Devil May Cry Player Reacts to Hi-Fi Rush! (IT'S AMAZING!) | Hi-Fi Rush Playthrough Part 1

Out of absolutely nowhere, Xbox dropped Hi-Fi Rush, a game that feels like it was made just for me!
My first playthrough is on hard mode and I have been blown away so far! It's a refreshing take on the character action genre with it's rhythm-based combat style (especially after playing Bayonetta for the past 4 months). Have you played Hi-Fi Rush yet? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments :)

Feel the beat as wannabe rockstar Chai and his ragtag team fight against an evil megacorp with raucous rhythm combat! From Tango Gameworks comes Hi-Fi RUSH, an all-new action game where the world syncs to the music.
Hi-Fi Rush features Chai, a "future rock star," and a group of friends as they go up against a corporation. To complete each of its divisions, which are each based on a particular musical style, Chai engages in a boss battles. Chai's in-game actions in this game coincide with the music.

Beat this game yesterday. I cannot stress how fantastic it was. Xbox got itself a contender for a change. Everyone has to try this one

[@applehazeva2739]

If this isnt AA Game of the year, I'll dont know what is

[@redwallfan123]

This is one of those games that NEED dlc and sequels

[@Joe-y]

@@redwallfan123 I’d say yes to a sequel but not dlc. This game is a finished product that has lots of post-game content

[@redwallfan123]

@Jojo fair point. Still, this is totally deserving of a sequel. And I do love a certain cameo has in this game. And if you played their previous work, you know who I mean

[@Joe-y]

@@redwallfan123 I was just freaking out over the Xenogears reference

[@thembill8246]

I know I'm late to the party, but chai is voiced by Robbie Daymond. Among many, many other voice credits, including being a regular on critical role, he was the voice of Zhao in Yakuza: like a dragon. I love this game. Having Hideki Kamiya as EP makes a world of sense. This is bayonetta as a rhythm game. 11/10, want more.

[@ShatteredGlass916]

That introduction is already miles better than Forspoken's introductions lmao

[@foodfoodfood8898]

This is such an interesting Let's Play to watch after beating the game because it looks like someone skilled enough to have already beaten the game at least once but they're still surprised by the story/mechanics/bossfights.

[@aoihitori]

Chai cosplay sounds a great idea. And Chai might be over confident cocky but he is not annoying like any other character like that. He is likeable.

[@ambutt6843]

He’s annoying, just not to the player lol

[@aoihitori]

@@ambutt6843 well atleast he had a goal and he had character development even though the game portrayed it as a comedy. Spoiler He even started playing guitar.

[@DeadEye364]

This game is just oozing with character and charm and Im lovin it.

[@neroheart34]

I'm probably late to say this, but against QA-1MIL, When you strike the hand, it will be stunned, you can interact with it and you get a QTE, successfully doing it will cause the hand to hit the side of the bot's head, but only half, when both halfs are cracked, the head is exposed and it says "Weak point" On it, it made me laugh hard after seeing it.

[@Nickel0101]

not seeing him do that hurt me physically

[@jimbocraggins]

i legit thought the game meant for me to do that and i got confused why theres an achievement for it

[@sosoma32]

If they made a movie, i’d legitimately be exciting to watch it.

[@applehazeva2739]

Same. But an Sonic Prime Style Netflix Anime Series in the 2D Art Style would also be appreciated :D

[@aoihitori]

Just don't let woke media handle this cuz they tend to ruin adaptations.

Thank you for playing this! I definitely got bayonetta/dmc vibes from the combat, especially with the parries. Its so satisfying when you combo in this game. Cant wait to see more of this!

[@ryo-kai8587]

This game is really something special. I hope its resounding success will encourage publishers to greenlight more games like this.

[@AdlerEdLeX]

Someone at Tango saw the Nevan weapon in dmc3 and said, this but a full game, and I'm thankfull for that

[@Saiyan0805]

10/10 it's so bloody good

[@jurtheorc8117]

There's another game in a similar vein to this that came out a few years ago, by name of No Straight Roads. It's much smaller in scale, shorter, more boss-centric and the combat isn't on the level of Hi-Fi Rush here or Soulstice for example in terms of crazy move combinations. Difference with the music aspect being that boss attacks happen on the rhythm of their specific boss themes. It's also the debut game of its respective studio-- and for what it is, it's very stylish, impressive, and full of love towards the world they crafted and a celebration of music in general. Focus may be around Rock and EDM, but other styles -from house to classical- get their spotlight too, and depending on how well you do in battle, the base Boss theme becomes either more Rock-like in sound or EDM-like in sound. I know it's not on the level of H-FR, but i'd hate for it to be forgotten or remembered only as "The Lesser Hi-Fi Rush". So i'm kinda spreading the word. Also, in terms of music-themed game mixed with (genre), there's this upcoming one by name of God of Rock that might prove interesting.

[@maplewing_]

I really doubt NSR will be forgotten or remembered as "The Lesser Hi-Fi Rush" and I don't think comparing the games is really fair. No Straight Roads had (and still has) a massive following which is honestly impressive for an indie game

[@sirsmiteful6285]

50:36 You know your game is good when people respond to a game over with ‘Oh, I wanted to do the whole fight over.’

[@truesight5098]

As someone that has ADHD, this game hits on another level. The stimuli and the way it scratches the right places..... The ONLY way it could have been any better, is if it was open world oriented, something along Sunshine Overdrive. Even just watching vids about this game makes me jump in my seat.

[@LucDaMan4]

Honestly I dont think open world would work for this game

[@kingderper928]

Same bro, just bouncing to the beat ALL THE TIME. Great for keeping in time when playing though.

I watched your Bayonetta series and came back to peep this one, and the topic of indie Hack and Slash games made me think you MAY wanna look into a game called "Soulstice".

[@sweetchaos1045]

Do you recommend it on Playstation or PC?

[@C4sages]

I had a feeling this was going to pop off on your channel! Glad you are enjoying it!

[@AntonioRedgrave]

Thanks Chris! I can't wait to see more of you playing this too, I gotta learn the style combos

[@CyberSaiyan13]

10:04 Metal Hellsinger does have a demo (at least for Series X/S and PC, but not last Gen/One) It's a pretty similar concept except it's an fps (game style where you fight enemies to the beat) and more focused on a Heavy Metal with a very 1980's Metal Album cover aesthetic (think Meatloaf Bat Outta Hell)

[@crylune]

I love this game, and I love 808 so much

[@silvertaken]

Seems interesting to me that he had a little bit of issues trying to get on the beat while hitting enemies at the beginning considering he played DmC a lot, but with some practice he got the trick. Some people had it more rough, while others got the rhythm instantly.

[@7raziel7]

This game is amazing still impressed everyone didn't know about it till launch day

[@MadCisco]

It’s a AAA studio release by Tengo involving the legendary creator of Resident Evil 👍

[@darnell16player]

Yeah this was one of the best shadow drops of a game yet! The music is too notch along with the combat!

[@heardofrvb]

I wonder how he didn't notice the MP3 player on his chest when he changed clothes.

[@guts-141]

He probably noticed the thing connectes to his new hand but not the music player inside and was too excited in a hurry

[@bardknight]

Man, I skipped most of the Smidges and I had no idea about all the combos and the air launch attack. Good thing I'm still on the second level lol. I'm really looking forward to playing this weekend.

[@LucDaMan4]

I'm surprised people like the game so much. I tried it out and I'm a huge fan of the hack and slash genre but my god I was bored. Maybe I wasn't in the frame of mind but I found the writing cringe and a massive pet peeve of mine is being babied through a long tutorial that I can't skip. The art was OK not my style personally but to me everyone is treating it like a hard rock kinda game but it feels like a cartoon trying to be rock for Kids which just feels eh

[@javifire2239]

It's ok if you dislike the dialogues or the art. But the gameplay is amazing, you have a lot of combos, special attacks, block, parry, dashes, hook, combos with companions, and also a lot of different enemies, and also every boss fight is very different, and they give you new mechanics even way after half of the game.

[@porkadillo9752]

How is there a long tutorial? There are only a few mandatory tutorial sections in the first level, and they're all extremely brief. All the other tutorials that come from Smidge can be skipped. Do you just consider the entire first level a tutorial?
