Gravity Rush
Gravity Rush is an upcoming game set to be released for the Play Station Vita.
Set in a city known as Hexville, the player takes control of Kat, a young woman suffering from amnesia, who gains the ability to control the gravity around her from a mysterious cat. The gravity-controlling mechanic can be used to fly through the air, walk on walls, and thrusting devastating kick attacks towards enemies. Gravity Rush also boasts some role-playing game elements, such as leveling up, side quests, optional villains to fight, and large worlds to explore.
It has been met with critical acclaim since it's release in Japan on February 9th and in North America and Europe. It is set for release on June 12th in America and June 13th in Europe.
