Hi-Fi Rush Is Now Available on the PS5

/

Bethesda Softworks and developer Tango Gameworks have released the action adventure rhythm game Hi-Fi Rush on the PlayStation 5, a title that was originally an Xbox exclusive and was shadow-dropped the moment it was announced at the start of 2023 during an Xbox broadcast presentation.

Here’s a quick description of the game from Bethesda.

Every strike, parry, dodge, jump and more syncs automatically to the music, turning every encounter in Hi-Fi RUSH into a musical mosh made even gnarlier when playing to the rhythm. Line up devastating Beat Hits, tag-team partner attacks and showstopping Special Moves in exhilarating rhythm-action combat. All you have to do is Feel. The. Beat.

Hi-Fi RUSH on PlayStation 5 also includes post-launch updates and modes like the Arcade Challenge! Update!. See how far (and how fast) you can go in BPM Rush, earn powers and climb for the high score in Power Up! Tower Up! or even strike a pose with Photo Mode. (Note: Players get access to BPM Rush and Power Up! Tower Up! after completing the main story campaign. Once unlocked, these features are available from the Hideout.)

Hi-Fi Rush was an easy Game of the Year contender for me as I gave it a perfect score when I reviewed it last year. Its unique combat and likable cast of characters still echo all through 2023, a year many considered to have an amazing list of great titles.

The release of Hi-Fi Rush is one of the four games Xbox has decided to give multi-platform releases this year in an attempt to reach more players for these titles. The other Xbox games are Pentiment (out now), Grounded (April 16, 2024), and Sea of Thieves (April 30).

Stellar Blade Review - A Challenging Adventure That Doesn’t Stick the Landing

Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.

In the grand scheme of things, Capcom has delivered a sequel to make Dragon’s Dogma fans happy and wishing for more, but this isn’t a massive upgrade. Rather, it’s a modernization of the overall concept as the highs and lows of the first game mirror the sequel. If you can weather the storm that is Dragon’s Dogma 2, you might come out as one of the players who consider this one of the best RPG experiences they’ve ever played, or simply the worst.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Review - The Remake Everyone Was Waiting For

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was a joy to play from start to finish and is a title every FFVII fan should play as they’ve done an exceptional job at bringing to life the world outside Midgar. There are a lot of changes to the original, but they’re changes I find myself welcoming, as this has now been one of my favorite JRPG experiences in recent years.
