Hi-Fi RUSH |OT| The Evil Ry-thm

@QuietGamer90

…Started the game on Thursday afternoon and finished late last night - what a great game! Unique colourful stages with no repetitive moments, great boss fights, fluid combat, nice exploration and so visually pleasing. Even though I have no sense of rhythm to save my life, that did not deter me from enjoying this game. Will definitely start a second playthrough to mop up some of the achievements. Though it is a baffling decision from Tango that you have to do five playthroughs for completion on every difficulty Hope they fix that. In a game filled with fun and distinct boss fights, which one is your favourite?

I am very partial to Korsica’s boss fight. Really enjoyed the flow of that battle.

Yeah, I think that’s my favourite too, by a slight margin. Despite not being great at parrying attacks, that boss fight somehow clicked with me a bit more than others.

And you are spot on about the flow of that boss fight - really well done!

What’s the key to getting high ranks/S on score?

Is it high combos?

high combos, hitting on beat, different combos, etc.

The music was good. Nine Inch Nails, Zwan (Smashing Pumpkins), and Prodigy. Brings me back to my youth.

I’m on track 8, and I’m stuck because of a bug (I think?)

Right at the beginning of the level after using Korsica to pass the fire on the door, I missed the timing using Macaron’s punch in the next area a couple of times, then the RT wasn’t working anymore (I see the bubble with Macaron’s face on the wall, but RT does nothing)

I quit the game and restarted the checkpoint which starts right after meeting the robot with the golden can.

Now I can use RT, but when I reach the fire door I can’t get the Korsica bubble on it anymore.

I can bring her, but there’s nothing for her to aim at.

Tried restarting the checkpoint and restarting the Xbox, neither has worked.

Did anyone face a similar bug or has a suggestion that I could try?

Thanks.

I had the same Korsica bug and reported it to Bethesda support, you should do so to so they know more people are having this problem.

Sadly I couldn’t find a way to fix it so you either have to wait for an update or like me speed run up until this point again.

Thanks, will report it.

Doesn’t apply to every fight, but when you have a mini-boss (does a parry attack) you should spam corsica/peppermint and that increases your hit counter and score. In some ways keeping enemies alive longer with fewer melee hits and more partner attacks works better for points.

Dead Space Remake fell to 88 on Opencritic all of a sudden. That makes Hi-Fi Rush the best rated Game of 2023 so far.

Honestly who mind three great games in a row ! This year is absolutely hitting on all fronts. Let’s see how Atomic Heart goes:))

I feel incredibly stupid, but with the quick time events where you have a press and hold prompt, do you have to press again at the end of the slider? If that makes sense?

I’m not sure why but really struggling with destroying the Zanzo eye QTE.

Nope your timing is off

So its a button release at the end of the slider?

From Bethesda Support:

"We are aware of an issue where calling on the help of Korsica in Track 8 does not properly activate the mini-game necessary to bypass the fire wall at the beginning if you have closed the game before reaching another checkpoint after performing it the first time.

This will be resolved in a future update…"

What a game! An absolute blast to play start to end! 10/10!

I gotta say, Parrying can fuck off. Really really not making any sense. Got my arse handed to me just on a chorus section in the Node reconnecting part of the game, and judt bumped the difficulty down.

No shame, but God dam it makes no sense. That white robot that has the big blade that slices you is very difficult.

The samurai? Parry his 123 or ninja move and he takes damage, once his guard meter is down use Korsica to keep dizzying him and hes a piece of cake.
