Each has their own purpose for certain situations but it also simply just fun to use and juggle with your own attacks to take the enemy into combo city. On top of that there's the companion system which is just a fun way of incorporating the characters we like from the story and make them more involved in the gameplay. Especially when finish an attack at hit the button in time and it just really feels like you're smashing the enemy's head in.

It also really makes so much fun to pull off. Gameplay The seemless transition and fusion between hack and slash combat and rhythm games is just sublime. Which let's be honest it's probably going to be the sequel but anyways let's actually talk about why this game is great. And it'll be a long time until something like this happens again. Great games actually come out often but game's like this which has this much love to it while not being indie is a proper miracle. You telling me that a game made by Tango Gameworks (who previously made The Evil Within), which is apart of MICROSOFT of all companies made a game that is this good, shadow dropped, cheap price (not €80-60), no microtransaction bullshit?!!? It's just beautiful.

FULL VIDEO: ġ1h 58m PlayedHi-Fi Rush is a triumphant, miracle game. I really loved HiFi Rush, and 2023 has been such an incredible year, and despite many great games released back-to-back, Hifi Rush really is one that I still think about regularly and one that, if you give it a chance, I feel will stick with you too. If you still need to get around to this one, it is worth your time, and if you don't own an Xbox, this is available on both Steam and Xbox Game Pass. The witty writing, musical choices and pieces all mold and make the overall aesthetic of HiFi Rush and henceforth, what I love about it. Chai and his friends are all so charming. To avoid termination, he begins working with your hacker partner Peppermint to end their evil ploys and set out on a rebellious adventure. At this moment, he becomes the most wanted by the Vandelay corporation, who have sought to capture the defects of their most recent schemes. Hifi Rush, to me, tells a really charming story, a quirky story centred around Chai, who, after applying for a new arm to pursue his aspirations of becoming a rockstar, is registered a defect. It doesn't punish the player for not hitting on the beat, but instead rewards people who can continuously do so, incentivizing you to want to improve and perfect HiFi Rushes combat and do it in sync. It allows the player a unique variety of abilities. The environments pop to the tune of the music making HiFi Rush's combat work well. Everything is playing to the rhythm of the music. But it isn't just your companion in sync with the beat. HiFi Rush's rhythmic combat is conveyed through auditory means with the music and visually through your floating companion 808, who will flicker on the beat. So let's dive into the gameplay for HiFi Rush. Overall HiFi Rush pulls influences from many directions whilst also feeling like something refreshing and new. HiFi Rush isn't shy of hiding what it is, from its early 2000s rock-inspired soundtrack to its cartoony visuals and presentation. What we have here with HiFi Rush is a similar evolution that melds the foundations of a Rhythm game and laces them neatly into a hack-and-slash action game.

Some examples in more recent years are games such as BPM or Metal Hellsinger which take a doom-inspired doom ascetic and revolve the fps combat around timing and coordinating your shots to the bear. The state of Rhythm games these days is quite an interesting situation seeing a lot of different games meld the core tenants of a Rhythm game with another genre. He described the visceral feeling that comes from playing in sync with a group of people and how this level of syncopation would be a core influence for HiFi Rush. Some of the musical influences stemming from the director's love for jamming out to Radiohead covers with his school friends. The Verge had an interesting interview with HiFi Rush's director John Johana regarding the development and inspirations for Hifi Rush. HiFi Rush is a stylish game with a ton of heart and substance.

So what is HiFi Rush? Well, HiFi Rush is the latest instalment from Tango Gameworks that takes a massive departure from the gruesome horrors of The Evil Within for a more vibrant hack-and-slash rhythm game oozing with style through its comic-book-like art style. We'd see many classics get some limelight, like Redfall.you guys remember Redfall? But more importantly, Xbox and Tango Gameworks would casually drop their latest new game, HiFi Rush. 16h PlayedAt the start of the year, Xbox held their developer direct conference to showcase many of the upcoming titles that would release within the first half of the year.
