History YMMV / GravityRush2

** Singlor and Nala were built up in the original game through their {{Foreshadowing}} dialogue, their tragic story, and [[SequelHook Kat's comment about seeing them again]]. However, while concept art reveals their house and Singlor's experiment, they not only don't appear in the main game but they also relegated to only {{Cameo}} status in ''Raven's Choice''.

* GodDamnedBats: The flying Nevi, particularly the larger ones that will always move out of the way at the last minute when you Gravity Kick them. You're encouraged to throw objects at them, but when there's nothing to throw, it's a test of patience. The Lunar Style in general, especially its [[{{Teleportation}} Wormhole Kick]], is practically designed to take care of flying enemies with [[AlwaysAccurateAttack its high tracking properties]] as long as you can get a bead on the enemy, considerably reducing the annoyance of these enemies once obtained.

* {{Applicability}}: The video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XTJtOt7L80 "Gravity Rush: A Hierarchy of Sinking Worlds"]] by [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzR4iyBEFyH4PWFa21aXGKg SolidArf]] interprets the looming threat of [[spoiler:The Darkness]] as being representative of the real-world issues of climate change and ecological disaster, with the [[UrbanSegregation inequality]] highlighted throughout the game representing how poorer communities will be more devastated by it than the wealthier ones that have more time (''[[YearInsideHourOutside literally]]'' in the case of the World Pillar and [[spoiler:Eto]]) and resources, and yet refuse to help out of their own apathy or selfishness.

* UncannyValley: Some of the generic character portraits just look creepy and mannequin-like with their impossibly smooth complexions and glassy emotionless eyes.
* TheWoobie:
** [[spoiler:Queen Alua/Kat. Alua was chosen to become queen and forced to leave her family to live closed up in the castle, where she suffered ridicule and doubt. Not only was she older than when others had chosen but she also failed to manifest a Guardian. Then, when she found out that the people below Eto are in danger of the Darkness, no one supported her desire to help them. [[HopeSpot Though Syd saved her from assassination, he got stabbed to death in front of her and she fell from Eto anyway]].]]

* CameraScrew: Depending on your playthrough, the camera can be merciless in comparison to the previous game, especially if you're in enclosed areas and can't see where you're going. Especially JustForFun/{{Egregious}} during ''Black Eagle'', with its multitude of narrow hallways, which will have you twisting off at every turn, gravity shifting included.

* GuideDangIt: The Photograph Collection sidequest. You ''will'' tear your hair out as you scour Hekseville and Jirga Para Lhao trying to decipher the vague hints the game gives you regarding each subject.

* FanPreferredCouple: Kat and Raven, due to their chemistry, complementary nature, and multiple LesYay moments. It's an overwhelmingly popular couple.

* ContinuityLockout: Played with. If you play through the main campaign without having played the original game first, you'll be hopelessly lost. But the first game's plot was its own blend of incomprehensible, and the plot of the entire series won't make much sense [[spoiler: until you reach the hidden ending of ''Gravity Rush 2'' anyway]].

** Before her [[spoiler: {{FaceHeelTurn}} phase, Kali Angel qualifies.]]
* MostAnnoyingSound: The constant beeping that will go off whenever your health get critically low. It's aggravating, it distracts you when you really, really, ''really'' need to stay focused, and it won't shut up until you find a healing green gem. If you can't find one, make use of the nearest mute button for the sake of your sanity.

** Dusty Tokens. In order to unlock some costumes, accessories, and gestures, the player must obtain Dusty Tokens through online gameplay features. However, it can be days before you can redeem any tokens and you only receive a few tokens at a time. This makes it very difficult to grind.

* FanPreferredCouple: Two in particular. Kat and Raven, due to their chemistry, complementary nature, and multiple LesYay moments. Kat and Syd, due to their partnership, Syd's devotion, and [[spoiler:their shared backstory introducing LadyAndKnight dynamics between them]].
