This game just oozes passion, there are so many moments where it feels like the devs loved what they were doing. The countless references, the myriad of rhythm styles that continuously get introduced, the silly and campy story that manages to be heartwarming at the end. This is all on top of the main main mechanics remaining fun, unique and satisfying throughout the entire game. There are a lot of little things that bugged me to not make me give it a perfect rating though. I would say they overclocked on the rhythm gimmick admittedly, it affects thing like the jump being the worst jump in anything ever, or objects just flying in and hurting you to the beat, or rhythm sections being way too strict, among other things. Despite all that, I'm so happy that this game exists. This In a world of AAA games trying to appeal to as many people as possible, I'm so happy Hi-Fi Rush was designed to be a cult classic.

Also Peppermint and Korsica were absolutely dating by the end of the game thanks devs
