Soundtrack is amazing whether or not you are using streamer mode. This made me buy a whole bunch of the songs used and adding them to a whole playlist.

i feel like a god among men every time i play this game

Genuinely fantastic game, one which the negative reviews for seem to completely overlook some genuine issues in the game for if I'm being generous opinion takes. Which honestly that marks a pretty good game to me.
Gameplay Spoilers ahead.

Gameplay
The combat, it's very different from what I'm used to in the spectacle fighter genre. Game highly encourages doing everything to the beat, at first it's optional with just a damage boost on attacks. Later with the introduction of parry it becomes pretty crucial and honestly a bit disappointing. Parry feels great for the enraged enemies however in normal combat it just feels too potent. It completely overshadows regular dodging once you get it down and when it comes to avoiding damage is as potent as Royal Guard. It makes me wish there were more unguardable attacks.
Your attacks and combos are in total pretty limited however there is a lot to do with what you have, some tools you maybe didn't think of with chaining together multiple combos and intentionally avoiding beat hits. All this being a little harder to accomplish than a non-beat because of the on beat gimmick, so it balances out.
Partner attacks, I'll just be honest I think they were done poorly. With how it's bound in the controls it leads to you constantly having to swap like Dante's weapons but they're cooldown based so you need to constantly swap. They should have been tied to individual keys/buttons, there are enough to spare. Another issue I take with the partner attacks is that aside from some tie in combo attacks they don't really care about rhythm. They're also very potent so you're encouraged to spam them as much as possible.
The bossfights are a little hit or miss but the most part you're in for a good time once you get to them.
Otherwise my biggest issue with the game is the learning curve. The game ramps up slowely and then pretty soon after you get the parry has a massive difficulty spike. Once you're over the hump it's back to smooth sailing but I think they could have done better by introducing parry earlier and swapping the introductions of a certain difficulty spike enemy with a later one that has easier tells.
Another thing, when you are defeated the checkpoints in this game are not great. Finally there are some areas which feel awful due to an overload of visual stimulus, too many things to pay attention to at the same time.
Hard mode is hard, you have been warned. I would recommend Normal mode for your first run.

Story
The story actually isn't all that fantastic, it's a pretty straight forward one with very few twists or turns.

Writing
This is what brings Hi-Fi Rush back. While it has a pretty typical storyline the characters and comedy are fantastic. It has a self referential humour similar to something like Deadpool. Hi-Fi takes a step back from the 4th wall breaks and instead uses the corporate setting as a way to explore real issues ongoing in the world of game development and even explores issues that went on in its own development. I especially love the use of parody. I love the sense of humor the game has, it has a similar feel to many great animated movies like Road to El Dorado, Puss n Boots, etc.
Through and through an action comedy that takes inspiration from film.

Design
The artstyle is as you see, absolutely fantastic and if I had any criticism it's that perhaps there could have been more color variety among the robots to match with how colorful the rest of the world is. Otherwise the game is chockfull of unique levels and enemies. As mentioned before this game takes a lot from animated film and you can especially see that in the cutscenes/2-d animated cutscenes. The game just oozes with style.


Conclusion
On the gameplayside it's definitely not a perfect game, I really feel like my expectations were raised far higher than it should have been due to Tango Gameworks shutdown shenanigans but it's a fine job indeed. I'm glad Tango Gameworks was stopped from shutting down, hopefully we'll be able to see more great work from this development team in the future.

Beautiful art style, great performance, extremely deep combat system which allows for near infinite skill expression, funny and lovable characters, and and an overall varied,enjoyable gameplay.

Development studio shut down by corpo scum, because game was given no marketing, letting this gem be forgotten. If you are able,give it a chance,this game definitely deserves it.

this seems versitile

Yes.

Amazing overall game. The only other game I have played by Tango was The Evil Within, and seeing how well they handled a genre shift is insane. The style and gameplay are standouts. We could of used a skip cutscene button (especially for Kale's 3rd phase, a huge difficulty spike) and lowered shop prices would be welcomed. The dialouge does fall flat in a lot of places but with the studio closure and the unexpected release I assume Tango didn't have time to flesh out the characters. Chai and Korsica are the best 2 characters with peppermint in 3rd. Do give this game a shot you don't need to musically inclined, I am far from it.

I'm not somebody who tends to enjoy beat em ups, but I do love music, and it turns out that this combination was a stroke of brilliance. This game is truly one of a kind, and even if I don't think it hit me quite as hard as it did for some (the story being fairly basic and the writing being Marvel tier camp probably didn't help things), this is just a game that anybody that enjoys video games should try. It's the kind of experience that's truly unique to the medium, and a combination of genres that blended into something wholly unique.

Awesome game. The characters and animation are beaming with personality, gameplay was exhilarating, and I absolutely love how almost (f not) EVERYTHING is to the beat. Landing your attacks on the beat will never not be satisfying. And for a game all about music and being in rhythm, the soundtrack was fire.
One should experience this game.

Obnoxious mechanics/controllers.

In Souls games you get stuck fighting Gods, where you can feel every single attack of the enemy, where you can learn the pattern, you get stuck facing a challenge.

In here you get stuck because somebody decided that it was a good idea to make the user the X button then 0.8 seconds later Y, then you have to put your leg on the table, do a back flip, then 0.3 seconds later hold B for 0.7263563 seconds
