It was so stupid, heartwarming, and awesome that I can’t wait for people to see it. I try to not spoil things but there is a delightful robot kitty kat named 808 that has one of the best sections during a game I’ve ever played.

In between each mission, you’ll have access to a hub world where you can upgrade your skills, learn new ones, customize your outfit, and hang out with your crew. The humor and style aim at the zoomer, but we millennials are in for a treat with bands like Nine Inch Nails leading the way as you murder robots with glee. The music my god, for a person born in the early 80s it sounds like my formative years. Colors pop, and the world sings to you as everything moves to the beat of the music. The animation work is excellent, the textures are pristine, and the image quality is crystal clear. I cannot overstate how good-looking this game is.

It moves at a relentless pace during missions, cutting between stunning cutscenes that animate at a lower framerate but retain the same cel-shaded visual style of the gameplay. Hi-Fi RUSH is an action rhythm game interspersed with platforming segments and light puzzles. Axe in hand you’ll meet up with various misfits and outcasts who all have a tie to the evil mega-corporation, and over the course of 12 missions you will fall in love with this stupid, gorgeous world. The first thing he’ll come across is a pipe, which quickly gains the appearance of a guitar thanks to all the scrap that is magnetized to it. The world moves to a beat in Hi-Fi RUSH, and everything Chai does to the rhythm is enhanced. After the robotification project goes awry Chai is left with a super-powered robo arm, and a music player lodged in his chest.

Little does he know that the evil corporation he’s signing his life away to has other plans. With a damaged arm he signs up for a project promising him a new lease on life. Rhythm Is A DancerĬhai is an annoying moron.

Announced and released in the same day, I’ve spent 11 hours straight playing what is a damned masterpiece of an action platformer. It is absolutely gorgeous, hilarious, plays incredibly well, and is one of the best surprises I can remember. Hi-Fi RUSH is the latest game from the Evil Within team at Tango Gameworks.
