Hi-Fi RUSH Review – Just What Xbox Needed

32 Comments

1. A shadow drop on Xbox Gamepass, with ZERO marketing, published by Bethesda, from the developers who made The Evil Within and Tokyo Ghostwire, comes a third-person action rhythm game which is a contender for Game of the Year. This is like nerd mad libs, but is actual reality. If you throw enough stuff at the wall, Gamepass will eventually produce some real gems.

2. this reminds me of one of my least favrote games ever, Jet Set Radio. I remmeber I saved up for so long and the guy at gamestop sold me on it. I went home and hated every minute of it but I kept playing becasue I spent all the money I had on it. 😖 Im getting flashbacks and now im pissed all over again haha

3. The game is a goddamn nonstop pleasure and easily one of my new favorites.

4. When games are dry this gets the praise

5. Premise way too goofy.

6. I'm loving the game, its definitely the best new IP I've played since Sunset Overdrive. The colors, the characters & humor work well, the gameplay and animations feels like I'm playing a big budget Disney anime cartoon. My wife & youngest son even sit and just watch me play, she told me let her know when I play so she can watch (she doesn't play games at all). Everything is just so well done with the rhythm in mind, every aspect from graphics to level design is very polished, not one bug or hiccup ever. I can't remember the last time I played any game since like Tetris that runs buttery smooth so effortlessly. OK so if I had to really dig for a flaw I would say that the platforming & timed button sequences can be a little annoying (sometimes it takes me awhile to get 'em right) but other than that this game is very close to perfect. I know its early but I would say this could very well be the GOTY…its that good.

7. Looks incredible

8. "Shadow Drop". The buzz word of the week. I've heard it a hundred times. This game looks fun as hell.

9. Seems 2juvenile – nt

10. The design of CNM and it's Sharpie Quirk is just pure genius.

11. It’s amaizing

12. INCREDIBLY satisfying, polished, pretty and all round fun game

13. Hey, Xbox peeps, I'll trade you a shiny new Forspoken for HiFi Rush. You're getting a big budget game in exchange for this cute little indy gem. So, you're getting the better end of the deal, but I'm feeeling generous.

    Whaddya say? Do we have a deal? Please…please I'm begging you!

14. Music Sora

15. He said game of the year lmao

16. Kale gives me Handsome Jack vibes.

    “You’re fired…awww, I should’ve used the flamethrower! Oh well, there’s always next time.”

17. Game is kinda whack

18. This is the game out selling Forspoken? ha ha ha

19. LMAO! This game has absolutely had so many sony fanboys rage dancing and punching the air because it debunked the narrative that Gamepass only produces "fodder quality" games and the narrative that xbox ruins studios and games. Atleast forspoken is already selling at a discounted price lol.

20. Bought this game first day launch when i first saw the badass trailer.

21. visualy it looks like jet set radio

22. its basically jet set radio artwork with the mechanics of DmC and metal hellsinger

23. Thank you for the video.

24. It’s has a sunset overdrive feeling to it.

25. I literally got a ps4 ad

26. This game seems beyond childish and looks like it should have been on Xbox 360

27. so all in all a solid game without the usual modern bullshit

28. And its on game pass on pc =D so You can just make account and play it for 1$. Shame you can't use ps4 controller on xbox app like you can on steam =(

29. I think it's a little early to call anything game of the year right now

30. So Devil May Cry X No Straight Roads

31. somehow i thought ita one of those generic 2D pixel action platformers but it seems thats not the case. Maybe have to give it a try later since its on Game Pass.

32. What a breath of fresh air amongst the current endless stench of zombies and horror porn. Great character development and gameplay … and even gasp endearing boss fights. Glad to see this uplifting game steal all the hype from the triple A's. Bravo!
