A brand new factor for RPS in 2023 is the RPS Game Club, a sort of month-to-month ebook membership for video games the place we choose a sport to play every month, write some cool issues about it, and have an enormous all liveblog dialogue with you lot, our readers, on the finish of it. It’s a challenge I’ve been eager to get off the bottom for a while now, and eventually, the Treehouse Game Club doorways have been busted open… and there is some toe-tapping guitar music coming from inside? That’s proper, we’re enjoying Hi-Fi Rush as our first RPS Game Club sport, and we hope you will be part of us on this month-long musical journey.
Stealth-announced throughout Microsoft’s Xbox Direct showcase on the tail finish of January, Hi-Fi Rush has been an immediate Game Pass hit. It’s an infectious rhythm-action brawler from the makers of Ghostwire Tokyo and The Evil Within, Tango GameWorks, and it is all about biffing enemies to the beat in a vibrant, futuristic world filled with robots and company hoodlums. You even have a cute robotic cat companion that acts as a makeshift metronome. What’s to not like?
You can have a learn of our Hi-Fi Rush evaluate to see precisely what we manufactured from it, however evidently, it is a sport I’ve actually been which means to make time to play because it got here out, and making it our first RPS Game Club sport is, selfishly, a wonderful means to do this. Naturally, I hope it’ll additionally give you the proper excuse to play it as nicely, if you have not already carried out so.
If you’ve Game Pass, I’d extremely advocate grabbing it on there. You may also purchase it on Steam or the Epic Games Store should you’d slightly. But the principle purpose we have picked it’s as a result of it is available on Game Pass. We do not count on you to purchase video games upfront to hitch in with Game Club, and future video games will usually be targeted round free or very cheap issues (or different cool Game Pass bits) that (hopefully) a number of folks can entry.
If you’ve got already performed Hi-Fi Rush or haven’t got Game Pass, fear not. The essential goal of Game Club is to supply a enjoyable and inclusive house to speak about cool video games and the issues we like about them. That’s it. On our facet, we’ll be writing a few articles on our chosen sport all through the month, after which on the finish of the month we’ll all pile into an enormous liveblog session the place you possibly can chat to us about that month’s choose, ask us questions on it, and customarily have a enjoyable, chill time chatting a couple of good factor. You needn’t have performed it to hitch within the liveblog dialogue, however it’ll, after all, assist when you have.
I’m excited to see the way it all shakes out, and naturally when you have any ideas on future RPS Game Club picks, do let me know within the feedback under. I’ll be asserting the precise date and time of our Hi-Fi Rush liveblog in one other submit nearer the top of March, however for now, although, go forth and revel in. We sit up for listening to what you make of it in a few weeks time.
