It is very reminiscent of the Sunset Overdrive expansion where you face mechs and robots. It is irreverent, unexpected, entertaining. Colorful graphics. It has a Crackdown mechanic where you have to defeat the landlords to go to the end and they drop more and more fierce and powerful enemies, before seeing the final boss (also very similar to Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis mode). Various game modes included in the main game, rhythm game, imitate patterns, 2D platformer, time attack. It's on Xbox Game Pass so get into it without fear.

    The bad:
    Small frame drops (they don't worsen the gaming experience and maybe they'll be fixed with a patch). It's a festival of Cartoon and anime clichés (breaking the fourth wall, script armor, moments of grief, you can't take it seriously even though the characters take it solemnly). Very short (I'm hoping for some expansion to continue expanding the experience. If you don't like Japanese, it's not a game for you.

    Lo Meh!:
    Sega has always been asked for a sequel to Jet Ser Radio Future (Original Xbox) or Sunset Overdrive 2 (before Sony bought Insomniac) and it's good that it came from Tango Games and Shinji Mikami. By the way, many forget that Shinji Mikami and his team had already surprised us with Beautiful Joe before, so I don't understand the complaints.    … Expand

    Finally, a reason to buy Game Pass.

    Великолепный ритм-экшн, выход которого стал огромным сюрпризом, учитывая его качество. Десятичасовое насыщенное приключение, которое держит до конца и не провисает ни в одном моменте.

    From its simple yet elaborate story, HI-FI Rush is a once-a-generation game.

    Rhythm games were long forgotten and this may have been the starting point for new games in this style.

    The lore is simple but perfectly matches the style of play, the characters are well written and full of personality, the world is bright and very well thought out, nothing in this game feels repetitive or boring; the vivid color scheme set a different tone without being too childish.

    Humor is one of the points to consider, it may not suit everyone but it definitely puts you in the position of wanting to play more and more to understand what each character wants and why they are there. The protagonist is the typical hyperactive and young boy who doesn't stop throwing comments all the time, almost as if you were using the sarcastic option in every line while playing Fallout 4.

    In summary Hi-Fi Rush is the most pleasant surprise of the year, I've never seen it happen before, a surprise release and without any exuberant and impossible promises, just down to earth, a game that is not afraid to be a game, without a movie, no father-son drama with arc and post apocalyptic world, just GAME.    … Expand

    The dialogues are a bit silly, but they match the art-style of the game.
    Fighting on the timing of the beat is an interesting idea especially as you unlock new combos and abilities.
    It's not an open world game, but I think the gaming industry needs more games like this, because the open world template became a bit overused.

    Thoughts-
    With massive releases just on the horizon, it’s kind of crazy to think that a shadow-dropped game with a relatively brief 10-hour runtime might be the best thing we see all year. Its charm and style alone could carry it, but the passion behind the project, the love and care that was put into it, is something that hasn’t been felt or seen since some of the best games of 2022, and look how that turned out. Even though it has flashes of games that came before, Hi-Fi Rush is a unique, masterful game that accomplishes everything it sets out to with plenty of style and charm to spare. Tango Gameworks should be proud.    … Expand

    Bets rhythm game I have every played. You know it’s gonna kick ass when Lonely Boy by the Black keys is the intro. I would say I’m not great at keeping rhythm and I had a blast. Characters are fun AF and really tailors to how you wanna play. Def need a sequel to this!

    A very addictive game with a great method of accentuating your play if your able to keep time with the beat while you beat up the baddies. And even if you can't grasp the rhythmic nature of the game play you can still have a good time beating up baddies. Fun time!

    One of the best Xbox/Bethesda and tango gameworks in the beginning of 2023, it really came out of nowhere during Xbox developer direct. I am shocked at how good this game is even though I am not a fan of rhythm games this really caught my attention because the quality is so well done and it reminds me of devil may cry and sunset overdrive together.

    Just amazing! The artstyle, the mechanics, level design, the music (obviously), and even with the story not being very complex, the characters are special enough to make this, one incredible game. Give it a chance, I am almost sure you're not going to be dissapointed :^)

    I only really have two critiques about this game, and neither is too damning. The combat isn't the most inspired thing in the world and doesn't always feel super fun. This is the case even when you're super in rhythm and playing the game it's meant to be played. Of course, it's far worse when you're off-beat. I was also disappointed in the lack of variety in terms of environments & levels. A lot of it feels relatively samey. I did absolutely appreciate the enemy variety, though.

    Muy buen juego. No le doy el 10 por que todavia no lo terminé, pero avance bastante, mejore los combos, le encontre el ritmo, y he soltado mas de una risa con los dialogos, y las bromas. Simplemente Bethesda/Xbox
    Y el hecho de que lo hayan anunciado el msimo día de lanzamiento fue una jugada maestra para evadir el fuego enemigo, que es muy claro de donde viene.

    Buen diseño artistico, gameplay y banda sonora.
    Algo fresco divertido y entretenido que al final es lo que tiene que ser un juego,
    No será un super triple A pero Hifi rush demuestra que con menos presupuesto si se trabaja bien salen joyas como esta.
    Recomendable 100%.

    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.
