i was already on the "fuck microsoft" bandwagon before playing this game. but after finally getting to it. i finally understand... Fuck microsoft. out of touch morons shut down Tango for being too good of a studio. they were tasked with making a smaller scale game to be finished quickly and released. Tango made the fatal mistake of creating an award winning GOTY contender instead... i guess. so in closing. Fuck microsoft. and whatever short sighted reasoning they use to run that joke of a company. HI-FI Rush is an easy 10\10 dopamine factory. Do yourself a big favor. and play this game any way you can.

This game made me realise how depressed I was, it ignited a spark in me and I seriously can't recommend this game enough it's almost perfect and worth every penny I spent from the characters to combat to ost its all just top notch this has become one of my favourite games of all time and I look forward to continue playing it 9.5/10 Fuck microsoft for shutting down the studio

Hi Fi Rush was the best game Xbox published in over a decade, it won awards and was beloved by everyone. Microsofts answer is to shut them down, and it's crap. Hi-Fi Rush is worth playing 1000%, please buy this game and experience one of the best character action games. I fear because of the licensed music it will get delisted in the future because MS clearly doesn't care. Tango, Arkane Austin and everyone affected today didn't deserve this.

I often say that games are fully realized as art when they exemplify unity of concept. I'm adding Hi-Fi Rush beside Loop Hero on my list of games that achieve this. The core concept: what if a hack n’ slash was a rhythm game? So the story is about a kid with an mp3 player as the core of his powers, Chai's character arc is based on becoming a rockstar by becoming a superhero, his surrounding environment is alive to the beat, the aesthetic and atmosphere captures the energy of the driving BPM, obviously the gameplay is rhythm based, and even the arcade modes experiment with and evolve around BPM!! I was a little skeptical when I first saw Chai and Peppermint because they're tropey. But I was drawn in by the concept and vibrant and lively style, and this game is clearly inspired by the ps2 games I love; they were allowed to play with trope and cliché without all of us turning our noses up at them, so I decided to let the game speak for itself. Strong performances from the voice actors endeared me to the cast in the early levels, and eventually I grew to love the cast as they grew to love each other (Pepperica…). I became invested in character growth and the character driven humour only hit harder as the game went on, masterfully walking the razor’s edge between silly and sincere. The first playthrough is quite short, but by the final levels I found myself genuinely touched by the emotional beats and enjoying the story beats which are made all the more engaging by thoughtfully employed quick time events. The story takes a backseat to the gameplay and yet is never backgrounded as each level is filled with personality and chatter from interesting bosses that in turn have interesting fights. I played the game on Hard for my first run and, while the learning curve is necessarily steep due to the length of the game, by the time I finished with it I was very proficient and it felt good to fly through fights that I only recently found quite punishing. Achievement hunting highlighted this particular aspect since I revisited the levels numerous times, always feeling improvement even after I had exhausted unlocks and upgrades. Often when achievement grinding I prepare for a certain amount of tedium, but Hi-Fi Rush never felt frustrating or annoying. I didn’t love having to beat the game on Normal and Easy after Hard, but it felt like a victory lap with all my unlocks after beating Very Hard. That said, if the difficulty achievements did stack I would have gone to Rhythm Master after my Hard run instead of skipping that difficulty. There’s definitely some bloat in the end game achievements, but I’m glad that they’re there for people who love the game even more than I do and have the time and inclination to squeeze what I can only assume might take upwards of 100 hours out of the game. I’m not a perfectionist style of gamer, and I don’t think I could ever muster the strength to complete the no-hit and S runs required by the Wall of Fame achievement, but skill issue, whatever. That means I’m sitting at 63/71 achievements, and I’m very content with that after 40 odd hours. I didn’t bother with the Rhythm Tower and, while I did complete a run of Normal BPM Rush and Power Up! Tower Up!, I don’t have interest in the myriad of technically punishing challenges that lock the game’s 5 rarest achievements. That said, I can maybe see myself reassessing this stance in the future if the mood strikes me to pick the game back up, especially the Rhythm Master playthrough achievement (although damage and hp numbers already feel over-tuned in Very Hard). BPM rush IS very fun though… I was very impressed by Hi-Fi Rush! I’ve seen this sentiment a lot and I’m sure you’ve heard it a lot too: it feels like this game was made for people like me. I love hack n’ slashes, I love rhythm games, I love ps2 style adventure games like Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper. But I don’t think this game is only for fans of those things, and I don’t think it’s fair to go in comparing it to those games. Sure it’s a must get for fans of the above, but I’m confident this game would turn the uninitiated into fans of whatever genre it introduces them to. The combat is tight, the story and setting are fun, the characters are lovable and full of life, the writing is funny and down-to-earth, the music is great; in short, it’s a blast. My biggest recommendation even to non-achievement hunters is to hunt down as many (all) of the vlogs and HR Investigator interactions as posssible! The achievements for these things are super rare and there’s some genuinely hilarious content in them! I love this game!

Hack and slash but to the beat, a game style I rarely excel at. But this was flawless in it's execution. I seriously cannot find anything I do not like about this game. Fighting is in sync, cut scenes you actually want to watch. Honestly wish I had picked this up sooner, it's rare a game gets me hooked in the first few hours of playing. 10/10 nostalgia wins.
