Gravity Rush 2

Gravity Rush 2 was released January 2017 and it’s as much fun as Visa slots, only without the chance to win real money!. The second game expands the gravity controlling mechanics from Gravity Rush. Players have the option to select a gravity style from 3 options – the original from Gravity Rush, and an additional 2 styles, Lunar and Jupiter. Lunar is light and increases speed and assists Kat in jumping higher. Jupiter makes her heavy, but makes her attacks more significant.

Enemies from Gravity 1 return to haunt Kat in Gravity 2, for example the Nevi. But other characters such as gravity shifter Raven, who in the first game was an enemy of Kat’s shows up in Gravity Rush 2 as an AI controlled ally, who is able to fight alongside Kat in some of her battles.

Gravity Rush 2 has triple the number of missions than Gravity 1, and the game is anything from, 20 to 40 hours in duration. The map in Gravity Rush 2 is at least 2 and a half time bigger than the map in the previous version.

Plot

The story of Gravity Rush 2 starts when Kat and her mysterious cat Syd make their arrival in Banga Village.
