HiFi rush is a one of a kind-unique experience and a very charming one at that. I played Hard mode because I find myself to be at least above average at rhythm games but this one especially challenged me. It took a while to get used to the timing every one of your button presses on the beat to rack up your rhythm gauge, but once I did I really found myself to be "one with the music". Speaking of music this game has some banger tracks. Also the art style was so cool every zone had such a cool atmosphere and the boss fights were electric. I even thought the story wasn't half bad and while Chai at first seems hacky and stupid, him consistently being a punchline till the end of the game actually made me laugh the more I progressed. There was some real meat here and I knew this was gonna be a good game from the praise it was getting, but I'm honestly kinda bummed putting this down because I know it'll be a while till I play anything else like it.
