About Gravity Rush 2
Gravity Rush 2 arrived on PlayStation 4 in January 2017 as a sequel from SIE Japan Studio. This action platformer follows Kat, a woman with the power to manipulate gravity herself. She returns to the floating city of Hekseville to face a new threat that endangers reality. The game focuses entirely on single-player adventures where you explore a vertical world filled with hidden secrets. You travel between massive structures and dense urban areas while chasing down clues about your past. The story picks up immediately after the first title, so players need to know the basics of Kat's abilities before diving in again.
Gameplay
You move by shifting gravity to walk on walls, ceilings, or anything with a surface. Combat involves three distinct attack styles that change how you hit enemies and massive bosses. You can slam down with heavy force, dash through the air for speed, or use zero-gravity stances to dodge incoming fire. A typical session looks like free-falling through skyscrapers, landing on rooftops, and solving environmental puzzles that require precise timing. You also manage Raven, your shadow companion, who helps you access tight spaces and fight alongside you. The controls feel weighty yet fluid once you master the momentum mechanics required to cross this three-dimensional map without falling to your death.
What Players Think
Players on PlayPile seem divided but engaged with this title. The IGDB score sits at 78.2 out of 100 based on 99 ratings, suggesting a solid but flawed experience. Average playtime hovers around 15 hours for main story completion, though many users push past 20 hours to find every collectible. Community moods show excitement about the gravity mechanics but frustration with camera angles during intense fights. Review snippets highlight the freedom of movement as a top strength while criticizing repetitive enemy encounters. Completion rates indicate that roughly 60 percent of players finish the game, which is decent for a narrative-driven adventure. The community appreciates the visual style and music more than the combat depth.
PlayPile's Take
This title works best if you want to explore a vertical city without worrying about multiplayer pressure. The price on the PlayStation Store makes it an easy buy for fans of platformers who like physics-based puzzles. You will unlock several achievements, including one for mastering all three gravity styles, which encourages experimentation. However, the camera system can get annoying during boss fights and may slow your progress. If you enjoy games where movement is the main focus rather than shooting or stealth, this fits the bill. It does not reinvent the genre but delivers a competent sequel with a memorable protagonist.
