Hi Fi Rush is a wonderful piece of art.

There's the time-old argument as to what's the most important thing in a video game, is it the graphics? The performance? The gameplay? The truth is, it's the experience. Experience is king. It's a combination of all these parts to make the player the star of the show and make them know it. Hi-Fi Rush pushes you under the spot light in the absolute best way possible.

Maybe I'm biased, "rhythm hack-n-slash with comic graphics and a goofy cast" feels as if it was made for me personally, but this game is just so incredibly well executed that I can't help but want to recommend it to everyone. The gameplay, the music, the cast, the writing, the levels, everything is just immaculate.

My only major gripe is that sometimes during the fights it can get a little too crowded, and there's maybe too many spinning plated without sufficient warning of oncoming attacks/low health. But ultimately its a gripe I got used to with time.

No other game has made me grin ear-to-ear like an idiot while a boss kicks the shit out of me, purely because I'm wrapped up in the spectacle of it. I so desperately hope that this isn't the last we see of Chai and the gang.
