One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.
However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.
Shaz from Pixel Swish: “Both Insomniac Games and Ubisoft have given us games with dual protagonists. However, where Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart’s duo feel exactly the same, Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Yasuke and Naoe feel unique.”
They are exactly the same because it's another version of Ratchet within the multiverse. It's not Ratchet himself or a female version of him but it's someone else who's taken his place / role within that Universe.
Agreed! A better comparison take would have been between AC Syndicate and AC Shadows.
with ratchet, they are the same, they play the exact same.
im not even sure why this needs to be said, we all know.
They weren't trying to make them play differently, literally 2 versions of the same person. Wo ur saying they failed at something they never set out to do 🤨
What in the f who even thought of that concept and connect these two games that released years apart and have nothing to do with each other.
You could of said fuel protagonist vs other times where AC did duel protagonist or a game like GTA v that allows for on the fly switching
Like how desperate are they for clicks
Rivet's character was more useless and forced than Abby from TLOU2.
MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol? Also remeber how a beloved vilain Dr Neferious was reduced to a braindead wimp and a parody of himself?
“MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol?”
It’s still going on. Especially @ Marvel.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 Remix is filled with beloved games that many people have nostalgic memories of. What exactly gives 100% completing a game value, though? If you come away from it not feeling accomplished, was it just wasted time?
While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
