It is really unfortunate that Hi-Fi Rush came out before this, since we got what a perfect action/rhythm game hybrid would look like and this... is not it.

The game looks nice, and the music is decently enjoyable, but both repeat constantly and the joy of seeing the art is lost when you've seen the same animation a hundred times.

Gameplay is also just as repetitive, do rhythm minigames, walk very, very, slowly through hazard filled areas that the game feels too sluggish to properly deal with, then fight more guys and do a little more story.

I wish there was more to say, but there really isn't. If you really love rhythm games, or like YIIK's gameplay then maybe there's something here for you, but otherwise it's best to leave it on mute.
