Fantastic!

Is the game actually fun to play?

Sable is good but the tech performance is absolutely atrocious on PC and console.

I had to lock it to 30fps just to avoid the random, extreme FPS swings.

Great video by Oliver, feels like he leveled up with this one. Now imagine Playground saw this game and felt motivated to make an Auto Modelista spiritual sequel, come on MS, let them!

I won't be surprised if MS brings this to Switch. not port begging, but they did bring other smaller games like this.

Very beautiful game. Very polished. Great combat with a lot of style and heart. Funny as hell too. I'm a bit addicted to it at the moment.

Honestly, aside from being on GP, the price they're selling it at .. it's a steal.

I've played many $60 games that are far more shallower and have less content than this.

Fun. Fresh. Original. Reminds me of a Dreamcast game. Well done. And this is from the makers of The Evil Wihin?! I'm impressed

I'm super shite at rhythm based games but I'm enjoying it a lot so far. You can pretty much play it like a beat em up.

This minus the button mashing. The rhythm makes me think of what to do next and how to react. And so far they've continued to introduce new gameplay mechanics and enemies each chapter.

I suck ass at games like DMC that give a score after encounters but I'm finding this very fun. And it gorgeous to look at.

Yeah, HiFi Rush is totally worth its asking price and then some. I was pretty blown away how fleshed out it was, with multiple stages, great characters, a well written story and high production values. I didn't think it was gonna be so packed with content when I saw the trailer and MS even go so far as to shadow drop it. I thought the game was like 4-5 hours, tops.

It's still bad? Even after they had all that time for a Ps5 release? Wtf ..

I mean, Sable was made to be a 30fps game, with even lower framerate animations as in Hi-Fi Rush cut scenes at that, they just allowed folks to remove the 30fps cap cos of whining, even though it's not an action game anyway. It makes sense it's not optimized for the high fps they never intended.

Outside that, I didn't much like the game in the end, I mostly loved that the world design reminded me of Panzer Dragoon since the early showings of it rather than their game design, but their art style is brilliant.

This looks similarly cool too.

Is it really that good? I mean is it for people who usually don't play rythm based games?

I wouldn't even call it a rhythm game. The combat system gives you damage bonus for attacking on beat. Bosses and mini bosses also have rhythm QTE sequences that work more like finishers. It's done really well and I don't feel like I'm playing a rhythm game.

People seriously asking, why it is not on Xbox One? Isn't it good that Manufacturer/publisher finally moved on from that shitshow?

Kill the Xbox One with fire. If I could, I'd break into every house and smash their Xbox One consoles to pieces and just tell them to buy a Series S as I'm being hauled off by the cops.

What an abortion of a console. It just needs to die.

Not sure about PS5, I played on XSX and PC before it left game pass.

If the content update fixed the performance I would buy it to play the new stuff but I don't know if it did.
