One of the most underrated Sony exclusives and one of my personal favorite games ever.

The original GR was a great title, ment to showcase the power of the PS Vita by combining a great combat and exploration similar to the PS4 SPiderman games, with unique ways to manipulate gravity around you, slightly reminiscent to titles like Super Mario Galaxy.

The sequel improves on the original in any possible way: the gameplay and gravity manipulation in much more fluid, the camera is less stiff, and the exploration now include much varied landscapes, that makes you want to explore this really creative world and even discover the ramifications of the society that lives in.

Kat, the protagonist, is one of the most charming super-hero character you can see in a videogame, and her journey towards this new and old world is an amazing experience to play.

Some sections of the game can be a bit slower than others, and the overall narrative can be... confusing, at times. But these flaws rarely impact the quality of the title.
The amount of passion the developers put into this game is so evident it's almost breathable. It truly feels like a giant passion project for the team of Japan Studio, that is evident in so much details of this title (in the game there is even a memorial for Norihiko Takami, one of the lead designer for the series that sadly passed away). Level of dedications like these are rarely found in triple A titles nowadays.

Gravity RUsh 2 is an aboslute masterpiece. Even if you haven't played the first title, I highly recommend it.
