    I've really enjoyed it. Graphic design is really strong advantage of this game, it's kinda similar to Sunset Overdrive. Music is good but personally I've expected something much better especially after The Black Keys in the intro scene. Game is really catchy and it's pleasure to play through. Characters are quite nicely written but due to short length of the gamie it's kinda hard to buildI've really enjoyed it.

Characters are quite nicely written but due to short length of the gamie it's kinda hard to build some strong bond between them. Game is short but this is actually a good thing. Story is simply and silly. Generally speaking Hi-Fi Rush is a very enjoyable experience that probably won't change your life. It's pretty nice, short filler between others long games. It's definitely worth a shot!… Expand

    Brilliant in its simplicity. Leaves a bit to be desired in terms of repetitiveness and overall love towards the end of the game. Very solid rhythm game. 1st half 9/10, 2nd half of game 6/10. Overall I'd give it 7.5/10.

    This game is cool looking and kind of fun but the beginning is very painful with all the training and the tips. I just want to play the game but I keep getting interrupted by more tips. I am not really sure what the story is and it seems like the rhythm part you can just kind of skip if you want. This seems like a lot of gloss but in the end this game is just kind of exhausting.

    I don't think there's ever been a more mid-game, $30 is the smart price, but this game is not a 10, it is not a GoTY contender, and it isn't anything special or memorable, by this time next month, no one will be talking about it because the game has meh replayability.

    combat is innovative and fun as it added rhythm game playing into the action game fighting. Other than this, it was hard for me to find another place the game did exceptional - storyline is boring and predictable, main characters lack depth, platform design just okay

    Arte bonita e gameplay bastante fluída e divertida porém o estilo ritmo não me agradou e em tempos de DMC 5 ou Bayonetta 3 que eleveram o gênero Hack'n Slash HI-FI deixa a desejar

    Está muy bien al principio, muy divertido, hasta que se quedan sin ideas a la mitad del juegos y empiezan a reutilizar mecánicas una y otra vez. De lo más aburrido y repetitivo que he jugado nunca.

    It's pretty nice and feels very-very responsive. Overall, one of the best rhythm games. However, this pop version of Hellsinger is not my cup of tea: too plain.

    Keeping up with the beat is tiring and missing it just feels awful, like your controller is dropping inputs. Looks great and it seems like a lot of effort was put into it but it's just not my thing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. - Visuals: Beautiful. Vibrant. Easily the best part of the game.
    The cartoon vibe is really fun to look at.
    Looked insane on my 32" 2k HDR monitor.
    The whole world breathing and vibing to your beat is something that I've only seen before on like LSD I think.
    It adds a lot to the game.
    My only problem here is the visual clutter that gets out of hand really easy.
    9/10
    - Plot: meh. I got a feeling like it's targeted towards kids, but the adult oriented jokes and the workplace setting makes me feel they tried a one size fits all approach.
    The progression is uneventful and predictable. You know right away who's the good guys and who's the bad guys.
    Overall the plot could be way better if they had more time to develop it.
    The so called "rebels" are so milquetoast that they're scared to even imply that the corporation is evil.
    You can definitely feel Bethesda's boot being licked hard.
    The pro corporate "we just need better corporations" propaganda this game is trying to sell was kinda vomit inducing, especially coming from a corpo like Bethesda.
    3/10
    - Characters: they're fun and quirky, all dressed in futuristic beautiful outfits and rock robotic enhancements.
    Protagonist is kinda generic but grows on you.
    Peppermint is cute, macaron is adorable, 808 adorable, cnmn is kinda funny.
    The villains are quirky and super fun. I loved Zanzo (Jojo villain) and Rekka most.
    I loved the banter and jokes.
    One character I hated.
    Mf Korsica. WTF.
    Who tf though that giving an anime girl a deep voice Scottish accent would be a good idea?
    She's boring, one dimensional and a real sore for your ears.
    Really useless character.
    She reminds me of Sirona Ryan from Hogwarts Legacy - with both the devs tried to force a feminine look on a character who's voice doesn't fit.
    7/10
    - Technical: game ran at a perfect 165fps in 2k. Smooth as butter. 0 stutters.
    Inputs worked perfectly
    I saw people complain about the cutscenes but that's how animation works.
    Some health crates bugged out and didn't react to me hitting them.
    Overall perfect technical performance as far as modern PC games go.
    - Music: oh boy.
    This is supposed to be a music game?
    This was lousy.
    I saw someone describe it as corporate-core rock and I fully agree.
    I wish there were mods to switch these tracks with my own, because that stuff was forgettable, repetitive and gave me a headache.
    Same song playing for 30 minutes plus is bound to do that.
    All same rhythm and bpm pretty much, leads to a boring and headache inducing ost
    0/10
    - Gameplay loop: fun for the first couple stages.
    I liked the tutorials and additions (unlike other people), but I hated the need to use assistants in the platforming.
    Then it gets tedious really quick and makes you feel trapped.
    The combos you buy matter very little, as there's not really much of a window to use any of them when you're constantly locked into parries and dodges.
    Very disappointing.
    The rhythm part also sucked, because the player will hit regardless of missing, and there's no option of creating combos by using more complex rhythms.
    You will be punished for trying to hit 1/8ths and 1/16ths.
    I cheesed the game so easy by doing a "health gain" build.
    Essentially I bought the health tank and all upgrades, and put healing efficacy and parry heals for the chips.
    I became immortal.
    Boring.
    The platforming was easy and not as annoying as people say it is. 5/10. - Conclusion: so much missed potential. What's most depressing is how much hype there is surrounding this game. It's depressing because the standard is so low right now for video games, that a complete game is considered a masterpiece. Overall, this game is short and fun which makes is easy to ignore it's faults. 6/10. Bonus for the fun visuals.    … Expand

    Grata sorpresa este "AA". Aventura con una historia resultona pese a ser simple y clásica, está muy bien llevada por un ritmo alegre, buen diseño de personajes y todo rodeado de un entorno artístico brillante.

    El gran pero del juego es que sea un juego musical si como es mi caso casi que lo odio, ya que al final prefiero un combate basado en habilidad pura y no en ritmo.

    feels like a fun dmc trainer. where rhythm help you master the time of attack animations and combos. beautifully animated. feels like a soda commercial at times. platforming is twitchy and fun as well. worth recommending to friends who are fans of the genre.

    would like to see a sequel or dlc/expansion with more music. if you like games like ratchet and clank, dmc and rhythim games (maybe gitaroo man fans too. but im probably just thinking about the character going through the world consequences with a v guitar) you should really check it out!    … Expand

    Sanırım Microsoft'un uzun zamandır masaya koyduğu en sağlam oyun oldu. Grafikleri ve sanat yönetimi hoşuma gitti. Müzikleri de güzel doğal olarak. Oynarken eğlendim ve eğlenerek bitirdim. Umarım Microsoft bu şekilde ilerlemeye devam eder.

    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]

    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.
