Oozing with vibrant ’90s charm and unabridged rockstar energy, this vibrant and rhythmic beat ’em up will not only have you tapping your foot along to the beat, but head-banging and drumming along on your controller during every single fight. So what about a game where absolutely everything revolved around music? An experience where rhythm was the central pillar around which the rest of the game was built? Well, the creative masterminds at Tango Gameworks, the team behind Ghostwire Tokyo, have used every bone in their musical body to create Hi-Fi RUSH, surprisingly announced and launched on the same day for Xbox Series S|X and PC.

In fact, it’s my favourite part of most games. And in videogames? You bet there’s a tonne of music. For as long we’ve been able to carry a beat, music has been carrying our melodies and stories.

It’s there the moment you start up your car, it’s assaulting your eardrums during late nights parties and gigs, or if you’re talented and creative enough, maybe you’re the one responsible for making it. Music is in everything – it’s the beating heart of all of our lives, whether you notice or not. Grab your nearest guitar and plug in for a rush of rhythm in our Hi-Fi RUSH review!
