Gravity Rush is a very rare thing in the video game world; it was released as a PlayStation Vita exclusive. Hopes were high back in February 2012 when the game was released, just two months after the Vita itself launched. The game seemed to review well, with it sitting at an 83 on Metacritic, and reports at the time claimed the game had sold 200,000 units by August of 2012. The game even went on to be remastered for the PlayStation 4 by the prestigious remaster studio Bluepoint (the same developers behind the Demon's Souls PS5 remake), and a sequel, Gravity Rush 2, was released on the PS4 in 2017.

But what is Gravity Rush? What is it like playing a game on the PS Vita in 2025, and is the game worth your time? Let’s find out in this week's episode of the Beat Your Backlog Podcast.
