Why Is Hi-Fi Rush So Much Fun?

Hi-Fi Rush is one of the many fantastic games to come out in 2023. The sleeper hit was surprise-released by Tango Gameworks and Bethesda/Microsoft at the start of the year, and the game merges rhythm games and action sequences together seamlessly in a way that's super satisfying to play. But what makes it so satisfying to be on beat with the music, and what makes the game so much fun to play? Today we're diving into that, along with a brief bit on the current state of the games industry and the importance of "AA" games.

This really does hit different after the recent news. I also think the industry will be forced to put more emphasis on A and AA games

I think everyone wants to blame Xbox for closing Tango but like, the game only have 3 million players in total while being on the Xbox gamepass, Gamepass around that time had over 20, million people owning it. I have seen so many people complaining about the closure while at the same time admitting they didn't play the game. The studio was closed because no one actually played the game, either watching someone else play it or ignoring it completely. YOU clearly played it and I am sorry a studio you liked died but a lot of the outrage seems to be coming from people just looking for a reason to attack Xbox.
