    Simplesmente a melhor surpresa desse ano(literalmente), o jogo foi lançado no mesmo dia do anúncio com uma gameplay extremamente divertida, uma história bem legal e engraçada, dublagem em português e todo aquele capricho que a Tango Gameworks vem mostrando em seus jogos

    Awesome game, on of the best games in 2023. I recommend it to everyone.
    Maybe the one point of contention - they should have added more licensed music in my opinion.

    Best musical combat I've ever experienced, I love every combat and boss fight, the beat and the music makes all of this experience even better track by track, even just chilling to the music in the title screen is so great, for me it's a good GOTY contender cause of it's originality.

    The game is incredible and up there with Halo 3 and Reach for my favorite Xbox exclusive. The art style, gameplay, the music gives off so much life compared to a lot of Xbox's recent exclusives (except Ori). The only problem is Chai is very one note and is the only unoriginal thing about this game

    The game is set in a retro-futuristic world where music is the source of power. The player controls Chai, a young man who has been given a Walkman that allows him to control the music and fight enemies.

    Hi-Fi Rush received mixed reviews from critics. While the game was praised for its visuals, music, and gameplay, it was criticized for its short length and repetitive levels.

    Here is a summary of the pros and cons of Hi-Fi Rush:

    Pros:

    Beautiful visuals
    Catchy music
    Fun and challenging gameplay
    Creative level design
    Great sense of humor
    Cons:

    Short length
    Repetitive levels
    Lack of difficulty options
    Technical issues
    Overall, Hi-Fi Rush is a fun and enjoyable game that is perfect for fans of rhythm games and action games. However, the game's short length and repetitive levels may be a turn-off for some players.

    Here are some of the things that Hi-Fi Rush does well:

    The visuals are stunning. The game has a bright and colorful art style that is reminiscent of cartoons from the 1980s. The character designs are also very creative, and the environments are full of detail.
    The music is catchy and upbeat. The soundtrack is a mix of original songs and remixes of classic tunes, and it really helps to set the mood for the game.
    The gameplay is fun and challenging. The game mixes beat-matching with action combat, and it's a lot of fun to try to keep up with the music while fighting enemies.

    However, Hi-Fi Rush also has some flaws:

    The game is short. It can be completed in about 10 hours, and there's not much replay value.
    The levels can be repetitive. There are a few different enemy types, but the levels themselves tend to be samey.
    The game lacks difficulty options. There's only one difficulty setting, and it can be too easy for some players.
    The game has some technical issues. There are a few bugs and glitches, and the frame rate can drop during intense moments.
    Overall, Hi-Fi Rush is a fun and enjoyable game that is perfect for fans of rhythm games and action games. However, the game's short length and repetitive levels may be a turn-off for some players. If you're looking for a short and sweet game with a great soundtrack and some fun gameplay, then Hi-Fi Rush is worth checking out.    … Expand

    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.

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

    Hi-fi Rush is a very good rhythm game with unique ost and gameplay.
    All The boss fights are very good and different each other making them unique.
    I would personally recommend this game if you liked Devil may cry 5 because the combat are very similar.
    In conclusion I would say that this Rhythm game is one of the best i ever seen.

    Um jogo simplesmente incrível, a gameplay é super fluida com a mecânica rítmica envolvendo tudo desde seus ataques, inimigos e o próprio cenário (Todos são sincronizados com a música). A música por sua vez é de maioria autoral e é simplesmente perfeita para as situações, os personagens são carismáticos, inclusive os vilões.

    9/10 - Incrivel (Concorre pra GOTY).

    Oh man, I loved it. The music was great, the rhythm based combat was really cool. Reminded me of my old Rock Band/Guitar Hero days but as an action platformer. Took me around 14 hours.

    Hi-Fi Rush was a wonderful surprise and probably the most unique game I’ve played in a long time. I played and finished the game in 8 hours because I was so focused on Hi-Fi Rush’s rhythm-based combat. To explain the combat, I’ll do a quick explanation of its story which is something that feels like a cartoon show that would be played on a Saturday morning. Not only does it act like aHi-Fi Rush was a wonderful surprise and probably the most unique game I’ve played in a long time. I played and finished the game in 8 hours because I was so focused on Hi-Fi Rush’s rhythm-based combat. To explain the combat, I’ll do a quick explanation of its story which is something that feels like a cartoon show that would be played on a Saturday morning. Not only does it act like a cartoon, but the art of Hi-Fi Rush also takes inspiration from other art styles such as comic books and anime during specific segments. In Hi-Fi Rush you play an inspiring rockstar, Chai, who goes through a cybernetic surgery that accidentally merges his music player to his heart. With his heart now being the music player, everything in the world around him goes to the beat of his music and because of this, he is now labeled as a defect by the corporation responsible for his surgery. With the power of friendship, Chai and the friends that he gains along the way must defeat this evil corporation to the beat of the music.
    Now with the world going along to the beat of the music, that means Chai and the player must defeat enemies and time combos to the beat of whatever song is playing. While this might sound difficult, the combat and timing are quite easy and fun. Even if you manage to not hit enemies on the beat, it is still balanced so that you can still do damage and is still fun. Of course, you can level up your abilities so that certain abilities do even more damage on and off the beat. If you’re like me and are tone deaf you might have a hard time hearing the beat, but thankfully not only is there a bar in the UI to help you find the beat, but the world around you literally goes to the beat. Enemies walk and swing on the beat, lights, and doors go to the beat, and so on. At one point you might learn the rhythm and will find yourself tapping your foot or nodding your head causing you to get better level by level.
    While I did have fun, there were 2 issues I had during my 8 hours. The game can get very repetitive, and this is because of the level's very formulaic design. When going through each level, you mainly do 2 things, which are platforming and fighting. While there are some minor puzzles and some collectibles it doesn't help change the formula. This might start to affect a player but only near the 3rd quarter of the game, which is either good or bad because it might stop someone from actually finishing it. If we ever see a second game I hope they change up the level formulas so that it stays interesting all the way through, but thankfully for such a unique game, it might not affect a player.
    Hi-Fi Rush may have a formulaic level design which causes it to get a little repetitive, the game's cheesy Saturday morning cartoon art style help give life to a game that could've easily failed if not done correctly. Being able to fight enemies to the literal beat of the game's amazing soundtrack, the player can feel like a rockstar, which brings something new to the rhythm-based genre. If a second game does ever gets announced, I will be excited about what Tango Gameworks will bring to the table and hope they give us the show of a lifetime. In the end, I’d give Hi-Fi Rush an 8/10.    … Expand

    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

Audio is another great aspect of this game (it will be strange if it isn't, cuz it rhythm game all about music ya ?XD) but to my taste it will be great if sound composition contain more actually lyric not just sound itself. Gameplay can be treated as slasher, i guess, and it's not bad especially in middle-last part of the game when you get more combo, allies and special abilities. the final part is a plot that also strong part of the game cuz it fun and also contain a lot of reference to movie/anime/games, also overall story can surprise you in some twists and so on. as conclusion it's very strong game that can be really fun to you especially if you rythm game enjoyer but as for me it contain a lot of very small minuses that dont allow me to say that this game "10of10gameoftheyear". oh also play it on the controller because press alt/space/lmb/rmb/e is kinda difficult =D… Expand

    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.
