Hi-Fi Rush’s Arcade Challenge Update Is Now Live for All Players

/

Tango Gameworks and Bethesda have just updated their action rhythm game Hi-Fi Rush with the Arcade Challenge update, giving all players that own the game more game modes to be stylish and test your skills with the game’s unique gameplay.

The free update adds two new modes, new enemies, new special attacks, and more unlockables. Here’s a rundown of what the update adds to the game.

  • Mode 1: Power Up! Tower Up! - A randomized version of the existing Rhythm Tower. In the end, every upgrade or challenge you do affects the score multiplayer. To get an S rank you need to choose the most risky options AND play well!

  • Mode 2: BPM RUSH - Players experience an escalating brawl where every wave defeated makes the song go faster. There are three difficulties: Easy, Normal and EX!

  • New Enemies - Hound and Death Metal - acting as mid-boss class enemies in both new modes.

  • New Special Attacks - CNMANIAC and My Hero!, unlockable as rewards for new mode challenges.

  • Unlockable Rewards - The Arcade Challenge! Update! includes 40 in-game challenges, and beating them unlocks in-game rewards, including character costume items, photo mode stickers and filters, new special attacks… and a special bonus for completing it all!.

  • Unlockable Rewards - The Arcade Challenge! Update! includes 40 in-game challenges, and beating them unlocks in-game rewards, including character costume items, photo mode stickers and filters, new special attacks… and a special bonus for completing it all!.

Hi-Fi Rush was the perfect start for 2023 as it was an easy must-buy when I reviewed it back in January. The game was shadow-dropped during Microsoft’s first big games showcase for the year, meaning the game was available on PC, Xbox, and Game Pass the moment it was revealed to the world during the showcase.

Hi-Fi Rush is available on PC and Xbox Game Pass and is also available on Steam.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Review - A Faithful Adventure With Flawed Execution

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.

This will be music to the ears of kids who grew up on the series, but for the uninitiated, there’s nothing quite like the Mario & Luigi games. Mario & Luigi Brothership does its best to appeal to a wide range of players with charming presentation and a strong new Battle Plug system, but not everyone will be enamored with its reflex-testing gameplay.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review - A Nostalgic Return That Falls Flat

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
