Hello all, welcome back to To Be Honest Games! After another long hiatus, I’m back with another review, this time for the remaster of one of my favorite PS Vita games, Gravity Rush!

Gravity Rush was a launch title for the PS Vita, coming out in 2012 along with other games such as Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Uncharted: Golden Abyss, and Wipeout 2048. The demo for Gravity Rush is actually what convinced me to buy a Vita (besides being a Sony fanboy), and it was one of the first games I bought when I finally got the system.

The Remastered edition was announced in September of 2015, with the announcement that the long-awaited sequel Gravity Rush 2 would be a PS4 exclusive coming out soon after. While myself, as many Vita owners, were understandably upset by the news, I still was excited to see how much better the game would be on the much more powerful PS4, as it would not only bring the series to a wider audience, but would serve as a preview of what Gravity Rush 2 could be.

I’ll be the first to admit that the announcement trailer for GR:R really blew me away. I was overcome with a wave of nostalgia as I saw the already beautiful game I had once played over and over again with much better graphics, while the classic score played in the background. I felt the same way that I did 4 years ago, as the moment I saw the trailer I knew that I needed this game in my collection. I ended up pre-ordering the game because it was pretty cheap ($30 dollars), but also since it came with a cool exclusive dynamic wallpaper for the PS4’s homescreen.

As of this writing, I’ve already beaten the game and collected all PSN trophies, and as a result I feel as though this review will be a lot more thorough than my previous reviews. Something that will also be a little different is that since I played the original game, I will be using my impression of that game as a comparison point for this review. The last thing that will be a little different about this review is that some of my friends watched me as I played the game, so occasionally I will throw in what they had to say as well.
