Windows Central’s take
More excuses to jump back into one of my favorite games of the year? I’ll take it happily. Hopefully this brings continued recognition for what I genuinely think is a masterpiece.
Hi-Fi RUSH
One of the best games of 2023 so far is a title no one saw coming: Hi-Fi RUSH, a surprise launch from Xbox studio Tango Gameworks, the developer of The Evil Within. It’s getting even bigger with the Arcade Challenge Update.
