HiFiRush is the new blueprint for future rhythm-action games to follow.
Hi-Fi Rush MSRP $30.00 Score Details DT Editors' Choice “Hi-Fi Rush cracks the rhythm-action genre wide open to deliver Tango Gameworks' most confident, stylish, and surprising project to date.” Pros Cons As I fight my way through waves of robots in Hi-Fi Rush, stylishly slashing them with my guitar in time with an energetic music track, I suddenly flash back to an Instagram reel.
Hi-Fi Rush rockets to the top of the rhythm-action genre thanks to a stellar combat system that goes far beyond simple beat-matching. It has all the style of an anime, the long-lost creative energy of a GameCube game, and the bright-eyed exuberance of a 2000s teen at their first indie rock show. It’s the rare major studio game that breaks free from the monotony of a stagnating medium to deliver something that truly, earnestly rocks.
Though its story can be a bit “anti-capitalism 101” at times — and loaded with the same quippy humor that plagues games like Forspoken — much of its narrative decisions work in the context of its light aesthetic. Biting satire is baked into its colorful world, as it makes some heavy themes more digestible for a range of age groups. The dystopia is filled with corporate propaganda posters and lore logs that paint a picture of the world’s exploited working class via loaded gags.
When you’re making a AAA video game that’s going to be positioned as a major console exclusive for a company like Microsoft, that’s perhaps the most punk thing you could do. That setup would be enough to leave me impressed, but Hi-Fi Rush goes far beyond that without ruining its elegance. By the end, Chai can perform an evasive dash, parry attacks, tether towards an enemy, and summon companions to pepper in special attacks. Each one builds the soundscape as much as it adds complexity to battle. When players call in Peppermint, she’ll blast robots with her laser pistols and break blue shields, adding a unique bit of syncopation for a few beats.
Style and substance Hi-Fi Rush immediately stands out for its cartoon art style, which absolutely pops on Xbox Series X. Vibrant colors, bold line work, and smooth performance make it one of the best-looking games on current-gen consoles, trading in detailed realism for illustrative perfection. Though what’s more impressive than visual fidelity is how functional its aesthetic choices are.For instance, every element of its levels is painstakingly animated to groove alongside the soundtrack.
