14:43 pmUTCWhat would a liveblog about a rhythm game be without a proper sound check, after all? But that’s good, everything seems to be in working order. See you back here at 4pm BST, folks!

15:01 pmUTCSince this is our first RPS Game Club meeting, I’m going to throw open a question to the floor: is this the type of game you’d normally play in your everyday gaming habits? Or have you broken with your general gaming tastes just to see what old Hi-Fi Rush is like?

15:05 pmUTCThat song takes me back to a very specific point in my life when I was looking for my first job post-university, trying to make it as a freelance writer (and failing miserably). It was on the radio all the heckin time.

But yeah, I think the thing everyone in the RPS Treehouse has liked about Hi-Fi Rush this month is just how forgiving it is.

15:07 pmUTCI love it when music takes you back to a specific place. Must have felt nice knowing that since the original track released, you’ve gone from a freelancer to the editor of the world’s best gaming site, right?
How did we all feel about the soundtrack in general? I expected the licensed tracks to be the best bit, but with one or two exceptions, I actually preferred the original score.

15:09 pmUTCI_have_no_nose_but_I_must_sneeze says:This is very much something I’d play whether it was chosen for our little club or not. In fact, I played it right after I finished Sekiro, which seems to be a significant inspiration. A grappling hook that can be used in combat, parries, dodges. There’s even a type of samurai bot that killed me more times than I can count.I’d never thought of it like that, but you’re absolutely right. For the record I think Sekrio would have been improved if every time you slashed your sword a disembodied crowd shouted “HEY!”

15:13 pmUTCWeirdly, the licensed tracks never really made much of an impact on me as so much of it is instrumental - they sort of all blurred into the same in-house soundtrack to me. Lonely Boy excepted, of course!

15:22 pmUTCI_have_no_nose_but_I_must_sneeze says:Speaking of Sebastian, how great is it to have such a versatile developer that can go from Evil Within to this? I haven’t played Ghostwire yet, but I don’t imagine Nine Inch Nails features heavily in it.I was thinking about this constantly while playing it. Although I was disappointed to hear founder Shinji Mikami was leaving the company, you play something like this where he was largely hands-off, and you can see why he’s comfortable stepping away. The talent they’ve cultivated there is phenomonal. I can’t wait to see what they do next.

Nice little foreshadowing for Korsica’s character arc there, too.

15:36 pmUTCI’m normally pants at parries in games, but I liked the focus they had here, particularly in that Korsica fight. Maybe Hi-Fi Rush’s generally more forgiving nature meant they were actually easier to perform, too.

15:48 pmUTCk47 says:After it released, I spent about a month daydreaming what a sequel to Hi-Fi Rush could have. What would you add to it? Both mechanically and narratively?Same! I’d love for them to add additional weapons (themed after different insruments, naturally). I’d also like to play as other characters, I think? Peppermint sections would transform the game into a third-person shooter, Macaron a side-scrolling brawler etc.Narratively I have no idea, but it’d be nice to see them try a location that isn’t just a bunch of metal corridors.

16:00 pmUTCSome final thoughts before I bounce: Hi-Fi Rush is probably my game of the year so far. It’s been a long time since a game made me smile as much (and as often) as this one. It felt like a throwback to the PS2 era, where big publishers like Capcom would throw huge amounts of talent at a very niche idea. I’m so happy it exists, and I can’t wait to see what the team make next.
