It’s a hack and slash with a combination of platforming for the whole family. From the start, its presentation, its plot and even its controls say it all. Its playtime is perfect, and you can play it as many times as you want. However, the button-matching stages can be tedious if you struggle to keep up, as well as a couple of bosses whose mechanics are unclear during the battle. Otherwise, Hi-Fi Rush is just flawless.
Hi-Fi Rush offers a colorful and unique gaming experience that constantly engages.
What you will remember about Hi-Fi Rush is just how charming it is. It’s so rare for a game from one of the major developers to take a creative risk, and Hi-Fi Rush does just that. Not only is the core of the game innovative, but the way each character is written takes a big risk of having people switch off before they develop and you grow to love them. I hope Hi-Fi Rush is incredibly successful. I hope it teaches the industry that creative innovation can also create profits, and we see more new and interesting ideas from the big boys in the future.

Metal Hellsinger but easier! Really liked the graphics and how the world reacted to the music to keep you on the beat (if you can), but even if you don't have rhythm you can still play it.

Hi-Fi Rush es una auténtica obra de arte. Es lo más que puede hacer un juego por hacerte sentir inmerso en la experiencia, cuando te dicen que los golpes deberían ir al ritmo de la música da la impresión de que va a complicar todo las cosas, pero la música es tan buena, acompaña tan bien a cada situación, que darle a los botones al ritmo de la música es instintivo la mayoría de veces. La historia es bastante original, no está mal, el guion destaca más por los personajes y su sentido del humor que por lo que es la historia en sí. Por último, el apartado gráfico es precioso y está súper bien optimizado, yo pensaba que iba a tener que bajar los gráficos a tope para tener unos fps estables, pero con los gráficos casi al máximo ya iba como un tiro. No creo que encontréis un juego que le de tanta importancia a la música mejor que este, es por eso que para mí, se merece el 10, no se le puede pedir más. La idea es magnífica y la ejecución estupenda.

What likely started out as an Xbox and/or Bethesda executive thinking “Hey, wouldn’t it be neat if we kept this game a secret and launched it during a special event?” has led to what could easily wind up as one of this year’s GOTY contenders exploding onto the scene in spectacular fashion. Hi-Fi Rush is classic video game action that blends amazing combat in a unique hybrid of genres in with memorable characters, a wicked sense of humor, terrific gameplay that’s accessible for all players and mind-blowing visuals and music. It’s an instant classic, even without the shadow drop, and delivers a candy-coated blast of chaos that conceals a clear labor of love and a weird purity to it all that you need to experience.

Hi-Fi Rush is going to stay with me. I absolutely adore this game, far, far more than I would I would have imagined, given everything said above. It is, quite literally, infectious, as you will not only find yourself involuntarily bopping along with the beat as you play, but even after you’ve shut the game off... It’s joyful, addicting and something I may play twice just for the hell of it. An absolute win.

In breve c'è poco da dire se non che siamo davanti a uno dei migliori hack n slash platform degli ultimi anni, una continua botta di adrenalina e la splendida art direction ma sembrare di star vivendo in prima persona una serie TV animata. Il plstform e il gameplay mai noioso lo rendono un titolo imperdibile. 9.5/10

I can't imagine any of Hi-Fi RUSH getting old. It's so vibrant, so full of life, and so unique. It stands out in a world where many AAA releases seem determined to be anything but. Add in the replay value of chasing high scores and Rhythm Tower, which functions a lot like Devil May Cry's Bloody Palace mode, and this is a game that you can play for a long time.

Hi Fi Rush is a surprise in every way: launch, gameplay, story, voice acting, performance... the first must-have of 2023.

Hi-Fi Rush is an energetic and frantic game, with lots of character and characters. Some of its bosses encounters are amongst the best I've played in a long time. The weakest part is its rhythm-based system, but the game is smart enough to let the players enjoy it even when they're not beating everything up following its tempo.

This is a world that, robot assassins aside, is pleasurable to exist within and to explore, made all the sweeter by virtue of its unexpected arrival.

Hi-Fi Rush is a nice surprise from Tango Gameworks. The originality of the combat system, halfway in the world of rhythm games, is a gimmick that gives the game its strength but also its biggest weakness, making it repetitive. With ten hours to finish the game, it's not a torture either.

Great Game with a vibrant world and addicting Hack and Slash gameplay combined with Rhythm game action. Story is very solid and heartfelt/earnest.

I'd give this game a 7.5, but I can definitely understand why people give this a 9 or a 10. I think the exploration is fun, the graphics are great, and the aesthetic is really cool. However, what I have come to realize is that I personally just don't like rhythm games all that much. If rhythm games are you're thing, I can easily see this being a 10/10 game. I enjoyed the rhythm mechanic during most fights, but the sections where I had to follow button prompts on screen to press a big button and open up a new path were just tedious and took me out of the fun. I also hated when the game gated me off and made me match some button combo to the beat to parry lasers from flying robots. These moments when the game forces you to do these things just felt so annoying and disruptive. I got to chapter 6 which I think is about half way and I had to put the game down because I was annoyed. Maybe I'll come back to it later if my backlog is empty.

Behind gorgeous animations, music, art style and sound design lies a hack n slash game which is just... kinda average? Slow and some questionable design decisions here and there. And the reddit type humor is embarrassing. But its a good game for $30 I guess

It's a game that's been unnecessarily hyped for lack of good titles on the launch platform. For kids and casual gamers.

Совершенно уродские CTE для открытия некоторых дверей, которые ломают ритм игры, да и просто раздражают
