Gravity.. Gravity ASS 2.. Gravity TRASH 2... GRa... nah it's not that bad. Okay it's kinda ass... but it's saved largely by having inherent soul. The jank feels a lot stronger than in the first game for some reason. Not sure if it's the extra mechanics or just the fact that my mind isn't subconsciously forgiving it for being a Vita game.

Gravity Rush has a very unique gameplay angle and actually doing things is pretty cool. It's like a very uniquely quirky female superhero game, but superman has a JRPG protagonist personality. It's just a shame every other mission in the game forces you to stop using your cool powers and do a "stealth" section - reader beware, the word stealth here is used loosely, because there are no stealth mechanics in the game, you just walk on your feet and if you get caught by the random number generator that determines when a guard sees you, you get black screened back to the starting point. Whenever this happened, I wanted to Gravity Rush into traffic and get hit by a car. A similar feeling struck me often in combat, as my powers would randomly jank out or an attack simply wouldn't work how I imagined it. However, I kept coming back, as Kat has really pretty feet and toes, and I hear if I complete the game she kisses me in real life. 🤞

The story was written by taking 10-15 neat plot ideas, putting them in a blender, feeding them to a dog, following it around and picking up its droppings. No notes. Fuck off
