![]() The gameplay is very similar to the original game, with the biggest most noticeable change being the addition of two new combat styles in addition to Kat’s normal one. It’s just as fun to fly around doing nothing productive and showing off your powers, as it is to progress the story and complete the game’s challenges. Although Gravity Rush 2 isn’t explicitly a “superhero” game in the way that you might think of one in the era of the Marvel Universe dominating our media, make no mistake, Kat is a superhero with all the perks that come with it. ![]() Kat can alter gravity to fly through the air, create powerful physics-defying attack combinations, or stick herself underneath, or on the side of, large buildings to get a tactical advantage. Gravity Rush 2’s main strength, though, is its unique superhero gameplay. You’re always rooting for her to be happy, even if you don’t know exactly what’s going on. Honestly though, the story is more of just a vehicle to get to know Kat better Gravity Rush 2’s lovable main character Kat remains genuinely cheerful, optimistic, and kind no matter what she goes through, and never comes off as phony. It doesn’t help that the pacing is a bit strange, as the plot will jerk you from relative calm, to epic climaxes that feel like they could be the game’s final mission, and back again multiple times throughout Gravity Rush 2. The game’s many side quests are critically important for understanding the full breadth of the story, and those that skip ahead (especially people that didn’t play the first game) are going to be armed with very little information for what’s going on beyond what is right in front of them. Even after playing the first game, I still struggled at times to suss out the finer details. It slowly gets more confusing as Kat’s past catches up to her and starts to intertwine with this new story. Kat has to reunite with old allies, and make new friends, in order to turn things around for the people in this land, and get back to her home.Īlthough the story gets a fresh start of sorts, putting Kat in a new area with new characters, it assumes that you have played the previous game and remember all of its details. Kat and others are pulled into a gravity storm that drops them into a foreign and depressing land where people are forced into hard labor just to survive under a police state. ![]() Gravity Rush 2 picks up where the last game left off. And despite the game’s flaws (of which there are definitely some glaring ones), it’s hard to not fall in love with its charm. It’s a game that takes on the personality of its main character: the sweetly charismatic and unbreakable Kat. In a world where so many games are formulaic, annual, bleak, gritty, and brown Gravity Rush 2 is colorful, different, and cheerful, even at its darkest moments. Her first script, Panopticon, has Anthony Mackie and Shailene Woodley attached to star, and Andrés Baiz ( Narcos) on board to direct.Īs of now, Gravity Rush does not have a release date.There are so many reasons to be appreciative of Gravity Rush 2, a game that PlayStation 4 fans should consider lucky to have, considering the original (remaster aside) was a niche game for a niche – and arguably at this point – failed handheld. As for Jerome, she looks to be a relative newcomer to Hollywood. Most recently, she directed episodes of Netflix’s Echoes, which hit the streaming service last week. Gravity Rush will serve as her biggest directing credit to date. Throughout the game, Kat uses her abilities to defend Hekseville from gravity storms and the mysterious monsters known as the Nevi.Īlong with directing Secret Society of Second Born Royals for Disney+, Mastro has directed episodes of The Runaways, The Bold Type, UnREAL, and Jane the Virgin. Gravity Rush, which was released in 2012, focuses on the leading character, Kat, who is an amnesiac with the ability to manipulate gravity. The news comes courtesy of Deadline with the outlet reporting that, while it is being produced through Sony’s PlayStation Productions, it is unclear whether Sony will distribute the film. Secret Society of Second Born Royals director Anna Mastro is set to helm the film from a script by Emily Jerome ( Panopticon). A live-action Gravity Rush film is in development from PlayStation Productions and Scott Free Productions.
