Hi-Fi Rush | Best 2023 Xbox release? @letsplayanything

This is a lets play video featuring Hi-Fi Rush a Bethesda Software game launched on Xbox Game Pass! Chai, a 25-year old man with a disabled right arm with a dream to become a rockstar, arrives at the Vandelay Technologies campus to volunteer for Project Armstrong, a test program for cybernetic limb replacement. Unaware to Chai, the CEO, Kale Vandelay (Roger Craig Smith / Takehito Koyasu) secretly designates Chai to be a garbage collector for the company’s waste management. As Chai’s limb replacement process is about to begin, Kale throws away Chai’s music player, which accidentally falls into Chai’s chest and embeds with it during the process, causing Chai to feel a musical connection with his surroundings. As a result of the accident caused by Kale’s carelessness, Chai is labeled a defect and the facility’s robotic security forces pursue him. Chai discovers his new arm can deploy an electromagnetic grabber stick, which he uses to fashion a guitar-like weapon, and is originally meant to be used for garbage collecting. As he searches for a way to escape, he encounters a robotic cat named 808. He is aided by an unseen ally, Peppermint (Erica Lindbeck / Toa Yukinari),[3] who communicates through the robotic cat, and guides him to her hideout. There, she offers to help Chai escape if he agrees to help her investigate a conspiracy behind Project Armstrong. The two form a reluctant alliance. Soon, Chai helps Peppermint gain access to a Vandelay executive computer, and learn about SPECTRA, an AI-program that uses Vandelay’s cybernetic implants as a back-door for mind control. The two hatch a plan to access and shut down SPECTRA by securing passkeys from each of the company’s executives, including Kale. As they pursue their targets, they recruit more allies, including the disgruntled and nervous former head of R&D Macaron (Gabe Kunda / Yasuhiro Mamiya) and his blunt psychology robot partner CNMN (pronounced “Cinnamon“) (Sunil Malhotra / Hiroyuki Yoshino), and eventually Vandelay’s security chief, Korsica (Sarah Elmaleh / Yū Kobayashi), after Kale makes an attempt on her life for discovering SPECTRA’s true nature. While exploring a museum of Vandelay Technologies, Peppermint reveals that she is Kale’s sister. She explains that their mother, Vandelay’s founder Roxanne (Rahnuma Panthaky / Naoko Kouda), encouraged her to leave home and find her own path, but returned after Kale’s ascent to CEO because she sensed something was wrong. As the group pursues Kale, their final target, they encounter Roxanne, but learn she is being controlled by Kale. Kale traps the group and explains that he plans to use Project Armstrong to control users’ purchasing habits. Chai frees himself and his allies from the trap and battles Kale. With Kale defeated, they shut down SPECTRA and frees Roxanne from its control. Afterwards, Roxanne is reinstated as CEO of Vandelay Technologies, Peppermint and Chai are offered jobs within the company, and Macaron and Korsica regains their old jobs. Later, Chai and his friends gather to look at the sunset while he practices playing guitar, so that he has a fallback career. Events after the main story reveal that SPECTRA has begun restarting by itself with the AI appearing to be a replica of Kale. However, SPECTRA is unexpectedly shutdown after a cleaning robot accidentally pulls the power plug. Chai declares the problem solved and leaves a warning note not to touch the plug. #gameplay #letsplay #commentary
