Hi-Fi Rush Is Awesome!! [XsX]

This is only a cut-scene from the game, but it's a great representation of how fun the game is. I've yet to finish the game due to work and other duties (3 bosses in out of 6), but it is a great deal of fun.

That's not to say it isn't frustrating at times. Some of the QTEs could be easier to read. And the beat feels off or random at times. And if you're not careful and keep track of your surroundings, you will find yourself repeating tasks.

If case it's not obvious from the video, the entire game centers around music beats. Specifically a simple consistent beat to which EVERYTHING in the game moves to. Be it running, walking, jumping, or just how the always moving level environments works. The game basically holds your hand with consistent visuals of the core audio beat. And It Is Beautiful To Watch!

Speaking of beautiful, this game has a VERY Sunset Overdrive feel and look to it. Even the audio and humor resembles it. It looks and feels like a classic 90s cartoon. The 3D animation is incredibly smooth. And it's only enhanced by the traditional animation that overlaps it seamlessly! That animation is by the talented Madalin Truica and his team. Truica is currently working on modern Looney Tunes animations. You can find some of his Hi-Fi Rush animation on his instagram at:

If you've not played the game yet, then do yourself a solid and check it out. Currently a part of the Xbox Game Pass, but more then worth the $30 price tag. And yes, it's also on Steam. Not sure about Playstation or Nintendo. This is for sure a Game Of The Year contender!
