It is here where the world begins to open up, placing the mining settlement of Banga into a larger social conflict that involves the upper-crust citizens living in Lei Havina at the top of the city, the poor people stuck down on Lei Elgona, the Garrison forces on Fort Bismalia, and the ominous Council, which seems to be secretly guiding the fates of all. Welcome to Gravity Rush 2's biggest new location: Jirga Para Lhao. With Kat's place in the world established, Chapter 1 introduces players to the main supporting cast and sets events in motion. Gravity Rush 2's drops players directly into to the game's story, and introduces two main characters. Each Chapter takes place in a specific location, with the story unravelling over each new Episode.

The visual presentation is still great though, even with these issues.Gravity Rush 2's main story progression is divided into Chapters and Episodes. The camera does become a problem at times though, making it tough to orient yourself, especially in indoor areas where Kat can get stuck on errant objects and debris. Except for a few instances where the game was throwing everything it had at me, and I got way up close to the action, everything ran well, which allows the excellent art style to shine. If you get up close you can see some flaws and where corners were cut, but the cel-shaded styling is excellent, and the game runs fantastic on even a standard PS4. Giving players so much freedom and letting them run away with it pays off here, giving some great moments of fun, even deep into the long campaign. And it all comes back to that core gameplay of gravity manipulation.

#GRAVITY RUSH 2 FULL#
It’s fun in a lot of ways, full of interesting missions that are much more varied in their requirements than last time.

It almost feels like this is a limitation that should go away entirely, much like the also inconsequential level up system.ĭespite these complaints, both major and minor, Gravity Rush 2 is a good action game. If it runs out you just have to wait for it to recharge as you drop through the air, so you really lose nothing but time. Elsewhere Kat’s abilities are largely the same, with her being able to fly wherever with an almost inconsequential power gauge limiting her range. So combat is still a problem, but it’s less so thanks to some minor improvements. There’s never a full lock on, so it’s just gonna fling you toward whatever was targeted when you hit the attack button, and if you or your target moved, or if something else decided to wander near your reticle, then get ready to stop Kat and refocus on what you were doing. However, the targeting still has issues, mostly due to its chaotic desire to target anything nearby. It feels better this time around, targeting in a more efficient way and hitting its mark more often. Players will likely find themselves relying heavily on the dive kick ability, as they did in the first game, since it usually delivers the most punch in a single blow. This might change later on, but during the majority of the game you will be able to explore a larger and more open environment, which feeds right into the strengths of the game’s gravity system. While you explore a few different areas, the main one is much more open and better designed than Hekseville. While some areas don’t give you much to do within them at a given time, each seems to take its time in the spotlight, allowing you to really get a feel for the setting.Īnd this new setting has other benefits when compared to the original Gravity Rush. This is compounded by the great looking architecture of the towns, which feels classically styled, but all its own at the same time. It’s a compliment to say that just getting from one point to the other is the most fun you’ll probably have in Gravity Rush 2, especially if you do some extra exploration and tackle the multitude of side missions on offer. Flying around the different areas of Gravity Rush 2, soaring through the air while people walk the streets below, you really get a sense of scale and freedom that few other games have delivered.
