- Hi-Fi Rush reviewed by Michael Higham on PC, also available on Xbox Series X|S.
The latest action game from The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo develop Tango Gameworks has best-in-class animation, endearing heroes to cheer for, and villains you love to hate, all wrapped in good-natured humor. It turns a dynamic rock soundtrack into its greatest weapon, putting meticulous detail into syncing the beat to all aspects of the experience.

Devil may Dance. No bugs, No Performance issues, No Microtransactions, Rare to see these days. And a Shadow dropped game.Need sequel for this Masterpiece 💗
Gow ragnarok, forbidden west elden etc ring yeah really rare to see no microtransaction.
@@razor15593 3 games out of the entire year? Thats not saying much man
it does have bugs,a tleast on the P.C... there is audio lag when you set the frames too high and there is issues with wide screen monitors.
@@b3at2 games not being optimized for pc that’s nothing new lol unfortunately
@@b3at2 According to devs game is meant to be played at locked 60fps, because animations and music is tied to frames.
Edit: Turns out it didn't matter how successful it was.
The success of Hi-Fi Rush is definitely going to lead to more shadow drops in the future from Xbox. All this buzz and praise while spending very little in the way of marketing is a pretty big win for them. I'd love to see more high quality shadow drops from all the players, personally.
Starfield is probably next if you start looking at what’s been said in the last months or so about the release. March seems more possible than ever.
It’s a bit easier to take the risk and do shadow drops with Microsoft and game pass behind you.
That is possible that why they want pulish Starfield well so there is not bug
It really only makes sense for Xbox... because of gamepass...gamepass is a great marketing tool....the fact it can shadow drop...and millions of ppl just have to click download to try it....they then spread the word...the 30 bucks price point is also huge.. because that's a lot easier to impulse buy than 70..
Hopefully this also lets publishers see their games don't have to be 70 to generate revenue if it's genuinely great.
Even in the Hifi Rush story itself they jab at the unnecessarily high marketing budget and low development budget in Vandelay's company issues 🤣
This is one of the rare games that deserves a 10/10. It is faultless. Everything works as intended as is fun. It is so well polished. Best rhythm game ever.
Imagine a game launch without major gameplay problems or bugs, that's becoming rare. Now, imagine doing this with silent and secret development, with low numbers of people testing for security reaons. This game and launch is amazing.
@@diariodefoto And also imagine doing that while simultaneously making one of the most well-animated games probably ever.
It didnt got a 10 because is not a ps exclusive
9/10 combat can be better.
@@ninetailedfox579121 they got that comic book look
Aaaaaand Microsoft just closed this game studio
Xbox shoots themselves in the foot yet again.
Microsoft has been screwing up for a while now. Hopefully, Sony gets some decent competition soon because Nintendo isn't going to cut it.
😂😂😂😂😂
Cause this game didn't make 5285 Mio per year with microtransactions and other cr..
And it’s gone
This feels like a modern Dreamcast Game. 10/10
YYYOOOOOO!!!!! SPOT ON!!!!!!!!!!
Jet Set Radio's Cousin
I’m getting DC vibes while playing it
shenmue days :')
@reiysasoffioti6159 Describing a nearly perfect game as flawed is quite something...
Lmao Forspoken spent millions on advertising while Hi-Fi Rush didn’t spend a dime and HFR has had better overall sales🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sales and revenue
Are you talking about Xbox sales vs playstation sales?
@CUZZO HOLMES talking about Forspoken vs Hi-Fi Rush overall sales from console and Steam
Forspoken didn’t speak to anyone lol
@@Sergeofsocal lol Unspoken
Game feels like a breath of fresh air...this is what the industry use to be about
It’s even better that it makes subtle fun of the industry without being preachy or self-righteous about it.
when gaming was fun and not walking simulators.
that dreamcast feel to it mannnnn
We need battle royale mode and season pass
@@draftfgc Fun is subjective 🤦♂
Chai breaking out of the force field using the beat from within is one of the best moments in a game!
Word!
Yeah, one of my favorite moments in the entire game and the Mimosa boss fight being a Space Channel 5 reference.
Agreeddd
Sadly it was entirely scripted, even if you missed the beats it wouldn't matter
@nxt_tim it's meant to be fun and meaningful. Missing the beat limits the rewards , not breaks the game.
You don't get your moves to fill the rhythm fully right away, but when you do, golly it feels perfect.
Especially when spamming aerial combos and ground slam 🔥
Even jumping and dodging with the rhythm, It's insane.
Can't wait to play this on PS5!
Yes I’m excited to play!
Ditto! 🎶🎼🎸🎧🎹
Me too. Just seen that it was coming to ps5 👌🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Uh oh, stinky
And?
One of the best games I've ever played. One that definitely deserves a sequel. 10 out of 10.
You must be on Xbox only player because it's not even the best game that has launched so far this year
@@borborkontri4837 can you chill?
@@borborkontri4837 as playstation player, it's better than forspoken that's for sure
@@XenoGX18 we don't talk about forspoken...
@@borborkontri4837 imaging having this take.
10/10 from me
One of the best games I’ve played in a while !
Glad you liked it but wow best games. It’s just average imo.
Same here. Played 2 hours and I’m deeply in love.
@@smellywaffels1967 I'm sorry to hear that your taste in games is poor. :P
Maybe not a 10/10, but certainly a 9.5 for me.
@@smellywaffels1967 mid waffels
This game was an awesome surprise for me. It deserves a 10 out of 10 in my opinion
0 Hype = Amazing game
Well Square Enix, Forspoken lost (to a shadow drop). Someone’s life is going to be a living hell cause of this.
hehehe, I'm glad this keeps getting repeated.
Square enix has been so bad the last few years.
Been playing the game daily since it launched, and am currently focused on replaying story missions and doing the rhythm tower. The thing that still blows my mind is how impressive the in-engine cutscenes are. It's genuinely looks like you're watching a (very exceptional) hand-animated show. There are also a small number of actual hand-animated cutscenes, and honestly, the in-game stuff looks much better.
Literally about to buy an Xbox for this game.
Just get a ps5 some guy said is not a Xbox exclusive
@@lapatabelluda2240 Actually it is, he can only play it on pc and Xbox
@@lapatabelluda2240 it's an Xbox/pc exclusive
@@lapatabelluda2240 Bethesda game
Go for it. Xbox has some pretty big games coming in the next few months.
This is the path of the industry. Just a masterpiece.
Make sure to use calibration in the options of the game to guarantee timing with the controller and game!.... Basically if you have lag with 🎮 controller and console you can adjust it in options. So every button press matches the on screen graphics.
You can't adjust it.
there arent ways to do that tho
Just finished this game and truly enjoyed every single second of it, glad it was on the gamepass tbh. Story was nice, Combat can be difficult at first but it can so addictive and satisfying once you caught the grasp of it and start chaining perfect combos. And the characters were funny as hell. Would definitely recommend giving it a try if you have gamepass 💯
story is non existent
@@user-yk1cw8im4h With that comment we all know already that you haven’t play the game. Thanks for your participation. Try harder next time. 😉
@@rogermisla358 That one is a troll. Saw him mouthing off to someone else as well in this same video thread. Guarantee they haven't played the game
Finally a game that can be a game.. Not a movie.. Finally a game you can turn on just to have fun.. And not be coddled by back seating.. Finally a game.. That just exists.. To be a game
it feels like a cartoon tv show for teens.
What is wrong with story driven movie like game ?
@@hadinevergiveup6983 When that's all we get and we don't get anything else.. That's what's wrong.
When the story is written badly and there are more cutscenes than game.. call it a Visual novel not a AAA title.
Did you miss elden ring? Or?
@@hadinevergiveup6983 that’s what movies are for.
A Game made with soul and effort in the 2020s Decade ?
this cant be true
Psychonauts 2 was like a year ago bro
@@pliskin5161 Don't forget about games like it takes two and other awesome games made with soul and effort.
@@pliskin5161 and ratchet and clank rift
Brilliant games are still made with passion, even now
The problem is that nobody gets them, and they remain unknown
And it has post game support with cosmetics you can buy with in-game currency instead of another crappy battle pass.
Whole world move with the beat, tons of details,
and then they have Robot Cat 808, a cat can do special attack, charm the enemies,
10/10 Already confirmed for one of GOTY nomination.
Crazy how this game isn't a 10/10 when some way worse games got that score... This game is so perfect
Finnicky platforming.
These types of games are the reason why gamepass is superior to anything out right now
No
this is just one game tho
One game won’t save that golden turd.
Laughs in redfall.
No stop it.
We need more AA games like HiFi Rush, AAA tripe are a dime a dozen these days.
@Mrslothymacaroony AA or AAA is a question of budget and team size. So this is a AA game. Because only small team inside Tango Gameworks made it and they clearly didn't have the budge of let's say Gostwire Tokyo, Halo, Forza or Starfield! So it's a AA game made by a AAA studio
@@mrslothymacaroony4643 it had a AA budget
@@julianojosoa2145 it definitely has a bigger budget than ghostwire that game was barebones and didn't even look that great
We need more video games like Hi-Fi Rush.
This game is really perfect 10/10
it should be 10/10
9/10 is perfect
It's not a Sony exclusive. They can't give it a 10.
@@bobjoe5937 They've given reasons why the game is not flawless perfection, if you disagree with them, say why, but that's not an argument.
You are a sad man.
Got it on Game Pass! Can't wait!
Xbox definitely did they thing
This comment didn’t age well
Love this game. It's so polished and creative. It deserves all the love and recognition it can muster.
Finished it yesterday hilarious and addicting! GOTY2023 anyone?
No
Let's calm down. It's January, and BotW2 is coming this year.
Its rare that once a game releases you instantly want a sequal, cartoon tv show, merchandise & 808 at the same time!!
AMAZING 10/10
This seems like such a fun release. We need more of this in the gaming sphere
Goodbye Tango Gameworks
Nice to see a game that is actually unique and well made get the praise it deserves!
This game straight up buried forspoken 😆 and no one knew about this game till its launch. While forspoken had a hell of a marketing
Perfect game, fun, art style/effects are on point.
Tango Gameworks should make more game like this in the future!
The studio head said he wants to change their image and make games like this.
About that…
For a game to be shadow dropped without any hype, this is easily the best thing on an X-box in well OVER a decade. Hopefully this sends a message to MS that these are the games that they need, and we want -not unfinished over budgeted cash grabs, but games with actual vision.
Happy Tango may have a hit on their hands. Feel they are a slightly underrated studio. Love that he's a 25 year old protagonist even if he still looks like a 15 year old.
Microsoft literally drop a GOTY out of nowhere
It won't be game off the year if it's up to Jeff Keeleey or Sony LMFAO
It’s excellent but we have a loooong year ahead of us with some very anticipated games releasing.
Wait 1 year
Easily a 10/10. Most fun I’ve had playing a game over the last few years.
Easily a 10/10 game. I've been loving every moment of it. Currently on track 8.
Kudos to the creative team at Tango. A very coherent vision executed near perfectly. Sometimes you just get all the right people together and something pretty amazing happens.
I'm really having fun with the game. Definitely a must-play! The shadow drop was just amazing also.
It's kind of sad that we have to praise a game for just coming out... complete. That doesn't feel like it was crunched out of an assembly line of overworked, underpaid developers. That puts the player experience before anything else, that has both a solid main story mode and a decent amount of post-game content. That is insanely polished by today's standards out of the box, and that has a very solid PC port that unlike most others nowadays gave me personally 0 issues.
Thankfully this game does far more than the bare minimum and would be a gem in any gaming age. Tango deserves all the praise and sales it gets for it.
It deserves a 10/10 even if you want to find all the little imperfection and flaws.
The video game felt like a video game, and that's rare nowadays, especially under this genre.
playstation player myself will probably not play this game but it looks really fun.
this is the type of games that should be made with care and love, instead of unfinished cash crabs
W for xbox on this one
And now we can 👌
This game is a solid 10 for me!
Because you are new to gaming 😉
Kinda comes gives a vibe of No Straight Roads meets Sunset Overdrive. The art style is hella clean too.
Every second was a banger!! Especially beating it on the hardest difficulty! Xbox deserves their flowers for this one.
I’ve been wanting someone to make a game with this kind of look for years. This looks great.
This is the path that Tango has to follow.
SunsetOverdrive + JetSetRadio + DMC = HFR
That snapping idle position just bought me up...
Note: there are several post-game features too, to expand its longevity
Awesome game, awesome villains and heroes and awesome animations
Reminds me of OG xbox days with those cool experimental titles... it could save this generation if more games were given experimentation and freedom like this
This game will be Game of the Year 2023.
Some of you guys are never happy. When IGN gives a 7/ 10 to a game,you complain about it. But when it gives a 9/ 10 to a great game, you still complain about it. Seriously, what is the point of watching a review if the only thing you care about is to listen to someone who thinks exactly the same thing as you. Maybe you should record your own review and listen to it to have the validation you are seeking.
They need to create a musical video game where you need to sing to progress. Can’t believe with karaoke being so big in Japan they didn’t come out with such idea. A coop game with a karaoke gameplay loop would be an absolut blast with friends 🤣
Issue is the accessory needed to sing
Everyone is making me want an XSX! Two of my favorite genres in a cool, polished art style, and rave reviews across the board? Sign me UP
Definitely a 10/10 for me.
One of the best games i've ever played. Thanks microsoft
10/10 masterpiece
Must play of 2023 especially if you got that natural musical inclination!
Just so cool all round. Love that it's a shadow drop as well ! Would be so cool of they kept the tradition going with this IP and shadow drop the next one when it's ready
Quick correction!
It’s never explicitly said he had an iPod implanted in him. For all we know it could be a Zune.
It's like they turned a 90s cartoon into a game
Not a huge fan of rhythm games myself, but this game changed my view! It is a perfect game with its combat and music.
Woah. Michael Higham?? Haha glad to see bro get some work. Weird to see it be with IGN, but hey! Why not. Is this just a one time deal for now?
This game is such a banger.
The world need more games like this one ❤
That shoutout to the museum music… So real, it stuck with me as well
Would love a Spiderverse movie-tie in game with this visual style. Would fit perfectly
Great game. Love to see a sequel!
literally perfect game, 10/10
Amazing game, shadow drop done right.
My favorite thing about this is hearing kuya Higham on the mic
This game is just a serious vibe all around, that's all I've concluded! 🤘
It’s like Jet Set Radio but more 90s!! 🤩
I’m hoping more games to do with the rhythm are now being made because these games are great
The Evil Within 2 was incredibly disappointing but John Johanas made a great game this time.
I've seen people trying to downplbay the success of this game. Mostly hardcore die hard Sony fans. 🤷🏽♂️
It’s has some real Sunset Overdrive meets anime vibes. Start working on the sequel people!
Costanza better be the end-boss of vandelay industries
Well a game full of innovation and no bugs deserves a 10.
I'd be hard-pressed to call it an innovation, there's been plenty of rhythm based games like Metal Hellsinger and Crypt of the Necrodancer.
But a fun game at its core is definitely worth the time
this game looks so nostalgic it brings back the 2000s vibes like no more hero and other games :D
to me it feels/looks like they combined no more heroes with something like viewtiful joe and the absurd fun that was the scott pilgrim universe. or parappa the rapper. insanely unique and fun experience.
10/10 for me. Its just the perfect game.
The graphic style reminds me of Borderlands and somewhat reminds me of Kick-Flight , one of the best mobile game ever. The game play is fresh, nine inch nails and the prodigy? I'm in!
Who is here after it was announced for PS5?
I’m on my 3rd playthrough already. You’re not gonna forget this one after playing it.
Alternative rock? Hm, maybe I'll give it a go.
A review by Michael P. Higham? For IGN? You love to see it
This guy is still comparing everything in life to persona 5.
Played it and its absolutely fantastic..
Great humor, gameplay and soundtrack.
A new fresh original game that does something actually new made by a triple A studio???
Gues miracles do still exist.
Here's hoping they continue with this kind of innovation.
what are you smoking
@@juleswinnfield1246 Nothing.
Its actually a really great game.
@@juleswinnfield1246 do you ever plan to explain what you find bad about the game or are you going to keep saying “what are you on 😂😂” and “are you insane? 🤣🤣🤣” under every somewhat positive comment?
This is a 10 easily. Very fun game
Pure 2000s cel-shade animation nostalgia
LOVE YOU GUYS FOR THIS
Example like Forspoken shows that next gen graphics alone will not carry the game towards the audience, it's the fun that carries it forward!
