#GRAVITY RUSH FULL#

It is without a doubt the most fun you will have in Gravity Rush, moving around and exploring the world with Kat feels great. There are also stealth segments which I found unnecessary as they ground you and effectively kill the best thing about the game – movement and freedom. It can feel great when you get a good rhythm of defeating them one after another, but miss one too many times and the pace of the combat slows down to a crawl and they drag out more than they should. That being said, despite the games best effort to spice up the combat, it still feels repetitive as you will mostly smash into the enemy weak points. Mini-stories contained in these side missions are often predictable, but also funny and more interesting than the story missions as they make more creative use of different Kat's abilities and play into her clueless personality. And solve their problems you will as side missions consist of helping to stop gangs, transport people, find missing children, organize parties for rich people, sell ice cream, pop balloons and other. Their quality of life must have improved when the Kat popped into the place to solve their problems. The world seems tailored for people with control over gravity and it doesn't really make sense for regular citizens.

After you get your powers the world opens up and you can tackle many many story and side activities which are fun for the most part but exist only as an excuse for Kat to use her powers.

It's surprising on the developers part that they decided to start the game with Kat without her powers as it is the first thing you want to play with when starting the game. Good thing is, when that happens it rarely feels frustrating as it can lead to an even more, satisfying display of your traversal abilities. Falling instead of flying is what makes a hop to a nearby store fun and challenging at the same time as you will need to get used to the system and even when you do, you will still sometimes go all over the place. It is difficult to translate into words but it works very well and it feels satisfying to control. So when she is flying, she's not actually flying but falling. The protagonist can control her own gravity and that of the objects around her. GAMEPLAYĪs is its namesake, the game revolves around the mechanic of gravity control. The story serves its purpose and the ending is pretty satisfying but it is still forgettable and it only exaggerates the feeling that the game would benefit greatly had the story been presented with real voice overs and animated cutscenes. Overall, the story is split into three chapters, first one dealing with finding your way in a strange new world and tackling society inequality, the second one brings most of the supporting characters from the first game and reunites them, and third one tries to wrap up most of the dangling plot threads and delves into Kat's past and origin. Even if you did play the first game, you will still have a hard time following the story as it is mostly presented through comic book text panels followed by quiet gasps, grunts and Sims like sounds. The story is pretty confusing to follow unless you played the first game, as many characters return and many past events are referenced. The protagonist, Kat is sucked into a gravity storm that transports her into another world of floating islands where the majority of the game takes place, although you spend a fair amount of time in Hekseville, the city from the first Gravity Rush.

The story of the game picks up right after the first one. Gravity Rush 2is available for purchase on the Playstation Store for $59,99. It feels indie in its concept, but AAA in its quality.

The game is full of surprises, quirky characters, and funny missions. Now with Gravity Rush 2 being developed for the Playstation 4 from the get go it really shows as it keeps the feel and charm of the first game while expanding and improving it in every way. It was later remastered for the PlayStation 4 but although it was given a visual facelift and brought up to constant 60fps it was still limited in scope by its Vita roots. The original Gravity Rush was a fun little game, but it was held back by the platform it was initially released on, the Playstation Vita.
