Hi-Fi Rush

Hi-Fi Rush shows that everyone wants more surprises in the world of videogames today

From time to time, even the most established game developers and the most structured studios bring us pleasant surprises and present us with new journeys, worthy of previous productions and show the greatness of the gaming universe and its variety. Nowadays, even more considering the gaming industry and also the consumption of an audience in streams, variety and quality are more and more welcome.

And, drawing a parallel with a famous game developer, Shinji Mikami, variety and competence are synonymous with this creative mind. In his resume are the classic franchises Resident Evil and Dino Crisis, consecrated in their time and popular even today; The Evil Within, more recent and a great success, and even was involved in the production of games of the Super Nintendo era, such as Aladdin and Goof Troop. Last but not least, he helped establish one of the most popular visual novels of all time: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, beloved to this day even though it is part of a niche audience.

Even with a series of successes on his resume, Shinji Mikami proves to be unstoppable in his career and, with his current studio, Tango Gameworks, part of Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda, continues to produce successful games, such as the previously mentioned The Evil Within franchise, the more recent and eccentric Ghostwire: Tokyo and, finally, a release from this year, which we will talk about from now on, that we can consider to be the surprise of the gaming world so far in 2023: Hi-Fi Rush.

Hi-Fi Rush: a great surprise for gamers

Hi-Fi Rush, a rhythmic 3D platformer, may be one of the most different of all the games Shinji Mikami has ever been involved in, known completely for its insertions within the survival horror genre, but it is a project that also shows the game developer’s passion for variety and the industry he is a part of.

This game, even having one of the great developers of the contemporary video game industry and with an impeccable introduction in all aspects, be it in introducing mechanics, soundtrack, gameplay, commands that respond to what is executed, level design, and superb combat mechanics, shows once again that the passion that drives video games is contagious to the people who are consuming, the people who are playing, and the people who watch streams on the internet, where any new thing that catches the attention will always please, and especially a game like Hi-Fi Rush have a huge potential to aggregate in any broadcast.
