Stop sleeping on THIS GAME!!! (Hi-fi Rush - Review)

Translate

On a surprising evening, Bethesda decided to drop a trailer for this new game that none had heard about and saw coming and released the game on THE SAME DAY but it resulted on one of the BEST things that have happened to video gaming in a loooongg while!

Hi-fi Rush is a rhythm-based hack and slasher made by Tango Gameworks and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is available on Xbox Series S and X and PC.

Tange Gameworks have previously worked on The Evil Within series and Ghostwire: Tokyo.

Style to the Top

The artstyle of Hi-fi Rush is what I liked the most about this. It presents a more cartoon-esque artstyle that is reminiscent of games released in PS2 era and I AM ALL FOR IT!!

Actual Gameplay

The premise of Hifi Rush is that everything and I MEAN EVERYTHING is synced to the beat!

From the enemy attacks to yours to the environment, everything is by the beat and it fits perfectly. The game encourages combat based on the rhythm to increase the score and damage dealt and of course, for the extra style points!

The game also features a bit of platforming which is AGAIN based on the rhythm. It has something for everyone!

Soundtrack

In a game all about the beat, you can hardly go wrong with the music! The music is filled with banger after banger which will keep you going throughout the game. The game features music from popular bands such as The Black Keys and Nine Inch Nails.

Performance

Hi-fi Rush is one of the most normal launches of recent and it is saddening that even normal launches are celebrated as all companies decide to just not finish their game on release. This game is polished and complete day one!

Overall, this game is pretty solid and A MUST PLAY for this season. It has everything to keep one entertained and going. It can be finished in under 10 hours and is FREE on the Game Pass! So what're you waiting for?! Go ahead, RUSH TO THE TOP!
