Abnormal Mapping 121: Gravity Rush 2

Abnormal Mapping

We’re joined by Scarlett for a stroll down memory lane, when Sony meant interesting games coming from Japanese developers. It wasn’t even that long ago! Revisiting Gravity Rush 2 a mere four years after its release, we remember the power of the Vita to fire our imagination, and the cold light of day that’s been first party development in the last half decade. But also, we remember Kat and Raven, two heroes who do their best despite everything. We remember the vibrant cities and thoughtful meditations on class and capitalism. We enjoy it, always, when you fall in a direction you shouldn’t.
