Hi-Fi RUSH
4.8/5
White hot
A wannabe rock star with a music player in his chest fights a robot corporation to the beat. Joyful and funny.
Help on offer
Several difficulty levels and a rhythm assist.
What you do
Attack on the beat for bonus damage; the whole world, from platforms to enemies, moves with the music.
Who it suits
Anyone, including people who think hard action is not for them. The easiest way into this list.
First contact
Chai gets a music player fused into his chest and suddenly the world pulses. Fights feel like dancing.
The grind
Comic-book cut-scenes, great boss fights and a terrific soundtrack. It is genuinely funny.
When to cool down
Tracks are levels; stop at the end of one.
