The value story
It has never been cheaper than $13.49. That was October 2026. Its cuts run 35 percent off as a rule. There have been 15 in the 4 years tracked, about 11 weeks apart. Today's $13.49 at 55 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Take the discount away and it is a 71. With it, 87.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Geometry Dash ($4.99, scores 89) beats it on value, while it beats Sayonara Wild Hearts ($12.99, scores 63).
On this data it would still be a BANGER at $14.68. It costs $13.49.
Steam's global achievement data puts about 17 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 11.2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 18 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2023 to September 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 2,409 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 92 percent of the 2,547 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
11.2 hours to finish it, 60 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 5.4 times the campaign.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 11.2 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

What players say
Wonderful game; every aspect is done at an excellent level. The only issue is latency-I can't play using Bluetooth headphones. I wish you could adjust the latency slightly to match the music. It's a shame we will never see another game from this studio. The industry needs more experiments like this.
Hi-Fi Rush is not only an exceptional videogame, but also one of the most memorable experiences I've had in recent memory. Its soundtrack and visuals are truly beautiful, its story and characters are charming, and its gameplay is challenging, fun, and genuinely unique. If you love hack-and-slash action-adventure videogames with a musical twist, you're going to love it. I wish I could erase my memory just to...
ABSOLUTE CINEMA HiFi Rush is such a gem. The gameplay, story, level design, artstyle are all so simple yet it managed to still stand out, the game definitely deserved the GOTY nominees and maybe even the win. Everything about this game just screams how much Tango Gameworks put a ton of love and effort into developing this game. I pirated the game to try it out but ended up falling in love and buying the game at full...
