I can't help but feel drawn by the fact the protagonist gets a music player as his heart, I feel like that is the spirit of the game and it pulls off a fantastic rhythmic experience.

Hi-Fi Rush is a fairly traditional character action game, you get your light and heavy attack and multiple combos, but it then adds the rhythm layer that truly changes how you feel it. Timing your combos to the beat, seeing everything around move at the same tempo, you become entranced in the action and when you pull off incredible moves it feels immensely satisfying.

This is also further energized by the art style and animations that are vibrant and extremely polished. Cutscenes also match the beat and pump you up even more for the fight that is about to come.

Sometimes there can be a feeling of "too much noise" and it is hard to judge attacks from enemies off screen, and lengthy stages can be a bit exhausting to play, but these are very minor annoyances for me compared to the overall package.

If you, as the protagonist, also have a heart that beats with rhythm, you'll get the rush.
