Well… this is awkward now isn’t it
Screw you, Xbox
RIP
Wait what happened?
Yes it is. Goes to show even a Trillion dollar company will do this if it comes to it.
@@mateusminikovski8976 Microsoft shut down Tango Gaming so no more Hifi Rush or Evil Within.
@@mateusminikovski8976 Microsoft closed the dev studio
Ironically, the game that isn’t trying to be realistic at all made me feel the most like i was playing a movie
it was seriously like playing a sunday morning cartoon and i loved it
It made me so happy when so many games are leaning into realistic graphics and art to the detriment of performance.
but the animation and polishing is excellent, better than a hyper-realistic game
The music choices to go with those graphics is also just amazing and deserves so much praise as well. Korsica's boss song is my absolute favorite out of all of them.
It is like playing an anime. A great one with better gameplay than most gameplay out there.
this game was such a fun ride from start to end
20/10
10 extra credit points cuz Korsica
legit such a good ride from start to finish
korsica + video game, what a deal!
Nah forget simp
10 extra points for 808
nah forget about 808, Extra points for cleaner bot saying karma
@@kel_ski nah i see what you did there😭
hi-fi rush is basically what happens when you put Ratchet and Clank, Sunset Overdrive and Sly Cooper into a Blender while playing music after your favorite sunday cartoon
Or dial up No Straight Roads with a Jetix cartoon.
perfect analogy
Sunset overdrive really deserved a sequel
Bro forgot Devil May Cry :(
@@ernestrylesFr
Let’s go, bro I loved this game so much after watching the first scene. The style, gameplay,and visual is so BEAUTIFUL, and not to mention Korsica🥵😩😳
the intro had me sold. such a fun game to have in 2023. developers forget that games don’t always need to be super serious experiences. just let me beat up giant robots with a scrap guitar with some banging music
korsica our scottish mommy 🥵
+Visually beautiful
+Original, fun gameplay
+Korsica
+Smooth transitions to cutscenes
+Funny dialogue
+Korsica
+Unique and memorable characters
Also +Korsica
also +peppermint
but not to mention
++Korsica
+Zanzo, the walking jojo reference. Also, unlike the others, he isn't dead at the end. Just defunded.
Knowing how to play piano and playing every Devil May cry game really helped me. Currently in Rhythm master and I'm probably gonna 100% this game, which I haven't done since Black Ops 2.
Korsica and Rouqefort were my favorite boss fights, and they both have the best music imo.
I also apologize for flexing my piano skills, I don't really get the opportunity to very often.
@@nothing6431 its fine bro, i also like the two bosses
you play piano??? absolute chad dude. also i agree, Korsicas boss music was SO damn good
Are we the same person? I was playing piano while watching this video, and having my black ops 2 zombies game paused in the background xDDD
Loved the two bosses too, Korsica kicked my ass, I think I lost 3 or 4 times to her, parry is very difficult to me even though I was playing Sekiro (Another Rythm game with parrys) before coming to Hi Fi Rush, she is such a cool character
Korsica is the only reason this game is beyond a mere 10/10 to becoming a 100/10 for me.
must protect
@@kel_ski Yes, we know you’re down bad
nah. Zanzo is a walking Jojo's Reference. you cant beat that.
why? why people are so down bad for her?
@@makepr because she's attractive... Why else would -they- WE be down bad for someone?
Also, her Scottish accent makes her even more likeable
I'm just eating up all the good vibes whenever people talk about this game. It's just so...pure, and good. It feels nostalgic, but not pandering. It can be cool without taking itself too seriously. It knows how to have fun while keeping itself strictly on the tasteful side of cringy. It's perfection.
A [game] among countless [services]
it’s amazing how well crafted the game is. could’ve EASILY been a cringe fest, but it handles itself so well. 10/10 for me
@@furiousdestroyah9999 that has to be the best way I've ever heard it put
I really like these music fused combat games coming out. Sunsent Overdrive with its soundtrack that gets louder the more "style" you have, Hellsinger that powers up your attacks by shooting to the beat of metal music, Brutal Legend where you can melt enemies faces with guitar shredding. I really like this genre.
i now need to check out all of these games
i’m still bummed i missed out on sunset overdrive! it looks like loads of fun
@@kel_ski it is i missed out on it when it first came out cause I didn't have an Xbox one and when I did get one I forgot about it
Jet Set Radio was another fun game similar to this style.
Also shout out to No Straight Roads for being similar in idea, except the main characters don't exactly attack or move on beat
@@kel_ski given you loved Hi Fi Rush there's a high chance you'll at least like Sunset Overdrive.
I love both myself.
I was on the fence about it bc i never played a beat em up before. I bought it after seeing the first Zanzo cutscene, then had my heart stolen by Korsica. 10/10 game
zanzo is another favorite of mine. i’m a big fan of his voice actor
The game just feels like a cartoon from Jetix/Disney XD in a videogame form, in the best way possible. It's kinda nostalgic to see all the tropes from the cartoons of my childhood come together in a game. And yeah, the gameplay is also so good.
the Disney XD comparison is goated
4:56 I love that your goal here was literally just not dying. I breath a sign of relief when I get the enemy in that phase because its a guaranteed kill for me (at least for most enemies)
I suggest going to the training room, setting one of these guys up with ai on and just endlessly practice these. It helps a fuck ton.
that damn bird had me on my last legs 😭
true, but there was1specific one, god I hated doing the samira one
Man, thank you for ending the video with THE MOST DOPAMINE BOOSTER song in the game... even if it's the 'streamer version'. Very nice touch.
Thats what I did with the samurai robots. Now I haven't messed that bit up once lol
The game really reminds me of Sunset Overdrive with the fast action, background music, the comic book styles and the humor too
good comparison
@@kel_skiFr
You forgot to mention the kickass liscenced tracks, like the Prodigy, and Nine Inch Nails; those were sick!
oh yes! they go hard for sure. i didn’t play with them on because “streamer mode” things, but the song selection is solid
This is an early contender for Game of The Year for me. As a guy who loves rock music and plays guitar, this game was a must. The colorful world, awesome action, and like-able characters (plus of course, Korsica) make this game an instant classic. One thing that would’ve made this game even better would be if you can briefly play as each of your teammates in parts of the game. Would’ve neat to shoot enemies with Peppermint, dual wield batons with Korsica, or smash through foes with Macaron.
@@kevinhung1575 I'd recommend checking out No Straight Roads for a game in a similar vein that came out a few years earlier, and Brütal Legend for the biggest video game love letter to Rock and Metal this side of existence.
the invaders must die level will be remembered for years
but what about Korsica
Idk why but the delivery of the earth silently blowing up at 0:18 is such comedy gold
Hifi rush is honestly one of a few games that just feels complete.
yes! such a rare sight in 2023
I still can't believe that the developers went from Horror straight to a musical rhythm game.
insane video like always
thank you thank you 🤝

the editing just matches the vibe of this game so well😭
glad you enjoyed 😎
That’s it Kelski. You’ve sold me on this game.
YESSS, im glad i convinced you! such a good game
Love how this game gives be the vibe of Jet Set Radio while giving me the style and humor like Borderland
holy crap i forgot about Jet Set Radio, i loved that game on the OG xbox
Rekka and Korsica was my favorite fights ngl, especially korsica for her unique parry game
This game is just a master piece from the devs who made Evil Within
Hi-Fi Rush is seriously a rush of pure adrenaline and fun, even after finishing the game, it still extremly fun
i saw the gameplay trailer thing on steam, and i put it on my wishlist, i wanna play it, i love the illustration
the art an animation is outstanding! the quality is there throughout the entire game. there is plenty i haven’t shown in this video :^)
I played on very hard mode and loved this game very much a fun filled game with new type of gameplay for me as it was my first rhythm game ❤️😍
it was my first too! such a good experience
That short Bill and Ted reference with the life piece pickup going "Excellent!!" and short guitar riff, just barely caught it when that went by. Just a wonderful mini reference.
Months later, and Hi-Fi Rush was indeed a GOTY Runner Up and won Best Soundtrack on multiple outlets.
Also Handsome Kale is voiced by Sonic the Hedgehog. If you didn't hear it before, you will never unhear it again.
Awesome review, and I really enjoyed your comedic style and pacing here! Nice work. I'm having a very hard time remembering the last time I straight-up loved a game as much as this one; like you said, it reminded me just how *fun* games can be, and I'd forgotten how that felt. Sure, certain open-world games have given me a sense of awe and wonder (see: Elden Ring), but nothing has gotten its hooks into me just by being so goddamn *fun to play* like Hi-Fi Rush. The icing on the cake is that since everything is on-beat it's incredibly accessible, so once you get the timing down for things like stringing a Parry Counter slam into a magnet grab into an aerial combo, you feel like a total badass while the actual mechanical requirements are much more forgiving than, say, something like DMC5 since the windows for inputting commands are sometimes two or three beats long (or at least it feels that way). One last thing I'll say is that I'm gobsmacked by how good the original music is, compared to the licensed tracks. I legitimately have trouble for some levels deciding if I'd rather listen to the licensed music or the original songs for a given boss fight/stage. Apologies for the mini-essay, I just love the hell out of this game. Cheers!
don’t apologize for the essay, i love insightful comments like this! yeah i agree, too many games focus on the pretty graphics and cutscenes, but forget that its a GAME, and not a movie. this game is just such a pure joy to play, and is solid from start to finish. i like open world games and all, but i’d always rather play and tight and condensed, polished game than a massive, empty, buggy one.
thanks for watching and for the nice words!
never before has a youtuber make me wake up on time, good video man
my man punctual to the video, MASSIVE W’s and respect 🤝🤝🤝
i’m glad it was worth it my man
One thing I like so much about it is 808 and her sounds, they're all samples from the 808 drum machine, and I love this nod to one of the devices that shaped hip hop and the music since the 80's
Nice that you used "intruder" as the closing music bc of how good it sounds. That level overall is great.
I would also recommend the game as it is extremely satisfying to play.
hands down my favorite original track from the game
Bro I remember subbing like a couple months ago when you had like 1.2k. Your growth is insane keep up the good work my guy!
Also, You just convinced me to buy the game.
i hope you have fun with the game!!! and yeah man, the growth has been absolutely insane. i’m trying not to get too overwhelmed lol
its still crazy to me that you dont have 100k subs yet, like half your videos have way more than 100k views people gotta remember to hit that sub button
i probably should remind people in the video itself, butttt i just figured people would do it if they wanted to :)
I haven't even experienced the game myself and just by watching others play it I can comfortably say that it was almost an actual masterpiece of a game. I feel like the lack of a more sophisticated story as well as the short gameplay time kind of held it back a little bit, but that's not something that can't be fixed with a few dlcs or something I suppose.
I also love how literally everybody simps for Korsica, though I myself am probably literally the only Chai simp in existence 😆.
1:37 Like look at that cutie, as a wise and considerably horny woman by the name of [Shenpai] once said, "I just wanna put him in a blender and drink him up" XDD
LMAOOO i love shenpai, gg creator. i think the story is a perfect length. not trying to be too complicated and the game doesn’t over stay it’s welcome and get stale. it’s a good sweet spot
@@kel_ski That's fair I suppose. I dunno, I feel like even double the lenght still wouldn't be enough for me :P
Dont worry you arent alone with liking chai. Some people r out there calling him babygirl (i am people)
@@Appl3soupp Haha. He's definitely a CNMN roll. I'm just sad there's not more of him :/.
We need DLCs asap (or perhaps a show could work, as some people have already suggested) 🤗
you are not the only chai simp. he is a girlfailure and i adore him so much
This game reminded me of no straight roads but this game blew my expectations away tenfold. It was so fun and so good it is easily the best game I've played in a long, long time. I desperately want more of this it's almost silly lol I am obsessed.
Best editing you’ve done in any video. Keep it up
thank you! i feel like every video i’m learning new techniques :)
Out of every game released this year this one still remains the best for me by far, i thought hogwarts legacy looked okay, atomic heart looks repetitive, pizza tower is solid but feels less out there compared to this game. Just a great game in general, and im glad its linear, im so tired of the open world formula sometimes.
It’s honestly not even that linear, sure the path to progress is very often just one pathway however there’s several times you can take a side route to discover hidden stuff. I’m 2 playthroughs done and still haven’t gotten everything yet because I keep missing pathways.
“Open worlds” are honestly something I hate having in so many damn games, like they make so many games a damn chore to get through because I don’t have the attention span to follow a set quest line without getting sidetracked, and then getting confused when encountering a previous quest line again.
i honestly miss more hand crafted, more linear experiences compared to “generic AAA empty open world #246”
i’d rather have a tight, compact, fantastic experience than a mediocre dragged out one
well if someone who sees this that bought and played atomic heart plz tell me how it is, it looked really neat
@@d4s0n282 I'm around half the story and it's really creative and fun, but also really stupid, duke nukem level. it has good cutscenes and also the worst cutscened ever directed, it's unreal.
I'm playing max difficulty from the start and the tutorial really messed me up, but once you gear up it's awesome and the bossfights are great, it's a fast fps game with tons of different things to do and a lot of puzzles.
I can recommend it, but I can say it's a long game if you want to do everything and find all the lore
@@AndrewTheUltraBoss99 me who litterally bought and finished the game like week ago lmao
it was crazy seeing a LyndonFPS clip here lol Oh how I miss the H1Z1 days! Keep up the amazing work Kels you know I love you bb!
I didn't miss a single bot conversation either haha. They all have unique dialogue if you hit them too, so much attention to detail in this game. Not to mention they break the fourth wall when your playing the game for the second time.
This game was so good I just HAD to keep playing. I told myself I'd stop after beating the story but it was so fun...i got the 100% the other day after playing it basically every day
i wish i had time to go back and get all the collectibles 🥲 the alternative outfits go hard
B-but, Hi-fi Rush is my favourite game.
No but seriously though, it‘s at least in my top 10 games of all time. Most of my favourite games win me over in the first few hours. This one won me over in the first cutscene and it somehow got even better from there.
it really is amazing how the game never slows down on pace or quality really. very well crafted
I just finished this game yesterday and OMG I loved it...and Korsica🥰🥰
The main reason for my buying of the game was 808, if the cat wasn't in there I probably would have never touched it since I'm not a huge rhythm game fan. But once I started playing, I was hooked, and the originality of the bosses is amazing to me, Rekka is probably my favorite boss character-wise other than Korsica. And then there's the costumes once you've beat the game, and as a cat-lover you can probably guess which of Peppermint's outfits is my favorite.
Idk about it pal, the game looks good but I have never been a very hack and slash player myself... O wait there's a Korsica in there, forget it I'm buying this game ASAP, more like right now
good man 🤝👑
The game is really good it would be such a shame if the studio behind was shutdown while they were trying to pitch a sequel
Pain... so much pain
@@kel_skiliterally one of the best games of 2023, tangos best game, sold well and their reward is loosing their fucking studio
Uoh nice. Also started it recently and nice video like always ❤
thank you for taking the time to watch 🤝👑
The sooongs! Getting inside the building with "Invaders Must Die" is just a big neuron activation
yes! i forgot to mention that since i had to play on streamer mode, but that song is such a banger
Played the game because it's just awesome, stayed for Korsica.
This was also such a banger stream.
i remember seeing you there 🤝🤝 thank you for supporting!
HiFi Rush affected me so much, that I try to find the best way to make a video about this masterpiece for 3 months now 💀 so much to say and share, but in other side so hard to put it in this prefect words.. For now this is my favourite video about HiFi, watched today propably for the 5th time, amazing job man❤
Very impressive video. Editing is top notch and yes Hi-Fi Rush is my game of the year 2023 (for now). Keep at it you’ll definitely go far with your editing skills and style. Cheers ❤
thank you for the kind words! cheers!
Bro i honestly love this game its hella fun, im also shit at rhythm games, and bro I completely get it with Korsica, she was fine af.
my man 🤝 he understands
Keep up the work!
will do 🤝🤝
"Dude what is this enemy?!" is a perfectly normal reaction to that bird
this game reminded me of why i love gaming. the sheer passion and love expressed in this game just blew me away. also, super weak point cuz i play guitar irl so i really empathized with Chai and his rockstar fantasies lol.
This game is so fun, and yes Korsica is in it.
You can tell this is going to be a comfort game, for ALOT of people, myself included. The game is a work of art.
definitely. i’ve already gone back and played some more, even after beating it. it’s just so much fun
The Kale fight was just amazing. The fact the perfect drug plays during it is the cherry on top.
You sir have gotten yourself a new sub
5:45 wait until you see the wending machine in Atomic Heart
oh… oh no…
My game of the year game right here, super happy with all the praise people are giving it, also Korsica 🤯
i hadnt played video games in actual years until we got an xbox w game pass on it recently. tried getting back into it and hi fi rush was the third game (i think) i ever played on it. genuinely the most fun ive had in ages i cannot stop singiing its praises and the soundtrack is to die for. definatley one of my favourites of all time easy 10/10
So nice of the devs to add a mini game to our Korsica dating sim.
💀💀
an actually incredibly good game being... interviewed? whatever, this video format. hi-fi rush has been my favorite game from start to end
yeah my video formats are a bit mixed lol, not entirely sure how to classify them
Another W from the King!
i have to make sure it matches my W viewers expectations 👑
2 years in a row so far the year has started with a banger first it was Hi-fi: Rush then we got Hell Divers 2 what the heck is going on.
Favorite song from this game is QA 1MIL Theme both with or without streamer mode
The game is good but is sad how chai dont hook up whit Korsika at the end afther all they have beam true, insted the writers for some reason try to hook her up whit other female companion Peppermint, that fell really rush like the end of Korra.
Bruh xbox done fucked them self by shutting down the studio 😢
Glad someone else thought of sly Cooper. The bosses in particular felt so similar.
sly cooper is one of my favorite franchises. such good childhood memories with 3
Idk why but 1:19 really caught me off guard LMAO. Great video.
EVERDAY IM SHUFFLIN
Lets not forget that discount Handsome Jack is voiced by Roger Craig Smith. Literally Sonic the Hedgehog.
It isn't even one minute into this and I'm fucking dying 😂 stellar job on this, I love it almost as much as I love the game (and Korsica)
And 8:48 Jesus Christ 😂
7:34 I understand this waaay to late, its the "The Wolf of Wall Street"
Coming back after watching this vid and then taking a couple of months to play and finish the game and, man am I glad I played it. It was phenomenal. Haven’t done the post game extra stuff but the main game was a blast, very glad Kelski recommended the game
thanks for coming back to the vid 🙏 this game is so so slept on haha
3:17 Always nice to see Maxwell
Broooo i knew kale reminded me of someone. Mans do look like handsome jacks lost brother
Now I wholly recommend you review BULLETS PER MINUTE!!!
Lmfao editing on point as always bro.
it’s so much fun, i live to make edits. thanks my man
This game was the action game I've been waiting for. Not enough action games have air combos in them anymore so it's nice to see one have them again outside of DMC and Bayonetta. Hopefully, Hi-Fi Rush paves the way for more air combos in action games. Also Korsica.
Zanzo is such a damn vibe, frfr. I also like the realistic character growth from all of the main characters, chai and peppermint, specifically, with korsica as an honorable mention. Chai is constantly put in his place when he gets too cocky and arrogant, like the world is telling him to chillax a bit, you know? It's what makes these characters so endearing, especially chai. New victim for my husbando pile, he's placed next to Zoro from one piece.
he’s also voiced by one of my favorite voice actors too! i love zanzo
It's basically dmc anime edition with more emphasis on guitars set in a early 2000s cartoon story lol. I love it.
also, glad I was there to watch it on livestream :>
double support? W
Playing through the game on Rhythm Master difficulty was fucking insane and i love every minute of it
Kinda reminds me of a more action packed Rythm Heaven Fever, which is also a phenomenal game.
i’ll have to check it out 👀
No Straight Roads might also be interesting to check out. Came out a few years ago and it's a respectable debut title by its dev studio, amidst its flaws and shortcomings.
A clear lot of love and effort by both devs and fans has gone into it, and is an absolute celebration of music.
You get extra dialogue from the robots if you smack ‘em
4:20 I was so close to turning off the game in that mission where you reset the nodes. One of the QTEs is particularly awful and I must’ve done it about 20 times.
Other than that, fantastic game, can’t wait to finish it.
"I don't think ive seen a robot this horny bro."
*laughs in atomic heart*
i finally found out about this 💀
Somehow this is the first video to compare Kale with Handsome Jack. That just validated everything you’ve said tenfold
Plus giving one of the best reasons to like this game as just ‘Korsica’ is based
it was immediately the first thing i thought when i saw him lol
It is such a good game yo! and the art styles for this game does looks cool! since the art styles for this game does look like you're playing a fun 2000s cartoon game.
You every play Samurai Warriors 5?
That is my favorite game, visually.
It looks so goddamn beautiful!
Little late but THIS GAME made me consider getting an Xbox no other game on that system has ever tempted me that much and I might actually get the chance to play it relatively soon if Game Pass does in fact make it's way to other consoles
It’s going to be hard to beat this game this year and I’ll be pissed if it doesn’t even get nominated for Game of the Year
Im so glad the game is getting attention
Ive never been a big fan of anime-ish or beat games, but this is definitely an exception
It needs all the love it can get with all the passion that went into it
You my sir jusy gained a sub for being a chad and explaining why I love this game so much
thank you KING 👑
@@kel_ski thank you for spreading the gospel of HFR 🫡
man, the bast part is when you say ''Korsica''. pure dopamine rush here
I share the hatred for that dammed bird, it reached a point where It instead taught me how to parry the initial Shockwave enemies send out to combo you
I wish to play it but the max I was able to pay is $20 game after saving for 6 months, hope one day I'd be able to play it.
one thing that i loved about the game was
it lauched without any marketing
i wish that more games did that
like no marketing for a game that will not release in years
a game that lauches when its complete and not seems unfinished or have a lot of dlcs
