    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is very mid, honestly the controls are wonky and the gameplay is horrendous. 30hrs in and still the game just doesn’t improve… Expand

    I partly enjoyed my time with Hi Fi Rush but the lack of enemy variety, uninspired dialogue (especially the robots), stale text logs that attempt to build up this dystopian-lite world, and too similar environments make it an overall bad experience.

I beat the first boss fight thinking, “Hey that was kinda fun!” but then it went right back to the unbearable snarky meta humor that is exhaustingly pervasive in superhero movies that I had to peace out. I couldn’t picture myself every caring for the peppy irreverent main character and I don’t get the appeal honestly. It’s an extremely polished experience I’ll give it that. Not a single bug, just boring beyond belief.… Expand

    Another cartoon type game from Xbox. After an hour of gameplay you get bored with the same dinamics. Still waiting for something decent from xbox.

    Developer and Xbox gets props for Gamepass drop and art style but after hour it got repetitive and boring. I had to put it down and went back to Monster Hunter Rise

    Repellant characters are so insufferable that even good dynamics wouldn't help this game. I'm a drummer so I gravitate towards rhythm games, so the combat is OK. But there is so much awful dialogue from a character that seems like the 'heroic' version of the incel from high school who refused to shower.

    I tried to like it, I kept at it for 2 hours before I uninstalled.

    Decent gameplay but the characters all talk like there from 4kidz anime dub.

    Impressively, this game doesnt live upto the hype. The difficulty scaling is awful. Even on the hardest difficulty it poses absolutely no challenge. Graphically on par with 360 games. Freezes in some areas. Camera controls are bad. I will add however that dispite this very low review, it may appeal to kids and people who arent as experienced with video games.

    Recently tried this after reading a lot of hype over social media. I played around 1 hour and couldn’t carry on, I found the combat to be really tedious and basic. The anime art style is nice but the game just didn’t do it for me.

    Xbox has become The LA far left gaming company thats has to put that in their games. Been with xbox since the original xbox and the games started to go down hill in the last couple years of the xbox 360. This Leftiest BS is ridiculous. This is my last time buying a xbox console

    Boring game and it flopped. Metecritic isn't reliable for reviews and allows trolls. I'll get my reviews from Opencretic now on.

    Rare achievements means nobody is playing this game. Gamepass fodder. That it is and nothing more. Don't let these reviews fool u. These people are just fanboying- they aren't playing this game.

    El juego está me no es una gran experiencia si la compramos con dévil may cry, bayoneta, niert, etc. Asta juegos anteriores de los ya antes mencionados dan una mejor experiencia de juego y sale más barato.

    They were smart to not give codes to reviewers. The game is a dumpster fire and luckily It's on gp.
    Dropping it the way they did was to avoid reviews altogether.

    Thank god I didn't waste money of this mobile game.

    This is what happens when a company (ms) doesn't feel the need to make quality games.

    The community is to blame.

    I didn't enjoy this game at all unfortunately, it was pretty boring and didn't keep my engrossed.

    I wouldn't personally recommend it to others, maybe watch footage first to see if it's your type of game.

    A mitad de camino en el mundo de los juegos de ritmo, se hace muy repetitivo, esta bien para pasar un rato pero sus 10 horas son muy monótonas.

    Jogo cartunesco com desenho até que bonito. Mas tirando isso, jogo muito simples, poucos comandos. Repetitivo depois de um tempo. Mecânica chata.

    I tried it because I wanted to see what the hype was about, so here is my review thinking it was the same as metal hellsinger, but sadly it is not, the game itself has good graphics that is all that it has. The button are too simple after finishing it l basically wasted my time, giving it a one score is too generous. Maybe it's for other people because this was not my taste.

    Ich kann den Hype durch die Xbox-Fanboy-Brille absolut nicht verstehen. HIFI-Rush besticht durch langweiliges Gameplay. Die Charaktere sind total lieblos. Kämpfe wiederholen sich immer wieder. Am Anfang noch interessant aber nach 20 Minuten ist man schon davon genervt

    I have giving more time than i normally give to a game that is just terrible but this game got such hype I tried to find why and i've found a game that gives one no reason to continue past the opening couple mins. The story is dumb and the gameplay offers nothing that we've not seen hundreds of times before and in those hundreds of times it was done better. Also imo the music sucked andI have giving more time than i normally give to a game that is just terrible but this game got such hype I tried to find why and i've found a game that gives one no reason to continue past the opening couple mins.

    It’s a hack and slash with a combination of platforming for the whole family. From the start, its presentation, its plot and even its controls say it all. Its playtime is perfect, and you can play it as many times as you want. However, the button-matching stages can be tedious if you struggle to keep up, as well as a couple of bosses whose mechanics are unclear during the battle. Otherwise, Hi-Fi Rush is just flawless.

    What you will remember about Hi-Fi Rush is just how charming it is. It’s so rare for a game from one of the major developers to take a creative risk, and Hi-Fi Rush does just that. Not only is the core of the game innovative, but the way each character is written takes a big risk of having people switch off before they develop and you grow to love them. I hope Hi-Fi Rush is incredibly successful. I hope it teaches the industry that creative innovation can also create profits, and we see more new and interesting ideas from the big boys in the future.
