Hi-Fi Rush is a stone-cold stunner, one with gameplay in lockstep with the beat. While finding one’s groove takes some getting used to, those with a keen ear will be in tune in no time flat.
With Hi-Fi Rush, Tango Gameworks crafted a groovy rhythm action title that will even get the tone-deaf among us hooked.
By masterfully blending rhythm with action combat, Hi-Fi Rush stands out with something unlike any other. Despite some uninspired exploration, the fun writing and flow-ready combat make this more than a one-hit wonder.
Hi-Fi Rush is what happens when Tango Gameworks unlocks its ancestor DNA, finding ways beyond the Resident Evil-ish production and remembering about Vietiful Joe and that early-2000 mood in video games. Is what happens when Devil May Cry finds about the iPod and the 1 dollar the track music, crafting a maybe little game but with a great rockstar attitude.

Although some levels are too long and the hidden secret ending that is actually the only reason for going through New Game+ is even more disappointing than the original ending, that cannot stop even the most hard-to-please gamers from loving Tango Gameworks' latest marvel.
Hi-Fi Rush is an energetic and frantic game, with lots of character and characters. Some of its bosses encounters are amongs the best I played in a long time. The weakest part is its rythm 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.

Considering the game was announced and released on the same day, Hi-Fi Rush is easily one of the most surprising games of 2023. Part of that is literal. The other, more important part, is just how good the game is. Hi-Fi Rush finds a magical sweet spot between rhythm games, stylish action, and lighthearted, character-driven platformers we don't see very often anymore, and by every measure, it comes out on top.
Hi-Fi Rush may not have been successful the first time, but now it’s available to even more players on PlayStation 5. First, it was only accessible via the Xbox Game Pass, but now it’s available to purchase on its own and a physical version will also finally be available thanks to Limited Run Games. The bright and colourful characters, environments, enemies, bosses and more, all playing along to the beat, make this a must-buy for any console it’s available on. Hi-Fi Rush is the perfect game for anyone ready to rock!
Hi-Fi Rush opened 2023 with a very promising start and it’s hopefully a sign of things to come in the future. There are several difficulty options available; so don’t be afraid to drop it if you aren’t having fun. For fans of Viewtiful Joe, No More Heroes or the various River City titles, you will definitely find something to love here.
Hi-Fi RUSH nails pretty much every aspect of its formula: art style, gameplay, technical production, characters, soundtrack. Even if its mechanics are after all quite simple, it's definitely a must-play game and a great new IP we'd love to see expanded in the future.

A fusion of genres, hack and slash and rhythm, which feed back seamlessly into super fun, accessible and challenging musical combat, all accompanied by a most charming cast of characters. Hi-Fi Rush is living proof that a tight, well-polished gameplay design can be enough to achieve greatness.

Hi-Fi Rush is a testament to how developers with a pedigree in making a particular game can still create something different but still exceptional, if given the proper resources.
If you like hack 'n' slay games like DMC or Bayonetta in the slightest and are not appalled by the artstyle and the music you have to get Hi-Fi Rush. The game oozes fun, has a great presentation and follows it's central design ideas throughout the game. All in all Tango Gameworks convinces with its first non horror game and delivers the first surprise hit in 2023. Also petting Robo-cats never gets old.

Hi-Fi Rush has proven to be a fun title with extremely satisfying gameplay. It seems almost absurd that a team like Tango Gameworks has managed to package such an experience, but when you look at the historian of legendary producer Shinji Mikami, everything makes sense. Hi-Fi Rush inherits that naïve spirit, totally devoted to fun and gameplay, typical of productions such as Viewtiful Joe and God Hand, of that Clover Studio that was a new home for Mikami and Kamiya after the abandonment of Capcom. Director John Johanas has succeeded in the feat, demonstrating a captivating and well-packaged vision.

Hi-Fi Rush is an absolute blast nailing almost every beat along the way to its smooth rhythm filled conclusion.
Hi-Fi Rush is immediately deemed an essential experience for gamers, lovers of a great hack-and-slash campaign, the rhythm-based connoisseur, or just a button mashing casual that wants to leap into action without cause. Quite possibly, this year's greatest video game thus far.
Hi-Fi RUSH has been not only a surprise, but a very pleasant surprise. It cannot be hidden that in this writing we have been enthusiastic about the proposal of Shinji Mikami's team, who has shown with this game a versatility unknown to date. If you like third-person action games and you value the spice of using well-known songs and keeping the action at their own pace, you can't miss it.
