It’s a sight to see and hear as I have never enjoyed a game in this manner before. There’s trees in the distance jamming, and cogs moving all in rhythm. Even enemy attacks and cutscenes are conscious about the music’s rhythm at all times, as the game never went off-beat, which is an impressive achievement for a game that is around ten hours long.Įven on Idle, Chai is moving and snapping to the music. The moment Chai is thrown out of the operating table his surroundings and movements are in sync. Hi-Fi Rush is such a perfect merge of Devil May Cry gameplay with the rhythm subgenre as Tango Gameworks sticks to the concept of everything moving to the beat. Apparently, being a defect means he’s to be killed on sight, so he fights his way through various robots in the compound, and meets new friends aiming to uncover Vandalay’s secrets and put a stop to it. With that, Chai is now branded a ‘defect’ and bears a music player fused into his chest, resulting in his whole world being forced to move into the beat. Unfortunately, the procedure doesn’t go as planned, as a foreign object was included in the operation. You play as Chai, a wannabe rockstar that participated in the Strongarm project, in which his broken arm was replaced with a robot one. I was on board the moment I saw the game in motion, and when they dropped the bomb that it was available on PC and Xbox platforms right after the show, I downloaded it and easily fell in love with the rhythm of Chai’s adventure in taking down a series of corporate bosses at Vandalay Industries. Suddenly releasing a game the day it was just announced is no easy feat, but the developers pulled it off with our first look at the game carefully explaining the core concept of every attack and animation moving to the beat of the game’s music. Developer Tango Gameworks ( The Evil Within) shadow-dropped their new title Hi-Fi Rush during the Xbox and Bethesda Developer Direct and took fans by surprise - and, as it just so happens, there’s good reason for the hype, since Hi-Fi Rush is easily a Game of the Year contender for 2023, and I was blown away by almost all aspects of this charming rhythm action game. If you told me that at the start of the year I would be completely blown away from a rhythmic action game, I wouldn’t believe you one bit, but here we are.
