Alright, so Gravity Rush isn't actually my final platinum on the PS4. When I saw that I was only two Platinum Trophies away from 150, I decided I wanted my first PS5 platinum to hit that 150 mark as well. Seeing as I didn't just want to play a cheap cash-grab like a Ratalaika game, I decided to play this rhythm based spin-off of one of my top 5 games of all time. And would you believe it, this game is pretty good. There's really not much more to it than that (though therein lies the problem). It is challenging at times, the music is fantastic, and there are customization options galore, which can help spice up having to replay the same songs over and over to grind money for the Platinum Trophy. However, with many tracks only being remixes of songs already included and a story that doesn't fully capture the magical interactions of the original, I can't say that this really succeeds at everything it was trying to accomplish. However, if you're a fan of the Persona 4 characters and rhythm games in general, I'd recommend it.
