Hi-Fi Rush
I could go on about this game forever 
Everything from the art style to the plot is phenomenal. It has classic comic energy while cracking jokes, alternating between serious themes and all-around an awesome soundtrack. Nine Inch Nails, for example, has two songs featured here. The themes are all very catchy!
It’s a lot like No Straight Roads, which I can also go on hour-long rants about for being such a unique game.
The plot (spoiler free) is around Chai, a wannabe rockstar who signs up for an experimental program that aims to ‘upgrade’ people by giving them cybernetic enhancements. He gets a new arm, but his old MP3 pod gets in the way of the machines, becoming his heart. Chai can see and feel the music in everything; he always moves to the rhythm. Unfortunately, he quickly gets labeled as a reject and has to fight his way out in order to avoid being recalled.
The game was released about a month ago and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since. You guys should check it out ~

What happened to his arm? Lol, I could so use a cybernetic shunt.

He starts of the game with his arm in a cast, so it could have been broken? There are a few characters that pick up cybernetics along the game as they get injured. There’s kinda a theme with how much humanity a character has depending on how much of their body they’ve willingly replaced, which means you’ll find bosses with a ton of cool upgrades as compared to the main cast.

A really fun games that I needed this year. Hopefully I can get some more free time to go deeper into it. Have you finish the game Blue? Do you plan on getting the platinum for it?

I did a brief run-through, barebones just to finish it and explore the plot. Will definitely be going for the plat because there are so many secrets and it’s totally worth it
I think my favorite had to be obscure logs about why the coffee machine was constantly broken

I could go on about that forever. Most of the bosses have massive gripes about coffee and there’s a whole argument at the end where the CEO is yelling at his finance officer about shutting down the whole industry campus but leaving the coffee shop open

Also super secret but also not so secret, all the characters are in the poster I slapped down in the first post. The main characters are in front and all the bosses are hidden in the billboards behind. Love that little detail

Also, random, but I want Hi-C now. I honestly thought this was an appreciation thread for it because I’m weird.

The main character also has the same color scheme and energy as Ryū Urashima, the main character from Future Police Urashiman (It’s a great anime you should watch it)
I got probably less than an hour. Mostly just exploring the combos and trying to perfect my attacks with the beats. I don’t have an Xbox or a good gaming pc so I play at my friends house 
I’ve been seeing lots of cool Easter eggs in the game too, it gives me high anime vibes!
@Ouijaloveletters i honestly didn’t expect the forums to still be here
