i wanted to love this game even more than i loved the first one, gravity rush 1 was one of the most magical experiences i've ever had with a video game, but it's sequel was relentlessly frustrating.
the new gravity styles were such a cool idea, but were not fun to control at all, especially Jupiter style, in a game where 90% of the enemies are constantly flying across the room, and all it takes is a slight shift to left to go flying past them. made worse by the camera being practically attached to Kat's back when charging up.
despite everything, there were quite a few moments i genuinely enjoyed. the last couple chapters were a blast, i loved seeing everybody in hekseville again, and seeing how they had changed in the years kat had been gone.
chapter 4 also had a very cool(👍) final boss, as well as the ending scene, getting to play as Raven, if only for a short patrol around the city.
if it weren't for chapters 3 & 4, this game might've been like a 3 or 3.5★, and i'm glad i decided not to give up like i have with a couple other frustrating games lmao
