The last few years have been pretty sparse for first-party games from Microsoft, especially if you aren’t a fan of racing games or shooters. But things are starting to change as Microsoft continues to release experimental titles like As Dusk Falls and Pentiment. But it’s all come to a head with the surprise launch of Hi-Fi Rush. The new title is a massive deviation for studio Tango Gameworks, creators of The Evil Within, but it’s also the most vibrant and imaginative game Xbox has put out in nearly 10 years. The new rhythm action game is unlike anything else out there, and it’s an absolute must-play title of 2023.
