Hi-Fi Rush is a tubular action game that turns the rhythm up to 11, and I couldn't let 2023 go by without singing its praises

This was such a fun game, not too long, great music and the boss fights were such a cool style. Highly recommend everyone give it a go.

I was terrible at Hi Fi Rush, and that's the ultimate sign that it is an excellent character action game

What does “tubular” mean in this context? I’ve only ever heard it as a positive adjective in Surfer slang.

They are using it the same way the Ninja Turtles did.

It's exactly as you described

Surfers want the most tube-like waves to surf through, hence tubular being a great positive.

Fantastic game! Played it on gamepass and recently bought it on Steam so I can play on PC with a PS5 controller for better haptics (and also play on Steam Deck). Highly recommended!

Quick tip : there is a mod to have the PS keys instead of the Xbox ones.

I finished the game suite some time ago but I was happy to see that someone thought about this and made a mod.

That sounds awesome! Do you know where I can find the mod? I’m still pretty new to PC gaming and haven’t done much with mods yet in any game.

It was this one :

It might be a bit intimidating to install but if you take your time and strictly follow their instructions it should work fine.

If someone asked me how to get into fighting games I'd give them Hi-Fi rush first. A perfect presentation of how not to mash.

Too many tutorials. Love the rhythm combat but turned the game off because it refused to let me enjoy said combat.
