  It may have been late to the PlayStation party, but the incredible rhythm-based combat and fantastic art direction mean that Hi-Fi Rush is still a wonderful experience over a year since its original release.

  There’s a hell of a lot to like about Hi-Fi Rush: its sumptuous visuals, its over-the-top characters, its silly humour. When it comes to its gameplay, however, we just wish we liked it more. Between its overly long levels, excessive abundance of rhythm-based events, and bouts of combat that ultimately feel overly chaotic and prescriptive, a lot of potential is squandered. Still, there’s some good fun to be had, even once you’ve completed the game’s campaign. And we’d certainly be up for a sequel with some of the rhythm elements toned down.

  Hi-FI RUSH toca las teclas correctas y hace tantas cosas bien, que es muy sencillo ignorar sus defectos. Sin duda, una joya contemporánea y un hit que nunca pasará de moda.

  Tango Gameworks laat met Hi-Fi Rush zien dat een grote ontwikkelaar ook een ‘kleinere’ game kan maken die nagenoeg dezelfde kwaliteit biedt als menig full priced-games van vandaag de dag. De gameplay is heel vet, grafisch ziet het er tof uit en ook qua content valt er weinig te klagen. Alle aspecten van de game zijn tot in de puntjes uitgewerkt en de algehele sfeer is heel tof. De game doet qua gameplay eigenlijk niets bijzonders, maar de toevoeging van ritme-mechanieken zorgen ervoor dat Hi-Fi Rush toch frisser aanvoelt dan het daadwerkelijk is. Er zijn wel wat kleine minpuntjes te benoemen, maar deze zullen het speelplezier zeker niet in de weg staan. PlayStation-fans mogen Microsoft erg dankbaar zijn dat ze Hi-Fi Rush nu ook kunnen spelen, want dit is nog steeds één van de beste games van deze generatie die onder de paraplu van het Amerikaanse bedrijf is uitgebracht.

  Hi-Fi Rush’s PS5 port might not have much that makes it stand apart from its launch last year, but replaying it reminded me just how special it is and made me fall in love with it all over again. In a generation where games are constantly trying to sucker you into spending all of your time and money on one ecosystem, Hi-Fi Rush shines as an all-too-rare standalone, uncynical labour of love that deserves to be played on every platform.

  Hi-Fi Rush is a gorgeous rhythm-action game with a strong cast of characters, addictive gameplay, and an incredible musical score. The game has a ton of replayability with the way its structured, allowing you to improve your timings to perform better in the game’s rhythmic combat. This is an essential title for PS5 owners, and we’re glad Xbox has allowed us to finally experience it.

  Marrying the very best of the action-combat genre with the satisfaction of a rhythm game, Hi-Fi Rush is a titanic achievement that offers plenty of both style and substance. Luscious animations, appealing character designs and a hilarious cast help to elevate this title beyond the level of enjoying for the gameplay alone, I was here for the story too. Learning curves and a few too many dry spells in the main campaign do very little to dampen this rocking good time, a must play for action fans.

  Tango Gameworks’ rhythm-based actioner is not only one of the most enjoyable games in years, it’s also one of the most stunningly beautiful, with fantastic music and beat-matching combat to boot. Hi-Fi Rush is, indeed, as its name suggests, a rush, and having it on PS5 is a real coup.

  Knowing how to deliver an action experience that sets itself apart from contemporaries while simultaneously appealing to genre veterans and newcomers is a strenuous, rarely accomplished feat. Yet, Hi-Fi Rush achieves all of the above with elegance and confidence. Even though the rhythm-infused gameplay is a double-edged sword that can make the later difficulty levels significantly less challenging, every gameplay-related strive is just really damn fun. From a succinct story that expertly sells you on a haphazardly formed group of heroes to vast waves of addictive replayability, Hi-Fi Rush deserves to be played by everyone, and this port has enhanced that accessibility even more. If you were like me and never had the opportunity to try out Hi-Fi Rush before, do yourself a favor and do so. Regardless of your history with action games, I promise you won't regret it.
