Remember that all of these are things that can be easily missed by the players (us), but they definitely care to put those things in the game, and that just shows how Hi-Fi Rush is one giant labor of love from the devs at Tango Gameworks. There are lots of hidden references & easter eggs the developer puts in the game as well.Īnd, if you return back to the hideout on various points in the game, there’s special dialogue between Chai and other squad members! The environment of this game feels immersive, where every little things in the environment bounces to the beat of the music.Įvery character, be it the main characters, the side characters, even the robotic enemies feels like they have, well, their own characters…! We can definitely see more love & passion from the developer when making Hi-Fi Rush.

(Not my most favourite, cause I believe that one counts as a spoiler.) The jokes bouncing from every characters (even from the villains) gave me a light chuckle every now and then.Įven though some of them feels a bit cringey, I feel like it makes it even on-brand, since Hi-Fi Rush does not take itself seriously. I just love how Chai is just a complete dud and the other squad members are reefing on it. The writing team deserved some kudos on writing the characters for this game.Įven though the overall story is just okay, the dynamics between Chai and other squad members (not going to mention names here…) are delightful. Some latency & desync issue (your mileage may vary) + Finally, some interesting mechanics & proper use of the rhythm aspect + Decent light-hearted jokes & colourful characters

$29.99 (price may differ in different regions) Imagine a mash-up of Crypt of the Necrodancer and Devil May Cry. Yes, this game is definitely not perfect, but this game is a great way to start the year strong. To my surprise, I actually enjoy this game.Īfter beating the game, I can say that this is now definitely one of the games on my favorite list. So, I was afraid that I was just going to waste my money on Hi-Fi Rush and not going to complete this game. My last foray into the rhythm/action game was with No Straight Roads, and I didn’t really like it and didn’t finish it.

It was not until I try Crypt of the NecroDancer and Cadence of Hyrule that I finally dip my hands into the genre and finishing rhythm games like Rhythm Heaven Fever. My unsure-ness about the game comes from the fact that there are not a lot of rhythm games that I would call as “good”.Īs a matter of fact, I used to dislike rhythm games. I still didn’t know about this game at this point, until the next day when a Reddit user creates a post in r/gaming about this game.Īfter reading the initial wave of reviews on Steam, I finally jumped on the band-wagon and buy this game, albeit still feeling a bit unsure whether I make the right decision to purchase this game or not. Then, Hi-Fi Rush got announced there and it got released 1 hour after the Direct ends.

There was a Xbox & Bethesda Developer Direct that I didn’t really care about, since I am not an Xbox user & usually not interested in games that they are releasing. It was an ordinary day for me and should be so for the next couple of weeks & months, since I had no anticipated games on my list that I want to try in the near future.
