Hi-Fi Rush is one of those few "only could have been a video game" games.
Taking a rhythm game and making it into a character action game with incredibly stylistic visuals and a fun, heartfelt story? Right up my alley.
It's not perfect, some of the enemy types are annoying and some of the puzzle/platformer elements left me wishing I could just go back to fighting.
Still, most of the experience is absolutely stellar and highly recommended to anyone who doesn't mind being a little overstimulated after playing a video game. Definitely on my Game of the Year shortlist.
