How’s the music? Any bangers or some that you don’t like or maybe now like cos of the games integration?


I mean I loved this bit...



I'm not the sort of person that likes music because it was in something I liked. But when music is used right? Chef's Kiss.

Hi-Fi Rush is garnering great Steam reviews as it flies up the best-sellers chart.

The new game from Tango Gameworks just stealth launched last night, on January 25, a few hours after it was announced at the Xbox Developer Direct presentation. Now, Hi-Fi Rush is getting a great reception on Steam, where it's so far been awarded 'Very Positive' user reviews.

That's over 300 user reviews so far, with a 'Very Positive' average for Hi-Fi Rush. The top user review asks players where they were when "Microsoft silently dropped GOTY 2023," while another review praises Hi-Fi Rush as Devil May Cry meets Guitar Hero - that's a potent blend.

Elsewhere, other reviews praise Hi-Fi Rush after less than an hour's playtime, indicating the new game makes an incredibly positive first impression. "I quit only for a moment to give this a thumbs up and gift it," another glowing review reads.

Additionally, Tango's new project seems to be selling very well on Steam. At the time of writing, Hi-Fi Rush sits at the seventh position on Steam's Top Seller chart, only behind mega-hits like FIFA 23, Red Dead Redemption 2, Dead Space, and Hogwarts Legacy, to name a few.



Remember that Hi-Fi Rush's popularity on Steam means players have shelled out the full asking price for it, instead of getting it through Xbox Game Pass. The new rhythm action game is available on PC and Xbox Series X/S alike via the subscription service, but it seems as though it's made a good enough impression to get people to pay top dollar for it instead.
 
I bet reviews editors freaked out on who and how to get a review out from major outlets when it was announced “it’s out in a few hours”
 
9.1 user score so far…nice!

9.3 now.

Just finished a couple bosses. Addicting and great music!
 
This has to be the most fabulous artwork on any game I have played. This game has excellent sound and gameplay.

The music is good and the rhythm is spot on. The whole animation looks like I am watching a show!
 
Is it linear or does it open up at all?


Linear. Complete a level then go to base, repeat. It does appear there will be a level select at some point because of places that are locked off but it's not open world.

I’m surprised by how the game pulls you in to the world of rhythm it has and it feels so natural. They have a little gem on their hands.

Played for a bit. Pretty decent.

Where this differs to something like Hellsinger is in Hellsinger not being on beat is a punishment, but in Hi-Fi Rush being on beat is a reward. Don't have to be on beat at all and you don't feel like you're being punished because of it.

My biggest gripe: Why are we forced to traverse relatively dead space at this snails pace of a jog? So annoying.
 
I’m sure the Sony bros will figure out a way this game doesn’t count.

Going to check this out maybe this weekend looks really cool.
