Gravity Rush – PlayStation Vita (2012)

Dive into Hekseville as Kat, a gravity-bending amnesiac who can defy physics—and expectations. Gravity Rush breathes new life into action-adventure with a style that feels like a comic book brought to life. Tilt the Vita, shift gravity, and crash through the city in a warped dance of exploration and combat.

Developed by Japan Studio’s Team Gravity and released in 2012, this Vita-exclusive masterpiece blends open-world freedom, physics-driven traversal, and slam-bros battle mechanics. It launched with the console and quickly became the showcase title for Vita’s motion and touch controls—until remastered versions appeared elsewhere :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
