Besides being an amazing gameplay element, the A.I. Fighting alongside Raven was a blast, and it felt like I had a real partner helping me through the fights, to the point where she even finished one of the bigger fights for me when I struggled.

The enemies are intelligent and responsive during battles, something I expected after playing the first game, but what surprised me was how impressive the games companions were. Characters like Syd and Raven are finally developed fully and given enough time to really connect with players, while new characters, like Lisa and Cecie, are added to create even more relationships and depth for Kat. The sequel contains a well-rounded set of new characters and provides a fair amount of time to discover and get to know each of their personalities, while still making time to show off almost all of the characters you met in the first game. While the characters in the first game were great, there weren’t that many of them, and they didn’t get as much development as I would like.
#UNCHARTED 4 NO GRAVITY SERIES#
I get most of my enjoyment from the Gravity Rush series from the characters, and Gravity Rush 2 is able to capture and surpass its predecessor in this regard in every way, expertly capturing the charms and quirks of each personality. It’s possible that, due to the quick pace of the game, these questions were answered but so rushed that I missed them, which doesn’t really make it any better. I found myself wondering what happened to a given character multiple times, which really diminishes the game’s story. Along with bad pacing, several of the mysteries the game introduces do not have satisfying endings, if they have any closure at all. This was especially prevalent in the third chapter, where the ending was extremely sudden, and left me confused as to what had actually happened.

This resulted in a lack of a sense of accomplishment, that I would have hoped for, considering the large stakes that you face in the game. Most of the climaxes in the game seem to be rushed (no pun intended). The story, while one that is overall entertaining and enjoyable, suffered from some of the worst pacing problems I have seen in a game.
#UNCHARTED 4 NO GRAVITY FULL#
While new abilities and a large open world create a fun and diverse game, frustrating camera control problems hold the game back from its full potential. While the game does a great job with the story at the beginning, allowing ample time to meet the new characters and make new friendships, the story seems to fall off at key points throughout the game. The game contains three different stories, each with their own villains and endeavors. Gravity Rush 2 starts off in the new city of Jirga Para Lhao, where Kat, Syd, and Raven have been stranded following the events of Overture. Gravity Rush 2 picks up right where the first game (and follow up anime-short Gravity Rush: Overture) left off if you are not already versed in the story of the series, the game might be very confusing as no backstory is given experiencing the first game is definitely recommended. Her selfless, spur of the moment attitude is on full display as she seems to reach her full potential, in what is a fulfilling and enjoyable follow-up to her story. Everyone’s favorite nevi-fighting Gravity Queen is back in Gravity Rush 2, and she hasn’t missed a beat.


Japan Studio created magic when it brought the charming and lively character of Kat to life.
