    Shadow-dropped straight into my heart.
    As I say in the credits, basically all the music in the video is from the game, because it'd be a crime to take the spotlight away from this wonder.

    I played this game in one day, the amount of fights I had to go through and absolute trauma it put me through makes this the best game of 2023

    The Evil Within devs went so deep into horror they realised only reminding us what we've lost in regards to games would inspire true dread.

    I’m very happy with the reception the game is getting because I thought many would overlook it because of its concept and art style alone. I do love realistic games but games like Hi Fi Rush are a breath of fresh air especially with its quality.

    • @donovanjoseph737
      @donovanjoseph737 11 місяців тому +3

      The algorithm probably sees the bright, colorful visuals and secretly flags the video for a younger audience, which will make It recommended less.

    To answer your question, yes, they still make deticated music players. Except these days they're marketed towards audiophiles, can stream, play high res FLAC files and typically cost in excess of $500.

    So this vid does a great job showing the game's appeal without simply over-hyping it; well done on that. But I legit had to take a minute to recover when you said this was directed by the same guy who directed Evil Within 2. Holy good goddamn, that mental whiplash.

    Chai reminds me somewhat of Denji if it comes to the life goals as a "Hero"- like, yeah, he fights the BBEGs but his fkin life goal is simple as rebar.
    This is quite endering, as ya know- it's just a story of normal lad who just gets into the big fight because it's a good thing, but his personal goals are beyond just being a hero

    I personally consider Stage 10, with the non-streamer mode Invaders Must Die song, to be the best execution of dynamic and gameplay/story/tone fused music since Metal Gear's Rules of Nature.
    It just might be my favorite hyper action game of all time, at least alongside the greats, Bayo, DMC, God Hand and Rising.

    I like how it references to other nerdy culture like R&D's JoJo references and really enjoyed the game on the whole but I found some of the bosses hard to understand their attack patterns and when to attack.

  • @luchirimoya
    @luchirimoya Рік тому +5

    I've been playing for a while now, and I think I'm the opposite of you haha. I'm pretty good at rhythm games and music as a whole but terrible at action, so I'm usually an A ranker. Just timing and clear time are Ss, score is a B. I'll keep playing to see if I can get better, just so my scores can spell ASS instead of BSS lmao. However, the fact that I'm able to play this game at normal difficulty and thoroughly enjoy it (while being disabled and terribly uncoordinated) just shows how wellmade and accessible and genuinely fun it is.

    Hey, I really like your channel. I aspire to be a youtube creator in the future when I have a bit more money and time to invest in the video-creation process. Your The Last of Us multiplayer video was just incredible. So lengthy and detailed, must have taken ages to record and edit. Hours of effort for not much attention.
    Your channel, in my opinion, is severely underrated. You know, the kind of videos that feel like they were born out of a passion, out of a wild idea to give people something new. Videos that feel like content. Original content for the sake of it. That alone is worth celebrating.

    I feel like I'm the only person that didn't like this game. I gave it a fair try but It just didn't hit me right and I can't rightly explain it. While not very similar, it made me want to play No Straight Roads instead [it's kind of like a boss rush version of this game]. I liked the music and gameplay a lot better in that overall, but yeah they can't really directly be compared because they have some fairly different styles of gameplay.
