    Amazing story, mechanics and animations. Love everything about it. Best rhythm game I’ve ever played and one of my favourite ever platformers.

    Esse jogo pra mim é perfeito! É a união de dois jogos que mais amo na vida, que é Jet Set Radio + Sunset Overdriver com uma pitada de Kingdom Hearts, mas focado na ação e aventura.
    Hi-Fi Rush é um jogo refrescante que eu esperava por anos.

    Never been surprised so much by a game release as in with HI-FI Rush. The shadow drop release was a total novelty, specially considering the high profile names involved in it's development.
    The game itself is just a total blast and thrill, it brings you back to times were games were all about pure FUN, the aesthetics and vibe brings to memory the best of the Dreamcast era, where we saw    Never been surprised so much by a game release as in with HI-FI Rush.

Game design here is simply impeccable, everything fits like a glove and the intense action is quite a chalange to master, in a good way! The story is light and simple, not interfering with the gameplay too much. This one goes highly recomended..    … Expand

    Assim que vi o anúncio do jogo, lembrei de The Artful Escape, que também tem essa pegada musical, mas é mais focado na experiência, na arte, e menos em batalha. Hi-Fi Rush não desaponta, é muito bem feito, o sistema de batalha é satisfatório e há suporte completo ao idioma português, o que me surpreendeu.

    Surprise hit of the year. Tango Gameworks returns to the Platinum Game/Clover Studio roots with one of the best character action games in years. Incredible sense of style and groove-based action that just feels great. A surprisingly deep combo system, this is really among the very best games of its kind, better than Bayonetta 3 and Devil May Cry 5.

    Hi-Fi Rush is a masterpiece on its own category. It reminds me of the best games of the 2002-2008 era. At day one the game is polished, i played 10 hours so far and i encountered only one bug.

    Its extremely fun. Its one of the highest quality AA games ive ever played in my life. Dont waste your time, try it out! If you dont have the sufficent money in your pocket atm, try to grab a month of Gamepass and im sure you can finish it, because by todays standards, its not a very long game (around 10-20 hours, depending on your playstyle and difficulty). There is replay value as well.
    Hi-Fi Rush is FUN! Im smiling a lot while playing, and its fresh! Something new, finally. Something creative. This is the kinda game people ask for when they talk about the state of AAA gaming.    … Expand

    A true joy. It has fun kinetic combat, along with great hart and humour in it's story right until the end. It is also the perfect length, something that is all to rare now. The only downside is that this for me was the final straw in considering PCGamer reviews still credible :(

    This game's a gd 10. The rhythm aspect is fairly forgiving, and the level grades aren't really discouraging. The art style is incredible and seamless. The comedy is fantastic with loads of homages from anime and games. Tango clearly put lots of love into this game, which seems to be off to a phenomenal launch.

    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.
