Gravity Rush
Speaking of games that deserved a bigger audience than the Vita could offer, Gravity Rush and its sequel Gravity Rush 2 are some of the most underrated games from that era. These open-world action games star Kat, a young woman who has the ability to shift gravity, allowing her to “fall” across long distances. She can use the momentum to unleash devastating kicks against her enemies. Gravity Rush can be a bit disorienting, but there’s nothing like using Kat’s powers to send yourself barreling through an environment. Traversal has always been one of the biggest barriers for me in open-world games, because if it’s not fun to move through a space, I don’t care how big it is. Gravity Rush has such a simple, exhilarating answer to this question that it remains an old favorite of mine.
