    This game is trash after playing it for a bit between the annoying music and the graphics that look like they belong on a N64 honest this is a waste of money .. if you wanna play N64 games pick up a Nintendo this game is garbage

    An amazing story and graphics that drive the series forward in a amazing way. The Side Quests are a step forward for RPG games by immersing you into the lore of the world.

    I was never into this type of game but this is really an exciting game genre that I have missed my whole life. Really love this game. I'm half way into it and it is so good. The combat mechanics are so satisfying.

    im not a hack n' slash guy, neither a Rythm games guy, but this game is so wlel made, from the designs, to the audio and a huge amount of polish on the combat system makes this a literally flawless game. so close to perfection its just unfair not give it a 10/10...

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hi-Fi Rush is an example of a game that LOOKS like it should be great, so people assume it is. While the game is visually stunning, the gameplay is one-note, the voice acting is mediocre, the dialogue is awful, and the story is so cliche that I upset myself thinking they would actually take an interesting turn near the start of the third act of the story, but they failed miserably and then I remembered what game I was playing. Setting your game up to be an action rhythm game is such and interesting idea that they do NOTHING with. It literally boils down to “play on the beat”. The beat never changes. The time signature never changes. You can’t come up with your own rhythms to make combos. It’s literally “here’s a small list of moves that make combos if you press this short combination”. The second I realized you wouldn’t have any personal expression in your gameplay, I was bored. Then I continued with this travesty of a game until the ending because I figured it had to get better. It doesn’t. Every fight, the whole momentum of the game stops, and the enemies show up and posture for 2 seconds before anything happens. Then, if you defeat those enemies, a short cutscene plays in the middle of every wave and the enemies show up and posture. This happens, EVERY SINGLE TIME. And as you’re running through a stage, your companions will chime in with something or other every 10 seconds the ENTIRE GAME. “Use the generator, Chai”, “I can break that door, Chai”. Non stop. All game. And let’s not forget the AWFUL platforming. Chai jumps up and down like he’s made of lead. I haven’t felt platforming this bad since early PS1 games, and I’m not very sure it was that bad back then. Its safe to say that I hated every second of this game from about the 2 minutes mark of actual gameplay. For a game that everyone is raving about, I think it’s an absolute joke of a game with wasted potential, annoying characters, a bad story, and stale gameplay. Good thing this is on Game Pass, but even then it’s got a 5% completion rating. Makes me think that people don’t really care for it as much as they claim. And that would make sense. It’s bad.… Expand

    This game has an interesting concept and world with robots and music. Other than that, this game is nothing more than a generic indie hack and slash game.

The greedy developers were too cheap and lazy to continue making AAA games, so now they resort into making mobile games. There are so many games like this in the indie market, so why should I be impressed with this generic indie-quality piece of garbage? It's so overhyped. Had this been Rockstar or Naughty Dog selling this game for $30, the narrative would've been so different. The framerate is horrible during cutscenes in a pathetic attempt at keeping the budget low. This whole "art style" stuff is just an excuse for developers to be cheap and lazy. This game tries too hard to be funny. 2004 wants its humor back. Running animations are cringeworthy.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Although this game is not a cash grab as it's just $30. That's one thing the developers got right. If you are going to give me half the game, it better be half the price. Nintendo would've charged $60 for this indie trash. Although I do not feel this is worth $30, as this is literally just a generic indie or mobile game. Boring and repetitive game with lack of content. I would recommend until the price drops to $10 or less before purchasing this game.    … Expand

    Hi-Fi Rush a copy and paste ryhythm combat game that's been done countless times before nothing new here. Some cared for the sounds and music and it is a rhythm but its a rhythm game that's been done many times before and done better by others.

    Very boring tbh. Decided to give it a shot, after seeing the overwhelmingly positive reviews. What a chore to sit through, just mashing a button in sync with a little circle indicator on screen.

    Basic story, childish humor, most of the music is so generic that it doesn't inspire me to keep the rhythm. I spent the game annoyed and consciously counting the beat in my head trying to press buttons on time. There is no drive here for me. The only positive thing about the game is several story cutscenes that are well produced. I love good rhythm games, this is not one of them.

    A game that steals from everyone including jet set radio and devil may cry. Most unoriginal title of the year with none of the depth. The cringe dialogue is the nail in the coffin.

    Worth about $5 or the cost of those mobile android games you pay a little money, no more than that. Framerate is janky, graphics are poor. Content is extremely light. Save your money

    Robots, humans and cyborgs look beautiful and believable. The environments are wonderfully detailed and cartoonish. The sound design is of course brilliant, as it is one of the cornerstones of the whole concept. In addition to original music, the game features famous band names such as Nine Inch Nails, The Black Keys and The Prodigy. [Issue#325]

    Hi-Fi RUSH offers 12-14 hours of satisfying hours of music, action and plenty of laughs. Rhythm, beat, robots. What more can we ask for?

    Like other rhythm games, what starts as frantic button-mashing turns into rewarding jam sessions. As you learn to time your strikes to the beat, you'll face an escalating range of robot foes that fight back (also on tempo, of course). It's a dance paired with an amazing soundtrack, and — funky as it sounds — I promise, it works.
