Gravity, both as a concept and gameplay mechanic, is great to employ in a videogame. Gravity Rush is a great example — main character can float at will and fall through the sky, and I enjoyed playing with those abilities and traversing its world.
Gravity has had an odd place in gaming history, often serving as a secondary embellishment to the action in brawlers or platformers instead of earning its own place at the forefront as a central mechanic. Not so in Altered Matter’s puzzle-platformer Etherborn, where the entire game design revolves around the manipulation of gravity, both figuratively and literally.
