Xbox has scored a much-needed important and viewers hit with Hello-Fi Rush, a recreation that’s attracting sky-high person scores even in an age of console partisan bombing, and its critic scores are beginning to add up as nicely.

Because it stands proper now, Hello-Fi Rush has a 91 on OpenCritic, and an 88 on Metacritic, which for some motive has solely a few third of scored critiques counted proper now. On OpenCritic, nonetheless, that 91 (with 100% of critics recommending signifies that if we glance again over the previous 12 months, there are solely two video games that reviewed greater. And also you in all probability know them.

Utilizing the 2022 “Corridor of Fame” chart on OpenCritic, we will see the place Hello-Fi Rush lands:

95 – Elden Ring
93 – God of Conflict Ragnarok
91 – Hello-Fi Rush
91 – Freshly Frosted
90 – Chained Echoes
90 – NORCO
90 – Dwarf Fortress
89 – Not for Braodcast
89 – Neon White
89 – HYPER DEMON
89 – Rogue Legacy 2
88 – Immortality
88 – Horizon Forbidden West

So, Hello-Fi Rush is barely behind GOTY winner Elden Ring and runner-up God of Conflict Ragnarok, and tied with Freshly Frosted, some type of…endearing donut puzzle recreation, although with solely 11 critiques counted. Even when the 88 sticks on Metacritic, that will nonetheless make it the highest-scoring Xbox unique previously 12 months. I ought to observe each combination scores embrace my just-published 9.5/10 evaluate, that means I personally am pulling that common up. No regrets! It’s an unbelievable recreation and sinking much more time into it post-publication, I stand by that.

I suppose I’m interested in what occurs subsequent with Hello-Fi Rush. Is there any future content material deliberate for it like DLC? With this sort of efficiency imply that Hello-Fi Rush 2 goes to be the subsequent recreation from Tango Gameworks? I imply, it positive doesn’t seem to be you’d go together with The Evil Inside 3 within the face of this sort of success right here.

Microsoft is clearly hoping that Hello-Fi Rush isn’t the exception, however the rule by way of the scores different exclusives appeal to this 12 months. My guess is that Forza Motorsport is all-but assured to have excessive 80s, low 90s scores, given the pedigree of that sequence. The query marks are Redfall and Starfield, which Microsoft little question hopes rating excessive. Not like TV and flicks, there may be normally the next correlation between excessive critic (and viewers) scores and monetary success in gaming, therefore two of probably the most profitable video games of final 12 months being…Elden Ring and God of Conflict. So we’ll see if Microsoft can preserve this up from right here.
