As we said, Hi-Fi Rush is not only an excellent action game, it has a more than entertaining science fiction story, endearing characters like Chai, his robot cat 808 or Peppermintand a graphic section that is most characteristic for its cell shading visual style that also plays with 3D models and one of the best animation works so far this year.
It remains to be seen what Tango Gameworks’ next project will be, but it is clear that Hi-Fi Rush has become a complete success for the Japanese team and it may become a franchise for the coming years. Don’t miss Hi-Fi Rush on Xbox Game Pass along with the new games on the service for the month of August.
