In the wake of the sad news of Tango Gameworks’ closure, I decided to revisit the studio’s rhythm action game Hi-Fi Rush. It still whips, and some of its best parts shine even brighter now. And now that I’ve seen credits, there’s still a fair bit of mess to clean up in the aftermath. I saw doors I couldn’t open throughout each level and figured I’d have reason to replay them. But I wasn’t expecting it to actually factor into a post-game plot. I’m excited to revisit those levels, smack enemies around on the beat, and wonder wistfully about the sequel Tango Gameworks was getting ready to pitch before it met its untimely demise at the hands of corporate greed. — Kenneth Shepard
