400th logged game, woo!
For the longest time, I’ve always criticized Bethesda for a lack of variety of types of games in their catalog, as it mostly comprises of dark first person shooters, fantasy rpgs, and the occasional horror (which of course i do enjoy), with the release of Hi-Fi Rush, I can consider my issues with Bethesda resolved. Let me tell you, believe the hype. Hi-Fi Rush is incredible, easily one of the best games of 2023 thus far. This game is oozing with charm, between the comic book inspired art style, the unique rhythm based combat, and the amazing plot, it’s easy to see just how much dedication and passion went into creating this game. Throughout the story i found myself constantly having fun and never getting bored. The humor always landed for me, it reminded me of Saturday Morning cartoons you’d watch as a kid, which gives off the perfect feeling. The thing that disappoints me the most about Hi-Fi Rush is Microsoft’s marketing decisions. Shadow-dropping the game and putting it on game pass immediately, whilst making it exclusive to Xbox Series X|S and PC and not even having a physical release is almost like a wish for failure, and Microsoft wonders why the game underperformed (i’ll admit to my hypocrisy as i played this game using my game pass subscription). This game deserves so much better, as it’s truly one of a kind and amazingly fun. Easily one of my all-time favorites.
