We condensed the entire game into a two hour movie for your viewing experience, a massive thank you to Cloé for making this possible
shoutout cloé for condensing this video down so it could also get an S rank in clear time
What makes the game great is that it is beneficial to play to the beat, but it isn't absolutely required. I'm just glad games like this are still being made. I love the 2000s era of hack 'n slash games.
Thank you Cloé and RT !

Let it be known, at 28 years of age, Daniel "RTGame" Game, has at last acquired some rhythm
I am sadly already 29 and even older than you previously thought

Fun fact: Kale is immune to one of the strongest special attacks in the game, because it uses 808's cuteness. If you try it on him he says he's a dog person.

Also makes sense to why he funded Roquefort's billion dollar fursuit.
@@theholyketchup6445I’d fund it too
The punchline at the end that Chai doesn't even know how to play guitar is incredible. It makes perfect sense too, what with his bum arm at the start of the game.
It's the perfect joke to end the game on, it works perfectly with Chai's character that this would be the case and he would just never bring it up
Also really works with his "I don't need a guitar" line. Because he literally did all this without learning to use one.
I mean, it's not really that much of a punchline and more just a sweet moment, since it's established that Chai can't play guitar during his first time meeting Peppermint.
@@BorntoOrnn My man willing to take exprimental surgery if it means he can finally get that muscle memory
Fun fact with the first Zanzo mission: because it's possible to replay levels with everything you unlock later on, you're able to defeat the armored robot that is usually intended to be the level's scripted failure. Doing so results in everyone scolding Chai for going against the script, and CNMN tells the game to run it back and play the ending cutscene. Love it when games have little details like that to account for "NG+" playthroughs.

When i got to Korsica i was like "this is my favorite fight in the game, it's just a pure skill check... Oh no it's a pure skill check, Dan is FUCKED."
To be fair he did come out of the fight a lot better at parrying
@@toastedjam1470 AND he got the catch
1:56:50 I still find this one of the best subtle jokes, Korsica ran the SECURITY of the company, and her password was.....PASSWORD
To be fair, that would have been the last password I thought about, precisely because of her position. 😅
@@SystemBD that's not how dictionary attacks work though
Also the fact that USB sticks can potentially hold passwords with thousand of characters, and Korsica just does her passwords manually.
@@kephirbaron its funnier given there's Korsica PSAs telling everyone to regularly change their passwords and to make them strong
My favourite fact about this game is the fact that every noise 808 makes is from the famous Roland 808 drum machine. Every single one other than the meows.
Wait, so you're telling me the 808 Drum Machine can't meow? What's even the point of using one then?
Just another reason why cats are superior to the Roland 808 drum machine.
At a first glance, this cat is ticking all the boxes...

So you're saying that you dont have rhythm, but listen to what you're doing right there

i'm sorry it never dawned on me before seeing it in the video, the "anti human security" just being a flamethrower blocking the way through a passage, ensuring only robots (who are presumably fire proof) can walk through it, is so simple and genius while being so complicated and stupid. i love it.
It's even funnier because you could probably just dive through coz no way they are using liquid fuel and it isn't an uncontrolled flame
it really adds to that one note i think found after it asking to change all the complicated puzzles to simple switches that gets denied because “this is cooler”. they must have used the exact same thought process with the “anti human security”
@@DiminutiveJerryi mean doing so would likely light your clothing and hair on fire but it could work
@@Stampyboyzgo for a dip beforehand. You'll be cold and wet, but you can extend the time you can spend in fire before it catches
I love how the main team all has tea related names, while there seems to be a bit of a running joke about issues with coffee makers through the game
iirc, before heading towards Korsica's area there's a note from a coffee machine that's along the lines of "this is my revenge." Think the toaster from New Vegas that wants to destroy the world
@@DizzyScorpia that's actually hilarious
To add on what that other comment says, there's a note of an employee feeling upset for being demoted to work in the Lava level. As revenge, they reprogrammed all of the coffee machine's firmware to only use decaf. Their revenge lasts throughout the entire game, it's a very funny bit.
@@DizzyScorpiaSOON THE WORLD WILL BURN IN NUCLEAR FIRE
Macaroon and Korsica are types of tea?
As a FUN FACT! Chai didn't just Not Know how to play guitar, before the start of the game, he straight up COULDN'T! his right arm had a malformation in it that rendered it immobile, this can be seen when his medical scans are shown as he's getting shoved into the augmentation press!
Oh good, I thought because he was an idiot his solution for a broken arm was chopping it off.
“I put my stock in futures, but not yours, kid.” Is the most badass line that could possibly be in a boss fight with an accountant.
Fun fact, if you quit out in the middle of the later boss fights or moments in the story where it doesn't make sense for you to be in the in the safe house there's unique dialogue of the group criticizing you for breaking the pacing
I love that this is game is
Akechi (chai) and Futaba (peppermint) team up to kill sonic (Kale) because they have the same voice actors

No wonder Hi-Fi Rush got multiple awards and GOTY not just because it’s an amazing game but it because it was able to give the rhythmless man rhythm.
And that’s why RT is the Rhythm King
Rip to what Microsoft did to the team
Xbox: That is so cool!! Anyway we are closing the studio now
Also Xbox: Why our games get no awards 😭😭😭
Didn't Baldur's Gate get GOTY?
I thought he was the drift king?
@@ceph_and_seethe I thought Hi Fi got it for 2022?
Got to meet some of the cast and developers at Anime Expo last year and it was amazing. They all clearly loved working on the game and afterwards their handlers insisted “no autographs, we need to get a move on.” but half the voice actors slipped away and came back into the room to sign stuff for like 20 minutes. I got a Hi-Fi Rush poster signed by both Robbie and Erica (Chai and Peppermint) and got selfies with both.

THe fact that this wasnt nominated for GotY last year is a crime. It wouldnt have won, Baldurs Gate 3 won very much deserved, but man it would have been great to see it nominated
After watching this, I totally agree
+ commenting for the algorithm
It got 2 goty nomiations. It just lost those to BG3 and Starfield. Unless you are only counting the Game Awards. But that is a silly marketing scheme
@@erens208 Yeah, I was just thinking about the game awards. Glad to hear it got nominated for some. And kinda sad it unfairly lost to Starfield, but whatever. At least it got nominated^^
same but honestly last year had a LOT of really good games
It at least won best audio design at the Game Awards (don't know about others), so I take that as a win
Disappointing that Raniel Taniel couldn't get the samurai bot's parry attack down. Poetic Blade is hands-down my favorite rhythm.

Its criminal that Xbox shut down Tango Gameworks after making a masterpiece like this.
Such a CZcams move
Edit: Oh well, their loss is KRAFTONs gain
Tango (& the hi-fi rush ip) was actually acquired by Krafton, so thankfully they're not dead, though about half of the team had already found new jobs by the time Krafton revived the studio.
@@ambientNexusHopefully they’ll come back to work on any new HFR related content.
With how much passion this game has I would not put it past them to at least lend a hand in some way.
@@Slug_ssbm About half of the staff were re-hired by Krafton , They did offer everyone there jobs back but as the person above said the remaining half found new jobs in-between the closure and studio revival
I can safely say that we will get more HFR content since , Krafton put a lot of Emphasis on Hi fi Rush
Microsoft cannot be forgiven for all they destroyed, and will continue to destroy
It got picked up by the pubg publisher
1:34:30 glad to see the Vandelay company is keeping the requisite furries on their side, though its unusual he's in finance and not with the more technical aspects
Seen how expensive quality fursuits are? He better know how to handle his finances.
Lotta oddly rich furrys out there
Accounting is maths and law, therefore filled with furries
You could say he's... a *wolf of Wall Street.*
Ya know at least he's beating the IT allegations
Honestly Hi Fi Rush is a great rhythm fighter simply because it's still fun to play even if you miss the rhythm.
A lot of games make it feel like they're punishing you for failing to keep the rhythm where as Hi Fi Rush rewards you for keeping it.
so, this is crazy to say, but RT isn't bad at rhythm, he's just bad at memory. he's decent with the immediate stuff, like hits, but bad with the memory stuff, like combos and parries.
I think you're right, I have noticed if there is a sequence, I forget what's supposed to come next just as he does.
He's getting old. Dementia's kicking in
In Kale's defense, his mom named him Kale. I'd hold a grudge and become a villain too
he could just change his name tho 😭
I met a real guy named kale and he was chill
My favorite description of this game's robots has to be "these guys are sapient solely so they do their job worse"
44:58 it’s called a jojo reference dad
one day he will watch jojo
I love JoJo, it's one of my most treasured manga/anime, but Dan is waaay too normal to get into that rabbit hole. He might get a laugh out of some of the memes out of context, but you're not gonna get him to get to the point where he just knows the appeal of it or why stories like Steel Ball Run or Diamond is Unbreakable are so beloved.
@@leithaziz2716 eh, I would call those 2 the more "normal" ones. It's the bizzarness of parts 2 and 3 he might struggle with.
@@leithaziz2716 He probably won’t get into it or even know it exists, but I would kill to see his reactions. Him basically being a fish out of water lol
@@leithaziz2716 steel ball run is peak manga, i believe he should start there because of the whole universe reset thing
Who knew that all RT needed to get a Rhythm is for it to revolve around violence
1:12:40 I love how despite him literally shielding her from the explosion, Korsica got life threatening injuries and Chai is just perfectly fine. I mean the guy got blasted through like 20 consecutive walls and was in the blender of an explosion when he destroyed the platform breaks and survived both off those without a scratch so I guess he is just extremely sturdy.
All he needs is energy drinks
When I wrote this I hadn't even seen the part where Chai literally fired himself out of a cannon.
Chai is secretly immortal
I love that RT had Chai's vibe locked in so quickly that even at just the first boss, he knew the Cool Line was *too cool for Chai*.
He has no rhythm, yet he must stream.
dAMn, that reference is truly despicable.
1:22:14 I love how Korsica's like "don't worry peppermint, you being related to Kale doesn't change how we feel about you❤" as if she was a rebel from the start even though she was literally Kale's 3rd in command like 5 minutes ago 😂
Tbf, attempted murder typivally sours one's opinion of people rather quickly XD
It was a little corny, but eh it was still a cute scene
I mean, Korsica’s heel-face turn is pretty heavily foreshadowed. She’s consistently shown to be the last to know anything, and her treatment compared to the other Vandelay lieutenants is very different. Optional notes that you can find in particular reveal that she’s frequently left out of important conference calls and the like, despite being the head of security! And then the way that she actually shows some mercy towards Chai (ie not immediately going to deathmatch mode) and takes the initiative to research the Spectra program on her own shows that her values have a fundamental misalignment with the rest of the higher-ups. Perhaps most interestingly, she’s the only one to not be mostly metal. Everyone else is more metal than flesh - Korsica has *no* robotic parts whatsoever up until Peppermint gives her the ones that save her life after the encounter with Kale. Which, that in and of itself is a great illustration of the difference in attitudes towards robotics and their purpose held by Kale and Peppermint! Korsica’s turn makes her a great touchstone for some of the more subtle throughlines in the game.
…Er, I got a bit off-topic there, but the tl;dr is that while Korsica did work for Kale, she was hardly really *in* on anything. Calling her third-in-command isn’t really accurate - she’s decidedly at the bottom of the top, and her holding one of the override drives is more on a technicality than anything.
Given she admits to idolizing him and the company before, he probably thought he could manipulate her into obeying him. And he was right, it seems, at least until Chai and co. threw a wrench into his plans.
Ok sorry I haven't actually played the game, just from watching the video I thought it was kinda funny @nighttyger3397
You're fine dude! I definitely recommend you give it a try though, as someone who has been a gamer for over 25 years, I can confidently say HiFi-Rush is one of the greatest games to come out in recent memory, and one of the best games I've ever played. It deserves to be experienced@@lassoroot

Idk what I was in for when I got this game, I just downloaded because,
A) It was free on game pass
B) Its a rhythm game that doesn't punish you for being ass at it
C) I thought the tall scottish girl boss with the red hair was cute (leave me alone on that one)
By the end it was the best decision I could've possibly made, 10/10 game.
To be fair, EVERYONE likes Korsica.
Korsica is very cute
don't feel bad, all of r/hifiRush is down bad for Korsica
don't worry, you're amongst friends
Honestly I think peppermint is really cute lol
Its funny that Kale calls out Korsica for not being good at her job- when she is the most compentant member of the board- she is the only one that does security properly so you can't just steal access to vital documents for spectra from her, all her stuff you have to bypass is practical and straightforward, with all the overengineered and rule of cool elements of security being things the rest of the group forced through- like the giant beams of data and other stuff chai abuses to get to her office etc.
Every other executive does things that are ultimately self defeating for the company- Rekka destroys defects, which while bad for Chai, also is bad policy in general even when it doesn't include murder- its basically just covering up potentially faulty product, with no sign of any actual examination for why it was faulty or deeper examination of the products in general- side note, Robots like O-5KAR and L-UC1LL3 are the older models, the more humanoid robots are the newer ones built after Kale took over, with such quirks as eating human food for fuel, the capacity and desire to shirk duties or push them off to the older models etc. Also with the reveal of what Spectra was actually for the fact that every modern robot is weaponized, when they have official non military uses says alot about the poor design priorities. Continueing
Zanzo micromanaged R&D, wasted funds on personal petty projects and modifications to existing ones, which included changes that made them less effective (the laser turrets you parry don't blow up because you overload them or anything, Zanzo programed them to explode in embarrassment if they fail to kill their target). And in general was terrible as a boss.
Mimosa made everything she could about her, or Kale and spent so much of marketing on pointless luxuries- notes you find explain that for every concert she puts on she "requires" a specific number of aquariums with a very specific variety of tropical fish, just for her to walk past on the way to the stage, and a private jet fully stocked and waiting for her, even when the event is at the Vandalay campus and thus she wouldn't be going anywhere.
Roquefort keeps going on about the expenses and savings, and how Spectra has to be used or they are just leaving money on the table- but doesn't stop any of the rediculous spending the rest of the board does, or the poor buisness decisions like the stuff with the robots above, with the notable exception of giving Zanzo a funding limit, so the ONE time he did his job right, it let someone beat up a board member- and this while Vandalay is making so much money that they have a scrooge Mc Duck level money bin of gold.
And Kale used technology (he is clearly a great engineer) to take over the company but lacks any of the skills needed to actually RUN the company, and instead resorts to the real purpose of Spectra, even when he has used his mind control tech to get compentent people working for him. He also gets points off for HIREING all of these people.
Counterpoint: Her secret security password is Password.
@@Modie Honestly, that's the last password I would have placed so she was clever (or not too techsavvy). Too bad she was matched against someone even DUMBER (Chai).

The best part of this game is that even people more rhythm challenged can play it with its amazing accessibility settings.

its sooooo coooolll!
It doesn't just end at the game world either! Every. Single. Cutscene. is timed to the beat. Even the animated ones! Even when the characters are doing non-beat things like just talking, you'll notice things like the swaying of hair being timed to the beat.

I love the limited animation in this game. It’s so charming.
Okay, this is a good start.
Now he needs to play No Straight Roads
Probably one of the most surprisingly accessible rhythm games I've played, honestly. I'm not very good at rhythm games either, but I was able to play Hi-Fi Rush on hard and still get pretty good scores. Very good time.
All those years of sight-reading and rhythm exercises came flooding back watching the parrying sections lmfao
The more high-profile streamers play this game, the stronger I become. My life force is directly linked to Hi-Fi Rush hype.
1:49:04 sorryyyyyy guys lmao
It was skibidi, CNMN, it was...
You should be
1:33:12 usually I’m really fond of puns and don’t get the stigma around them but that one actually hurt
Last time I saw someone beat someone else with an electric guitar was in this little old anime that not a lot of people have heard of called FLCL
Yup just what I thought! “Those eyebrows….”❤
45:18 oh thats a jojo pose
We are getting closer and closer to Daniel playing Devil May Cry
When the title starts with "I Have No Rhythm", you know it's gonna be good!
Ah my favorite name for a character “tea”
RT not getting the Jojo references with Zanzo was way too enjoyable to watch, he was so perplexed lol
0:06 What's he saying there?!?!
i think hes saying ‘it’s the man with no rhythm’
@@thatonethingfromspoon3I think it’s “he’s a man with no rhythm”
@@RandomnesssENo, it’s more of a “isawanwitwohrithum”
"ishamanwit'norhythm, ishamanwit'norhythm! he can't play one o' these games!"
"istamawitfnorytm" (specifically rytm not rhythm)
fell asleep to the vod, woke up in time for the highlights. radical!
Didn't think RT would play peak fiction
going through a horrible day rn ty for uploading😭😭
Hope things improve!
I hope things get worse
shoutout to the PUBG publishers for buying Tango Gameworks and offering to the team all their original positions back, it was an absolute tragedy when Bethesda just decided to off this studio last year
So Fun fact, all of the members of your team (Excluding 808) are named after a type of tea, and yes Macaron is a Black tea just to add that extra layer of humour
I don't know if you know about this. But the running gag about the decaf coffee is actually explained in a log entry in the zanzo levels. Where a disgruntled coffee maintaince bot decideds to get back at everyone by making all coffee decaf after being sent into the volcanic area to fix the machines with a firmware update.
That just one of the many tiny details about this game that I love. It was amazing to see you play this marvel of a game. Truely one of the best. So good in fact it gave you some rhythm. Congrats Dan. Love your content as always and look forward to the next one. But remember:
You are a ROCKSTAR!
3:25 I cannot describe the amount of times this has happened to me
At 18:52 RT points out how Chai says what sounds like "Tubular!" This is indeed what he said, the reason for which is because the item shown on screen is a vaccum tube used in tubular amplifiers, which is a more expensive amplifier that produces a warmer tone. They're quite interesting so if you're bored perhaps you could have a look into them!
This gives me hope that RT will one day discover No Straight Roads, which is a similar, beautiful game that fell hard under the radar.
