REVIEW: “Faults aside, Hi-Fi Rush is an enjoyable experience for anyone with a penchant for hack-and-slash adventures like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta.'
The game plays out through a mix of platform-centric levels spiced with combat areas. Combat plays out likein 4/4 time. Everything in the game is a slave to the rhythm, so every attack or obstacle you face is choreographed. Since everything must follow the beat, enemies very seldomly throw you for a loop, and you’re rewarded with extra damage for patiently tapping out your combos.
. Machinery huffs and puffs in time with the beat. Chai snaps his fingers as he’s on the run. Everything is seemingly connected to the chosen song at hand, even if only superficially. There are also several licensed songs that play throughout, used mostly during boss encounters. Unfortunately, while the licensed track list features a wide variety of artists and some standout tracks, they never feel tied to the narrative or even the combat. Players are introduced to the game with a madcap opening featuring The Black Keys’ “Lonely Boy,” but the song’s bluesy swagger doesn’t feel particularly relevant as an introduction to Chai or this futuristic world.
It’s a nice gimmick, having this roster of recognizable songs, but the tunes never truly coalesce with the action onscreen beyond the most rudimentary of rhythm segments. And while many of the songs are verifiable hits, the track list is decidedly dated, pulling from artists like Nine Inch Nails, The Joy Formidable, and Zwan. And while it’s easy to see what the team was going for, these songs never feel truly woven into the game.
truly shines is its impeccable art design. It’s taken cel shading to its zenith, with the presentation of a playable cartoon. While Chai is little more than another generic anime protagonist, it’s fun to watch him move and interact with the environments. Every color pops, every character expressive and beautifully rendered.
