Gravity Rush Remastered

Gravity Rush Remastered is a fantastic port of an already fantastic game. The updated presentation is beautiful and nothing was lost in translation when putting a handheld game on the consoles. With tons to do and additional content, Gravity Rush Remastered is a fantastic addition to any gamer's PS4 library.

The story is still told using a mixture of comic strips as well as cut scenes which have also been slightly improved. Overall, Gravity Rush Remastered is an absolutely incredible port. It doesn’t look quite as good as a native PS4 game but it is night-and-day once going back to the Vita version. The updated presentation alone makes it worth going back to gamers that played through the game on Vita.

In the end, Bluepoint deserves credit for managing to bring out the best in an already-pretty-good game, allowing PS4 owners the chance to experience the charm of Gravity Rush unhampered by the limitations of its original platform.

For those curious in the title, though, Gravity Rush Remastered manages to improve upon the Vita original in nearly every way, while retaining the charm, stellar soundtrack, and innovative ideas that made Gravity Rush an award-winning game to begin with. As we wait for Gravity Rush 2, Gravity Rush Remastered should be enough to whet fans' appetites, along with bringing new fans into the fold.

While some control issues can be a point of frustration, Gravity Rush is a great game that looks and plays beautifully. Its unique movement, charming story and intriguing characters make this an adventure worth taking on current-gen hardware.

Taking to the skies is a fun but slightly rocky experience, but was fun through it's 10+ hour flight.

Gravity Rush Remastered is a great upgrade from the PS Vita original thanks to a solid 60fps 1080p presentation. The joy of exploring the world of Hekseville is still very much intact, with the gravity shifting ability once again acting as the main source of fun and enjoyment. However, the boring missions combine with poor combat mechanics to make for a lesser experience than the concept deserves.

An excellent remaster of an imperfect but hugely endearing action adventure, that completely justifies the ongoing plans for a sequel.

This review covers my thoughts on Gravity Rush as a whole and not just talking about the remaster.
