6. Unnecessary Stealth - Gravity Rush

Apparently a game that revolves around manipulating gravity to traverse the world and kick all kinds of a** wasn't enough, so both Gravity Rush games decided to throw boring stealth into the mix... for some reason.

Stealth missions suit some kinds of games and not others. There's very little reason for Gravity Rush to bother with stealth, because these games are at their best when they're indulging every fiber of absurdity in their being, not when they're asking you to be sneaky and subtle.

The stealth missions bring both games grinding to a halt, and fairly infrequent though they are, reek of design padding to make the games feel a little longer (and it sure as Hell works).
