Hi-Fi Rush is an action game that trusts you to move to the beat. It feels so much more intimate compared to a traditional rhythm game as you are completeing dozens of moves, combos, and actions to a rhythm.

This game reminds me of those early 2000's stylized games, something we really need more of. Its futurama-esque world and its cel shaded graphics let me know the style will never age.

I want to highlight how the game is genuinely really funny, and where I started off thinking it would be... "marvel humor", I was pleasantly surprised of its self aware and distinctive sense of humor. Few games get me to laugh this much.

As a rhythm action game should, the music rocks, and I didn't expect licensed music, but seeing nine inch nails among others highlighting impactful moments is just awesome.

This game flew under my radar, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance.
