Gravity Rush 2
The Gravity Rush series is a relatively niche franchise overall but if these gravity altering mechanics are your cup of tea, you’ll be pretty pleased with the game’s second title. Gravity Rush 2 successfully brings back the magic of the first game while improving its gameplay—except for an incredibly pesky camera. The main story is entertaining enough but not necessarily as captivating as many gamers would have hoped. To be fair, the character development explored throughout Gravity Rush 2 is intriguing and certainly makes you build a connection with Kat’s universe that may not have been achieved in the first game. Outside of this, the story has a slow start and the narrative overall presents a few missteps. What the game lacks in its main story, however, it makes up for with some incredibly well-constructed side missions, exciting combat, a compelling art style and great music.
Where the first Gravity Rush game felt like a spectacle mostly because of Kat’s unique abilities, the second game uses those abilities as a catalyst to create a truly compelling game. It’s the first time that Kat seems to stand out as a great protagonist and an interesting modern day hero.
