A welcomed reminder that video games do not need to be 60+ hours long, open-world, bloated with content and heavily relying on multiplayer, to be fun. Hi-Fi Rush literally came out of nowhere and nearly every second of its playtime SLAPPED!
'Sunset Overdrive' meets 'Crypt of the Necrodancer' with the flavourings of 'Bayonetta' and the comic comedy of 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World'. Every element to this neatly packaged experience was brimming with charm, personality and just plain fun. The soundtrack, ranging from Nine Inch Nails to The Prodigy, slapped when flailing my guitar to the beat. The art stylisation was impeccable. The voice acting charismatic. The combat fluid and incredibly satisfying. The bosses intense and varied. Just...what a game!
My only gripes are the forced parrying (I suck at parrying, so that's a me issue) and the occasionally long level design. But these are nitpicks to what is a flippin' rockstar video game. ELECTRIFYING!!!
