"side of sugar" yes. yes i actually want this. do this. highlighting great indie games or mid-shelf games sounds like a perfect idea to balance the salt.

There's another scene where Rekka is yelling at you via a monitor, and then she puts her hand down, stretches the border of the monitor down, and leans out of it to yell at you even harder. It's amazing.

Saying a game "belongs on a gamecube in the best way possible" is honestly one of the greatest compliments that I think can be given to a game. There was something so unique and fresh about that era of videogames that I think you phrased perfectly: "It feels like the games had to wow the audience, and not just coast by on a name they know, " and I definitely think that's something current gaming lacks, especially if you look at stuff like the mario spin-offs or even Animal Crossing tbh.

Wait it was in development for 6 years and still only $29.99? Jesus this game deserves all of its good word of mouth. They did an amazing job!

I really love how Hi Fi Rush wears its influences on its sleeves like it gave me massive Scott Pilgrim/Jet Set Radio Vibes and i love that the Director even said he took inspiration for Chai’s personality from Scott Pilgrim’s :)

[minismallists]

Hell yeah, Hi-Fi Rush, wasn’t expecting a side of salt of it so soon

[scylla]

The optional dialogues for returning to your base between levels, or even before you beat a level, are hysterical. So much love was put into HiFi's writing. And for a game already popping off with its aesthetics and organic level design, that's saying something

[Mariofan..]

One thing I liked about this game is that even though they are all evil the bosses are pretty likeable and I enjoyed watching them

[paradocks]

This game came out of nowhere and held my attention for about a week straight. I hope the team that made it gets all the props and funding they need for future projects

God the visuals and the art direction in this game looks absolutely incredible. It really does remind me of the golden age of game cube games.😺

[TreeckoBro]

This was the fastest I've ever bought a game honestly.
I took one look at the visuals, story, presentation, characters, humor and was immediately sold.
Definitely wanted to purchase it because we need more games like this.

Hi-Fi Rush is definitely GOTY for me. An unexpected masterpiece.

Been kinda loving these sleeper hit games recently. You'll never know what gem you'll get until people starts recommending it to you.

I also like that they have the optional email archives you can pick up and just read. Rekka had one where she explained why she always writes in all caps because everything she has to say is important. Such an amazing detail. For a first boss she really set the perfect tone in the game.

[PeriodicalMusic]

GOD i love this game so much. Its like if you took like the art style of Lethal League / Blaze and the Characters and dialogue boxes of Persona and then they had a baby that was a groovin robot. Its so unique and charming and youre so right where it feels like its straight off the gamecube.

[Blu_Moon_Owl]

Favorites detail is that Hi-Fi Rush has a nice nod to Sebastian and Joseph from The Evil Within in the form of two robots you can encounter, since the obvious fact that the same company the made TEW made this. Quite the tone shift but worth it for this awesome game

[shumjuna]

It's such a great game that I already 100% a week ago!

Also Chai is a dumbass after my own heart and I love him so much.

[Radio_CATive]

This video made me realize that, yeah! The reason games just don't click with me anymore is because they rarely come out finished. Hi-Fi is probably one of my favorite games at the moment because there's nothing to WAIT for, there was nothing TO wait for in the first place with the shadowdrop which just makes it incredibly special. It brought me back to a time where games didnt feel commercialized and like they wanted to milk you out of all of your money; this game just wants you to play it and have a really good time doing so.

I suck dong at rhythm games and this was still extremely entertaining all the way through.
And the goofy cast is just fantastic with stellar voice acting. And CNMN was just icing on this cast.

Damn, this was a feel good game. It's been a while.

[CruelWarren]

This game is like a weird fusion of Jet set radio, bayonetta and Crypt of the Necrodancer and I love it
