With massive releases just on the horizon, it’s kind of crazy to think that a shadow-dropped game with a relatively brief 10-hour runtime might be the best thing we see all year. Hi-Fi RUSH's charm and style alone could carry it, but the passion behind the project, the love and care that was put into it, is something that hasn’t been felt or seen since some of the best games of 2022, and look how that turned out.

Even though it has flashes of games that came before, Hi-Fi Rush is a unique, masterful game that accomplishes everything it sets out to with plenty of style and charm to spare.
