Gravity Rush 2 Review - Super Deformed Gamescast

Originally a PS Vita exclusive, Gravity Rush was a good first effort with numerous flaws which somewhat dampened the overall experience. Still, Sony realized the fledgling franchise had a lot of potential, and ported it to PS4 in one of the generation’s most impressive remasters, considering it’s beginning as a handheld title. Now Gravity Rush 2 is upon us, built from the ground up on PS4 and with the advantage of quite a bit more processing power. Unfortunately, despite the increase in visual fidelity and the unique gravity-based traversal, Gravity Rush 2 fails to correct the myriad issues which plagued the first release while introducing a whole new set of problems.

This game gets a solid 9 from me. Just beated last night a 2nd time clocking 60hrs with 100% completion (just in time before Nioh).

FYI, there's a lock on but only when you use gravity kicks. Make sure to face your enemies when attacking. The game is not gonna to everything for you.

2nd, (MILD SPOILERS) Kali's transformation is due to her not being a perfect angel or experiment like Ceci

3rd, Again the game is not gonna hold your hand. If you keep shifting gravity like crazy, obviously the camera is gonna go crazy. Press R3 to align it or have the camera facing where you are gonna shitd gravity before pressing R1. Easy!

I only agree with you with the enemy variety.

Sounds like the reviewer sucked at using the mechanics. Gravity Rush takes a little while to get comfortable with but this score is ridiculous. Learn the game before giving premature views.

rivaldoo7773389d ago

Let's accept this. There are stupid reviewers out there who are lazy to write with thorough walk through. Like how U4 got 4/10 for too much details lol!!!

naruga3391d ago

the game is a solid 9 (and if you consider the quality and genre variety in todays gaming field is a 9.5)....also about the erratic camera just turn off the motion controls of your controler and play with manual camera control only (i was just feeling the same at start and corrected it afterward ...though i agree the 0oed motion controls should ve been the default option)

Aloy-Boyfriend3391d ago

The quality of the open world and the sidequest were my biggest surprises.

I was afraid this game would feel like an upscaled Vita game, but the game exceeded my expectations by a lot: no busy work, no repetitive quest (each one with its story and charm), online challenges and activities, fair amount of collectibles, and total freedom to go wherever you want (no locked areas until next chapter shenanigans).

I'm totally invested in this series and I can't wait for Raven's DLC

Darkfist_Flames3390d ago

It a 9 from me too, i still find it funny how people cant properly use the gravity gameplay(its not that hard to master), and you see them spamming the same attack without trying anything else(worse when they play it on easy), this is the kind of gamers you see them complain about horizon zero dawn, then you tell them about GR2 and they ether dont replay or they say they dont care about the game xD.

Underrated PlayStation JRPG Gem Goes 50% Off In New Sale

Gravity Rush 2, a highly rated PlayStation exclusive, is currently available to purchase at $9.99 on the official PS Store.

Gravity Rush would be an amazing series to be reborn on PSVR2. (sure to make the motion sick squeamish! haha) Anyone who has never played them should pick these games up though, they were really fun, unique/wild gameplay w a lot of style. My only complaint is the Part 2 has a really slow start, but it picks up.

shinoff2183815d ago

I remember when part 2 came out. Part 1 physical copy worth went through the roof.

OtterX815d ago

Nice. I still have have my Gravity Rush physical copy for Vita, but I only owned Remastered + 2 digitally. Wish I had gone physical though.

jznrpg815d ago

I own all of the games physically for Vita and PS4.

Inverno815d ago

Gravity Rush in VR would most likely kill someone lolz. GR2 and the first Mirrors Edge are the only games I've played where I've gotten horrible motion sickness but just couldn't stop playing em. Really hope that motion capture clip really is a movie cause the series deserves more attention.

OtterX815d ago

Ha, yea it would be a bit like Sairento VR (constant 1st person flipping combat), mixed with Detached VR (360 space thrusters) with all comfort settings off, if you've ever played either of those! XD

Eidolon814d ago

GR1/2 would need quite the overhaul to work in VR. If they do make one from the ground up it definitely would work and couldn't be as motionly crazy as some games I've played on the Quest 2, like that Grapple game.

jznrpg815d ago

Loved the first one Vita and second on PS4. Most VR games I’m fine but the nature of Gravity Rush I am not sure I could handle it or not as it may make me feel sick to my stomach. I’d give it a try at least

GoodGuy09815d ago

Gravity rush 1 I really enjoyed but for some odd reason I couldn't as much with the sequel. It was a good game but the controls were very clunky and a game like that just really needs a higher framerate with how precise you need to be. Also everyone is for some reason just absolutely rude towards Kat which got me too annoyed lol.

The visuals and art style were amazing though. If they were to ever make a sequel, you fix these problems, then GR would be great games.

blackblades815d ago (Edited 815d ago )

I enjoyed and play the 1st one on vita, i enjoyed there. Then I played the remaster with dlc when it came out. Gravity rush 2 I bought long time ago on ps4 but never got into it. I didnt even make it to 1st quarter of it. Its just what it is, I'll try to get back on to it sooner or later.

Rebel_Scum815d ago

More an adventure game than a JRPG tbh

jznrpg815d ago

Second game felt more rpgish but I agree they are more adventure than rpg

Eidolon814d ago

Adventure games are more narrative. Life is Strange, etc... This is Action-Adventure, can even say slightly plaformer, some RPG elements, but of course they will call it JRPG(buzz word) to sell.

DefaultComment815d ago

Gravity rush should be on PC by now. At least that will get tose numbers to raise a little.

DarXyde814d ago

The stupidity of exputer calling Gravity Rush 2 a JRPG aside...If y'all haven't bought the game yet, please do. It's such a great, charming game.

I have been absolutely gutted at the idea that there won't be a Gravity Rush 3, and I genuinely hope people give it a fair shake.

Even After 7 Years, Gravity Rush 2 Is A Beautiful Game That Deserves PC Exposure

It's been 7 years since the mystifying Gravity Rush 2; if Sony plans to put obscure exclusives on PC, it's the very definition of underrated.

Skuletor841d ago

A Gravity Rush 2 port would be cool but I'm not sure how many people will be interested in buying a sequel to a game they haven't played before, though it worked for The Uncharted Legacy Collection so who knows? A Bloodborne port should definitely happen first though, the fact the game never even got a PS4 Pro patch is suspicious.
