Gravity Rush is a series that I've always wanted to get into. I've owned the first and second game for a really long time (since my sister wanted to play them). I don't know why but I could never get into GR2, but I wanted to play the original GR for some reason. Either way, I got into the first game and it's a pretty fun game. The story is fun near the beginning, but at the end I have genuinely no idea what was even happening, and I don't think I'm the only one. They introduce these extra characters who barely get any development and add in some random ideas that they want to explore (sort of). It's just a very confusing story that I feel like had to rush the ending.

On the other hand, I absolutely adore the art style, animation, and music for this game. Has to be some of my favorite in gaming. Everything about the general aesthetic just is so well done.

Gameplay is a mixed bag, at best I felt it was good, at worst it was incredibly frustrating. The gravity mechanic is fun on it's own, but adding in the endless amount of Nevi which I feel are just so unneeded, it's gets tiring. I was just getting so tired of the same gravity kick the Nevi routine.

I still feel like it was a fun game overall, just something that I don't think I'd want to play again anytime soon. Once again, really love the aesthetic, gameplay is alright, and the story is... there. The two "main" characters being Sid and Kat's dynamic is cool though.
