    An utterly superlative remastering effort turns one of PS Vita's crown jewels into one of PS4's most engaging and compelling titles. As fresh today as it was on its original release nearly four years ago, Gravity Rush Remastered is absolutely unmissable.

    One of the best Vita games becomes one of Sony’s best PlayStation 4 offerings. While its portable origins mean the game never truly pushes the console on a technical level, Bluepoint has refreshed and reworked the original Gravity Rush with the care it deserved for its debut in high definition.

    This makeover of the 2012 original is worth playing, even for current owners of this essential Vita release. In spite of the somewhat simple gameplay, manipulating gravity is quite liberating.

    Gravity Rush Remastered is close to perfect. The original Vita game was very well received, and while this update doesn’t exactly push the PS4 to its limits, it still looks and plays extremely well.

    While it may not be the most convincing package to get players to return to Hekseville, Gravity Rush Remastered is by far the best way to enjoy Sony’s underappreciated action game. The combat, while still a weak link, feels much better using a controller, and the game’s art style has kept this Vita stunner looking impressive.

    A re-master done right, with significant graphical upgrades, running in butter-smooth 60 frames per second. If you missed the original Vita release, be sure to pick this up.

    A Remastered release shouldn't be cutting corners, and it seems silly that the game's four major zones are all still so faded, dull, and repetitious.

It is much nicer than expected although you can see some limitations, I’m wondering if it is because it was a vita game originally.

    I guess those who enjoy awesome graphics might feel a bit disappointed, seeing that in terms of graphics, it is obvious the game is not a ps4 native. Said that, artistically speaking the game is fantastic, the design of both the areas and characters is great, although maybe could have been a bit better in terms of monsters, but still good. Story is decent, I would not say it is the strongest feature of the game but it is decent, my main criticism comes from the fact that the story poses a lot of questions but it doesn’t answer a lot, giving me a feeling that the story is left kind of unfinished. Good thing about this is that there is good foundations for an awesome story in gravity rush 2, a lot of mysteries will get solved I guess. Also, the main character is a bit too naive and light hearted maybe for my liking, but again, I guess it makes sense considering the game is about her not remembering anything about her past (not a spoiler really, because you learn about this in like the first minute of the game). Finally, I’d say the gameplay is the real strong point of this game, it is really fun to play and the gravity powers are awesome to play with. It gives you a freedom to explore the areas that is not very usual in this kind of games. Combat is smooth and works well and it is fast paced, I’d just summarise it by saying it is really nice and fun to play. You’ll need a bit of time to get used to the powers but once you do, you’ll realise the controls are really good and that makes you feel you’re in real control of the character.

    Summarising guys, this game is quite good. I’d call it a “decaf” sandbox as there aren’t as many things to do and the map is kind of small compared to other games. That is not necessarily bad, as in my case, after playing MGSV, I wanted something a bit less massive but it might be a let-down for some people. Just to give you an idea, you can probably get platinum (easy one) in 25 hours or so. Still I think it is a really good game for a really good price, really good fun and lets you wanting for more. If you like this kind of game I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Where the game excels is in it's colorful characters and fantastic story. I couldn't wait to play each story chapter and see what would happen next each time. Expand

Instead of tying up loose plot threads and figuring outI would have given it a higher rating if the ending hadn't been so disappointing. Instead of tying up loose plot threads and figuring out Kat's origin, we beat up on some forgettable bad guy and called it a day. I had a lot of fun with the game, and it felt like a psychological thriller and a mind bender at times. There are clear influences from games like ico and shadow of the colossus; however, the game should have felt more conclusive like those games. Expand

    WORST BOSS EVER
    Game was ok, but whoever did the Alias boss: please resign and take another job.

    WORST. BOSS. EVER.

    Visual design is off, telegraphing is off, the fight is set in the wrong location, there's not enough information regarding what to do, chasing him at the start is so snoringly boring, heads move WAY too much, down time is WAY WAY WAY WAY too low such that when you have to reposition to hit the guy hes already back up. This fight is extremely slow paced and excruciatingly tedious.

    Delete that boss fight from the game and you have a 10/10 game.
