Game's great. Absolute must-play. Soundtrack you can deliver a beatdown to with ease. A musically-inclined parrot could tap its way to the win to the beat.


The developer studio, Tango Gameworks, was dissolved by tone-deaf upper management at Microsoft seeking to pad their wallets. I would sooner see Hi-Fi RUSH delisted from sale on Steam than see Microsoft get rewarded for ripping the rug out from under the dev team.

I would give this game a negative review for this reason alone if I did not fear that it would be removed.

They nerfed Holy Revenant when they introduced the perk tree system. It no longer allows you to fully heal as Zealot. It caps to a maximum of 25% of your maximum health.

This is a bad change and no longer rewards the Zealot for doing Zealot things.

After all these years, they've done it. They've made a game that holds up to its on-sale price. Polish it up, fix up all of the script/language issues in the questlines and interaction decisions and it may even hold up to its retail price.

..And don't pick Survival difficulty the first time you play. Being a packrat is hard.

10/10, would read negative reviews again, because it's funny to watch kids whine about failing the tutorial.

Actually, 11/10, because every single negative review has comments disabled, so you can't actually tell them why their review is bad and they should feel bad.

Elves, am I right? You can't even tell them they're wrong, they won't let you.

Game developer takes radical political viewpoints under the guise of "charity events". Do not give them a dime.

Welcome to the future! Where you can be banned from casual matchmaking simply because of receiving too many reports.

Especially entertaining when you actually spent several years getting respectably good at your favorite classes and have spent a considerable amount of dispoable income on cosmetic amenities.

Even more entertaining when the vast majority of reports come from actual screaming children who clearly don't have parental supervision, or from drugged college students playing their harmonica straight into the mic instead of trying to play the game!

You all are gonna have to explain to me, Valve, how a system where anyone can submit a meaningless "report" on a whim (a few quick clicks, if you have mouse controls enabled for the scoreboard) can fairly and automatically prohibit (probably formerly) loyal members of the player base from playing the game and being objectively better at doing exactly that than the new kids and the deliberate trolls.

How many years has this been in development? And I'm already through the story and would have been within Steam refund period had I not taken screenshots of some honestly neat things.

This is an embarassment, Hussie.

With that tl;dr about my feelings out of the way...

"Lemmings" meets "Dwarf Fortress" is overselling it just a teensy bit.

Have you experienced the frustration of having to abandon one child you're playing with in order to hurry into the kitchen and put a child lock on the under-sink cupboards because the baby found them? Whoops, while you were doing that the first kid climbed onto the coffee table and is getting ready to jump off because he thinks he's Superman. Oh! Don't forget about the neighbor's boy you're babysitting for the weekend... because he's about to flush your wallet down the toilet.


This game is that.

The only reason I own this is because I bought the weapons bundle so I could get all of the functionally unique DLC weapons, for only a slightly higher price than purchasing separately. I do not regret a single dollar of this purchase.

DOWNSIDE: You won't spawn with Golden variants of weapons if you have this pack and a high enough perk level to spawn with a weapon.
