He’s that lovable idiot who always teeters on the edge of being truly profound before revealing himself to still be a naïve kid.

Chai himself is a comedic juggernaut, brought to glorious life by the inimitable Robbie Daymond. While this type of story has been done before, Hi-Fi Rush stands out by virtue of its stellar cast and polished dialogue. To do so, they’ll need to take down each of the six department heads and recover their access codes. Chai is aided in his escape by Peppermint, a rebel who’s trying to expose Vandelay’s corruption and stop the nefarious plans behind the experiment that gave Chai his powers. It’s a wacky story that could have easily slipped into utter ridiculousness if not for the incredible writing, pitch-perfect pacing, and wonderful cast of characters that both oppose and support Chai on his journey.īefore long, Chai is being hunted by the directors of Vandelay as they seek to destroy what they see as a defect in their production line. Now the entire world bops along to the musical beating of Chai’s heart, offering a narrative explanation for both the rhythm action gameplay and Chai’s sudden increase in combat ability. He goes to their massive island compound, straps in for his new robotic enhancements, and ends up with an MP3 player where his heart should be. Chai, a wannabe rockstar who doesn’t quite know how to play the guitar, signs up to be experimented on by a dubious company known as Vandelay Technologies. Out of all the games like Hi-Fi Rush in this list, The Artful Escape is undoubtedly the best.Hi-Fi Rush doesn’t waste any time dropping you into its story. It's entirely rhythm-based, and just the title you're looking for to satisfy that craving. But the best part is it's just like Hi-Fi Rush in that you compose music as you traverse a world made of sound. The game's soundtrack is composed of actual voice performances from a list of singers. You can't tell us that doesn't sound like a riveting story to which you can also rock out too. In this rhythm-based side-scroller, you play as a young guitar prodigy who embarks on a psychedelic adventure to confront an old folk legend.

The Artful Escape was created by Beethoven and Dinosaur, but it is published by Annapurna Interactive because they have their hands on all games that are awesome, creative, and original.
