Gone are the dark and gritty setpieces, replaced with a colourful anime art style that is perhaps the best use of cel shading I’ve ever seen, and gameplay that mixes Devil May Cry style character action combat with music rhythm elements more comparable to games like Crypt of the Necrodancer. So, what actually is Hi-Fi Rush? Developed by Tango Gameworks, previously best known for survival horror titles The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2, as well as handsign magic action title Ghostwire Tokyo, Hi-Fi Rush is a stylistic and tonal departure from the studio’s previous work. While Hi-Fi Rush isn’t without its issues, and things that I would change if I could, I cannot deny that I have fallen head over heels in love with this game. Having now completed the game’s core story mode on normal difficulty, played through the post game challenges to unlock the secret ending, then gone right back into replaying the levels to aim for a ranking of S on each stage in hard mode, I can say that my initial impression an hour into playing this game has held true.
