KAT’S GRAVITY POWERS MAKE FOR A MUCH DIFFERENT KIND OF ACTION GAME
Kat’s disorienting array of abilities allow her to change the direction of gravity, causing her to fall in any direction. This means that you pretty much fly through the game world. Getting from place to place is as easy as looking in that direction and taking flight. As you work your way through the game you gain more abilities, making it even easier to traverse the urban jungle. Not only can you fly through the architecture but run along walls, stand on the ceiling, and see the world from a completely different angle.
Everything from exploring the city to engaging in combat is completely flipped on its head, sometimes literally. Without these abilities, Gravity Rush would likely be just another action game. Falling upside-down can sometimes be disorienting, but exploration is much more exhilarating when you can explore every nook and cranny of the massive worlds.
