Before January is out, however, Xbox hit the industry with a major surprise.
Hi-Fi RUSH is the latest first-party Xbox game, it’s available now, and it’s totally awesome.

This isn’t a full review, as I haven’t finished the game.
Hi-Fi RUSH is pure, uncomplicated video gaming joy.
There would be no third-party announcements or major surprises.

Hi-Fi RUSH proves that shadow dropping is still an effective marketing tactic.
For any game to be shadow dropped at all in recent years is extremely unusual.
For a first-party platform exclusive to be shadow dropped?

Vizzini would yell, if he was real and understood what video games were.
The icing on the cake?
I mean that literally, too.

This is a game that brazenly embraces that it’s a video game inside and out.
This isn’t a live service game, and there is no online multiplayer.
Hi-Fi RUSH’s campaign is surprisingly excellent, with plenty of reasons to replay levels.

Hi-Fi RUSH is the most approachable rhythm game I have ever played.
Don’t worry You don’t have to keep the rhythmat allin order to play Hi-Fi RUSH.
All of your attacks always land on the beat regardless of when you press the button.

If you want to play at higher levels, you’ll need those boosts to succeed.
Moment-to-moment, Hi-Fi RUSH’s gameplay is stellar.
This is a fantastic action game, rhythm brawler or not.

Hi-Fi RUSH is now available on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PCs, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Of course, it’s also available through Xbox and PC Game Pass.
Great job, Tango Gameworks.

I’m going to go back to playing the game, now.
Available now, Hi-Fi RUSH is, simply put, a beautiful and unbelievably fun video game.
