Hi-Fi Rush
Tango Gameworks’ rhythm/action hybrid was a surprise drop on Game Pass in January, and its infectious blend of Devil May Cry-style combat and rhythm game timing is a delight to behold. Even if you’re not rhythmically inclined, Hi-Fi Rush is more than accommodating for those of us with two left feet, so if the idea of playing a rhythm game sounds daunting to you, don’t let that scare you off from at least giving it a shot.
The game follows Chai, a rockstar wannabe who gets mistakenly outfitted with an mp3 player implant that makes him and everything around him move to the beat of his music. It’s silly, stylish, and genuinely funny on top of being a great action game.
A Good Match For: The musically inclined, character action game sickos.
Not A Good Match For: Those who get frustrated with rhythm games, even though the game is pretty forgiving.
Rough Average Playtime: 10.5 Hours
