans out of the way, so they can come back to RnC games. :D
