Excellent music choices, hype boss encounters, cool character designs (808!!!!!) and an excellent set of levels right at the end, where normally a game like this would trip up and deliver some of its most middling content. I’m not surprised this was a surprise drop; Hi-Fi Rush is a very confident game, and one that’s sure to win over a lot of people. Parry system aside, this is one of the best hack & slashes of recent memory.
