Hi-Fi Rush is an excellent game

Hi-Fi rush is an excellent rhythm, platform, beat-em-up. It might be the only one of its kind. The hero, Chai, is stuck in the middle of an organisation which will add extra bits and bobs to your body, whether you want them to or not. After accident in surgery involving a music player he becomes infused with the beat and the target of the various quality control systems around the place. This leads to fights, upgrades, platform jumping and finding allies. All the acting is great, the graphics are super and the whole thing moves along with a good, if probably electronic, heart. The key to winning battles is to strike your opponent on the beat. Get it right, with different beat combos and you can wreak a lot of havoc. There’s a story to follow, we’re not very far through it but we are looking forward to finding out more about the dodgy doings in the factory.

You can buy it for most platforms, but if you have the Xbox Game Pass you can already download it and play. And you should, it really is great fun.
