THE SETTINGS ARE A UNIQUE BLEND OF THE FAMILIAR AND FANTASTICAL…
The majority of both Gravity Rush games are set in cities. These towns deliver a unique kind of the steampunk aesthetic. Each town is situated on an island that floats in the sky above a sea of clouds. The inhabitants of this world go about their days much in the same way we do, but everything feels like it was ripped from a bizarre version of the early 20th century. Police may ride around on floating barges, but everything else seems strangely dated.
The meshing of these styles makes for a world unlike any other. Running through the streets feels familiar until you come to the edge of the city and stare into the abyss below. Each town is filled with its own history and lore, further making the world feel alive and thriving. Side missions and talking to citizens only deepens this feeling of immersion, making for a more complete experience, especially when you are collecting gems around the city and just learning to control your gravity warping powers.
