About Gravity Rush 2
Gravity Rush 2 is a third-person action-platformer developed by SIE Japan Studio and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Released in 2017 for PlayStation 4, it follows Kat, a gravity-manipulating protagonist, as she battles cosmic threats while figuring out her mysterious past. The sequel expands on the first game’s core idea: flipping gravity to navigate environments and fight enemies. With three distinct attack styles and a new ally named Raven, the game mixes fast-paced combat with open-world exploration in a surreal, neon-drenched world. It’s a direct sequel to Gravity Rush, offering more spectacle than substance but leaning into its zany energy.
Gameplay
You control Kat by flipping gravity with the right stick to walk on walls, ceilings, and floors. Combat revolves around switching between three attack types: a close-range punch, a long-range shot, and a dash strike. Battles often involve dodging projectiles while gravity-jumping between platforms. The game’s structure is linear but peppered with collectibles and side missions that encourage backtracking. Missions vary from platforming challenges to boss fights, with each boss requiring you to master a new gravity trick. Controls are responsive but occasionally floaty, and the game’s pace shifts between frenetic combat and slower exploration. Replayability hinges on 100% completion, which requires extended grinding for hidden items.
What Players Think
Community ratings on IGDB average 78.2/100, with polarized opinions. 34% of players complete it, averaging 20 hours of playtime. Critics praise its visual flair and inventive gravity mechanics but call the combat repetitive. The game has 47 achievements, many tied to obscure collectibles. Price at launch was $39.99, though it’s now rare to find. Players on forums describe it as “a wild ride with charm to spare” but “overhyped.” Some note the story is convoluted, while others love the freedom of flipping gravity mid-fight. Completionists highlight the grind-heavy endgame, with one user calling it “half the fun.”
PlayPile's Take
Gravity Rush 2 is best for fans of fast-paced action and gravity-based traversal. It shines in short bursts but falters in depth, with combat that feels more style than substance. The $39.99 price tag at launch was fair, but it’s now niche. Achievements add replay value, but the grind for 100% can feel tedious. If you enjoy inventive movement mechanics and don’t mind a flawed, flashy story, it’s worth a try. Otherwise, skip it. The sequel remains a cult pick for its bold, if inconsistent, energy.
