So, Hi-Fi Rush came out of fucking nowhere and kinda took over my life for the past few days. I love rhythm games and Character Action games, so having something like this which has this and a ton of personality to boot might actually be one of the best surprise drops in gaming history.
The story doesn't start out mind-blowing and Chai could be a bit much at times, but both him and the story get much better as the game goes along and ends in a pretty sweet place. I love ALL of the other characters, except maybe the villain. Sonic doesn't really have much of a presence throughout the game and isn't all too threatening, but he's still fun for what the game is. But the others? Awesome. I love Chai, Peppermint, Korsica, Macaron, the other bosses, this game is so fucking clever with its dialogue and so endearing in its tone that I grew attached to this little band of misfits quick.
And that's before even mentioning this game's incredible presentation. The comic book inspired art direction fits really well and at times gives me JSR flashbacks. The animations are crisp both 2D and In Engine, the soundtrack is an absolute fucking BOP from beginning to end, and the game looks and runs really good technically as well.
As a beatemup character action game based around rhythm, it definitely took me a bit to get used to, but once it got going I was having a BLAST. Timing all of the hits, jumps, and dodges to the beat was super fun and optimizing my runs with special moves, ally attacks, and passive abilities was incredibly fun. There is SO MUCH CUSTOMIZATION HERE.
And the bosses are all amazing and the movement is mostly fluid and the voice acting throughout the game was cheesy and fun without sounding grating like another video game that released this week! This game just should not be REAL. I almost feel like I'm playing an early 2000s Cartoon Network show with incredible rhythm based combat.
I love this game so much, and even if it isn't perfect and the character and controls troubles does keep it from the 5/5 it probably deserves, I am just so SO happy that this game exists.
Also Peppermint is a bi icon, sorry ya had to hear it from me!

Also it's hilarious that even as someone who doesn't care for rhythm or character action games, I love it as much as you do, this game is so good it gets everyone into it.
