Hi-Fi Rush Review
I knew nothing about this game prior to its release, other than two things - people said it was similar to Jet Set Radio Future, and it was coming to Game Pass.
I've never played JSRF (but I've always wanted to) and I have Game Pass, so I downloaded and booted it up.
I was hooked from the start.
Hi-Fi Rush is an action-rythym game, with platforming, puzzle, and collect-a-thon elements set on the futuristic island owned by the Vandalay Corporation - a robotics company, currently giving out replacement limbs as part of their 'Project Armstrong'. Our protagonist, Chai, signs up for a replacement arm, but a mishap with his legally-distinct-from-an-iPod MP3 player ending up where his heart should be makes him perceive the world to the beat of his rock music. It also makes him Vandalay's Number One Target, as they label him a defect to be destroyed.
This all happens in the opening cutscene.
The game is gorgeous, going for an animation style similar to Spider-Verse, with the visuals being incredibly comic-like. The anime inspiration is also clear, with all the panicked and OTT movements of Chai as he scraps his way out of trouble. Along the way, you run into a host of other characters, such as a robot cat named 808, a badass hacker called Peppermint, a gentle giant called Macaron, and a therapist robot named CNMN (Cinnamon). And they aren't just supporting characters in the narrative sense, they also help you out in gameplay too (well, not CNMN, but what can ya do). Peppermint can crack through energy barriers with her laser pistols, Macaron can bust through walls and knock heavy objects into place, and 808 serves as an understated beat-counter, their lights pulsing along to the beat of the song that's playing.
808 isn't the only musical gameplay indicator, though. The entire world moves with the soundtrack, not just to the beat, but adding flair to the current track, like platforms rapidly shifting, and certain puzzles following their own beat. Even the combat has rythym to it; security lasers with unique timings, having to attack, dodge, and jump on-beat to do more damage and build your score multiplier, and parriable mini-boss moves that let you get a 1-hit KO. Chai's weapon of choice is a guitar made from scrap, and every hit, combo, and parry comes with a musical element.
The story is a fairly standard fare - Chai wants to GTFO, but he can't until he helps Peppermint take down Vandalay. Full disclosure, I haven't finished the game yet (I'm about halfway done), but what I have played I have adored. The game is packed to the brim with charm too. Chai is a quippy slacker, way in over his head, but loving every minute of his adventure. Peppermint is hot-headed, but bounces off of Chai well, and puts him in his place. The 6 bosses of Vandalay are all wonderful too, from the aggressive Southern wrestler-type Rekka, to the obviously JJBA-inspired Zanzo. Like many games nowadays, Hi-Fi's characters like to make meta-jokes, and while I am tired of that as a concept, in Hi-Fi it's sparing enough that I don't hate it (unlike a certain OTHER Game Pass game that also starts with an 'H').
And the soundtrack, oh MAN the soundtrack. It goes hard. There isn't much more I can say! It features both original and licensed music, but the originals are so freakin good I can barely tell the difference. Obviously if you aren't that into rock music, you won't like it, but that's a matter of preference.
With regards to what I DON'T like, I found the part that teaches you about parrying to be way too obstructive. Like, the otherwise fast-paced game screeches to a halt to teach you about this new mechanic, rather than all the other tutorial segments, which are over really quickly. I also find it hard to stay on-beat, even with the optional big on-screen indicator. This may be a problem with my controller, but more often than not I would hit the buttons in time with the beat, but only like 2 out of a 4 hit combo would be on time, which massively brings down your score, which sucks. Also, some of the combos just...don't work? Like I don't know if I really am doing them wrong, but I do the input, and no special move happens. That sucks too. Also I would have preferred to be given the choice to play as Peppermint over Chai but that's just me being nit-picky, let's be honest.
Overall, I have thoroughly enjoyed this game so far. I would definitely recommend trying it out if you have Game Pass, and I'd say it's worth the £30 price tag IF you like the music used. Even then, the gameplay is fun enough that you could mute the music and play to the beat on-screen if you just want a fun hack-and-slash adventure. The game is available on Steam, Windows, and Xbox Series X|S.
Hi-Fi Rush - 9/10
Pros:
- Great soundtrack
- Fun and addictive gameplay
- Wonderful characters and humour
Cons:
- Timings can be a bit wack
- The parry tutorial suuuuuucks

The walls are creaking, creating a polyrhythm
One side of the doorframe taps a beat , syncing with his neighbour every now and then. The house sings

You have to accept that sometimes beautiful things end, that sometimes people leave, that sometimes two human beings don't beat the odds, and you have to find closure in that. You have to heal. You have to move forward, you have to believe in the version of you that is laughing in bed on a Sunday morning with the person they love twenty years from now, because you deserve that FuturE. It is waiting for you.
Choose It.

>he challenges you and does not show any mercy.
>highest difficulty, and he passes without a problem. how?!
>you got out in the first ten seconds [unless you have experience, then he would also be impressed with your skills and try to find harder songs to make you lose]
>would totally reassure you that you too have your own talents if you get too upset^^
>you guys now play every night and he even teaches you some tricks and tips!

>"a rythym...game? you mortals are strange."
>you sigh, thinking that he would teleport away and leave you but after a few moments of silence--
>"how.. how do you play this?"
>you take the controller from his hand and proceed to teach him all of the buttons/controls he would need to use
>you start slow as to not overwhelm him with this new experience, which worked perfectly !
>as time goes on, you play alongside him in harder songs and you both get better
>although there won't be singing, do expect some little hums here and there
>he sometimes waits for you back at your room to finish work (or other activities) so that you can play together<3

Tourist Trapped: Smallest Emo Rythym Guitarist Falls Into World's Largest Bong Roadside Attraction, Fans in Uproar
41-year-old rythym guitarist and father, Frank Iero, was found this Tuesday morning, miraculously uninjured but inexplicably stuck at the bottom of one of America's lesser known tourist attractions, the World's Largest Semi-Smokable Bong.
Tumblr media
While bandmates and friends seem somewhat desperate to save their guitarist, fans seem content to pose at the scene for selfies and autographs - the latter being understandably more difficult to accomplish.
"He was small enough to get in this mess, you'd figure he'd be small enough to get out of it," frontman Gerard Way told the press at the scene of the incident. "Ah, well. He's got air, he'll be fine."
To ensure the guitarist does not go hungry, the remaining members of alternative emo rock band My Chemical Romance have come together to provide sustenance.
"See here," said Ray Toro, lead guitarist and cupcake connoisseur, "We've got all these chip bags, right? He loves these - but the trick is getting them in there. So we're kind of just chucking them in the air the best we can and hoping they'll make it in."
As he said this, bassist Mikey Way demonstrated for the assembled crowd, while his ever-supportive brother cheered him on in the background.
"That was a ten-pointer!" the frontman declared, the lucky bag of Doritos making its landing on the head of the presumably disgruntled Iero.
"Yeah," Way continued, squinting against the sun as he observed the scene. He took a long, contemplative sip of his Starbucks latte, then nodded. "He's alright in there."
While Way seems mostly unconcerned, rumors are circulating that a petition is in place to attempt to smoke the man if it receives 420 signatures in a 69 hour time frame.
In the meantime, a small gang of fans have posed the idea of assembling a crane outside the bong - not to rescue Iero, but to deliver his guitar to him so he can perform for the crowd, even in his time of distress.
Although this is certainly a trying time for the guitarist, some have expressed doubts as to what exactly the man was doing in order to have fallen into the monstrously oversized vessel in the first place.
"He went, 'I'm gonna blaze it!' and just fuckin' bolted," Way said to the press. "I've never seen him climb like that for anything. He was really goin' for it."
Foul play is not suspected.
Iero could not be reached for comment.
More to come as events unfold.

twilight + earth
Supercorp 2023
“I had forgotten how much light there is in the world, till you gave it back to me.” - Ursula K. Le Guin
or Kara thinks the universe took Lena from her and so tries to defy it to get her back
----
All Kara's life has been cleaved into a 'before' and an 'after'
Before Krypton was gone.
And after.
Before all the darkness of space.
And after.
Before Earth.
Before Midvale.
Before the Danvers.
Before Supergirl.
Before Lena.
Before loving Lena.
And after, after, after.
She looks at the earth below, at the moving line on its surface dividing day from night — another before from another after.
She reaches her hand out into the scattering particles escaping through the atmosphere, grasps at the pieces of Krypton, of Earth, of Lena they contain. She drifts into the space they come from, lets them envelop her. Falls into the twilight stretched out beneath her.
Because here the universe has not made up it's mind yet.
Here Lena is still waiting for her at home.
Here she is not dying in her arms.
Here she does not have to know whether or not she can bear an Earth where there becomes a before and after losing Lena.
In this space between yesterday and tomorrow she will ask the Gods and the universe just this once to allow light and time to reverse their roles.
She will ask them for the strength to fly faster than both, to go back to a different before.
But she will get a different answer from them.
"Kara?"
Lena's voice was shaky, strained, and 100km away but the sound of it is the most utterly beautiful thing Kara has ever heard.
"I’m okay… you… come home…please just come home"
And so she flies instead not faster than light, but simply into it. Earth beneath her feet again, and Sol slowly drifting over her face, she begins the slow decent back towards light…towards home….towards Lena.
