Finished the game a couple of days ago but kept coming back for 1 specific trophy which was very stooooooopid.

But anyway, I had really high hopes for this game and it didn't go as I hoped, cancerous controls, repetitive missions with little to no creativity or efforts and a SUPER BORING power-up system.

This whole thing was a mess, but I did enjoy little things here and there and absolutely loved the soundtracks.

i am so disappointed. the first gravity rush game was a flawed but thoroughly enjoyable work centered around the extremely fun base mechanic of shifting gravity, it had an interesting world with its own rules and a distinct atmosphere, and the combat felt nice. flaws included the story, characters and the repetitiveness of the game. but, hey, it was tolerable for a game that would take you about 10 hours. it was the exact type of game that was gagging for a sequel. gravity rush 2 is twice as long, and in favour of ironing out these flaws to create a truly remarkable experience it adds an entire warehouse of its own extremely pungent problems.

mind-numbing, basic missions, clunky as fuck mechanics and combat, unspeakable bosses, an extreme lack of focus storywise, my god. its a game that gets sooo tiring and when the story should finish it just keeps going and going and going and ughhhhh. AND THEN YOU GET TO WHERE THE GAME SHOULD FINALLYYYY END AND IT STILL KEEPS ON FUCKING CHOOGLIN HERE COMES MARY LOOKING FOR HARRY

the first half of the story is actually quite interesting, with some interesting (if insanely predictable) twists and turns and a very welcome commentary on the class divide (all rich people have expensive, ill-considered parties and are basically fucking stupid). then, about halfway through the game, something happens to take you out of this new world and back into... more familiar territory.

honest to god, you take out the entirety of the second half of this game, nothing changes. every single enemy is such a fucking nightmare to beat like they are just so specifically designed to irk you which would be fine if you werent being irked for 20 or so hours. overall, i am just so so disappointed that not only does this game do next to nothing to improve on its predecessor (aside from looking prettier) but the devs added in several different features to just make an entire new monster.

how this is the higher rated of the 2 on this site i will never understand. all im left wondering is if gravity rush 1 was actually ever good...

Admittedly, Gravity Rush 2 can be a bit messy. The story tends to bounce in a lot of different directions, and the style switching mechanics can be a bit hard to keep track of. But I still love this game because of the improvements it makes to the Gravity Rush gameplay. One of the best parts is Jirga Para Lao, one of the best open worlds in any game. Not only is it insanely large, filled with things to find and sights to see, but if you fall down you can find an entirely new underbelly beneath it. It is huge, and masterful. This is not to mention the new characters that can be met, and the new stages and scenarios.

Fixes literally every issue I had with the first game and more. Standing as one of the most unique games I've ever played along with the first with even better graphical fidelity, making the artstyle and designs pop out even more and look better. I genuinely believe that this is one of the best looking PS4 games that you can ever play.
Music is again fantastic and even remixes some tracks from the first sounding even better, elevating the experience of getting to older areas from the first game tenfolds, and making you feel absolutely incredible during bossfights, don't think there was a single track from this games OST that I disliked.
Combat again isn't the best, but once you completely turn off the motion sensitivity for the controller the game plays much much better. It's still not the best part of the game, but there's more variety to it and isn't very difficult. But the gameplay in general is still fun. Much like the first game, the most fun thing to do is just flying around exploring the cities and meeting all the people. Playing through every sidequest just made the experience better, seeing their little story arcs, and in some cases they even intertwine in other sidequests. It's a very very lovely game.
And the story of this game made me fuckin' cry like a bitch dude. Easily one of the best games I've played. Just wish they didn't shut down the servers barely a year after it came out, making several of the costumes unobtainable. Other than that, it's basically perfect.

Quién es Kat?
para el ciego, es la luz.
para el hambriento, es el pan.
para el enfermo, es la cura.
para el solitario, es el compañero.
para el triste, es la alegría.
para el prisionero, es la libertad.
para el pobre, es el tesoro.
para el deudor, es el perdón.
para el mundo, es esencial.
Si Kat opina, le doy la razón.
Si Kat habla, la escucho.
Si Kat falla, la apoyo.
Si el mundo odia a Kat, soy yo contra el mundo.
Si Kat tiene un esposo, soy yo.
Si Kat no tiene un pretendiente, es que yo ya he muerto.
Respeta a Kat, no la compares con nadie

Absolutely gutted at how much I could not get into this game because gravity shifting is so much fun and the potential within the concept is so huge. The soundtrack is grand and beautiful and the styles and world are dope, but this game's insistence on combat and stealth drove me insane while fighting with the finicky camera and shit targeting. Technically "beat" the game after seeing the credits roll, but I doubt I'll continue with the Eto chapter as chapters 20-21 drained me and I didn't click with the story anyways. Gravity Rush 3 could fixed many of my issues with the second game, but that seems unlikely with Japan Studio's disbandment and Sony seeming more interested in funding sloppy, short-lived live service shooters and generic action games over a series like Gravity Rush.
