Sayonara Wild Hearts Reviews

I have been playing games since 2009... and when I say this is one of the most innovative, beautiful games I've experienced... I mean it. The animation is so well done, the soundtrack is AMAZING (as someone who never cares about the soundtrack in any game), I listen to the music outside of the game, which I have never done before. It's very EDM/Lo-Fi-esque. The concept is so unique with the perspective switches and different elements (don't play if you have epilepsy LOL) All in all, the game is short (4~ hours played at a normal pace but there are also extra achievements/riddles you can do, and an extra difficult you unlock after you play all the levels) and its SO worth the money. 1000% Watch a youtube video of the gameplay and you'll be hooked from how pretty it is and how unique the concept is. Truly incredible. Features Queen Latifah's voice and a small team that somehow made this incredible game happen. I still can't get over how innovative and pretty it is.

Do you like motorcycles? ☑ Do you like good music? ☑ Do you like colors? ☑ Then you will like Sayonara Wild Hearts. It’s short, flashy and tons of fun. I highly recommend it as an “experience”. I don’t even want to rate it because I don’t think ranking this can do it justice. You just gotta try it, and see if you like it.

cool game, good music, nice visuals.

I think I would recommend this game IF you are good at Mario Kart. As a rhythm game player, I went into this thinking it would be like that and it is NOT. It's like Mario Kart on steroids, and I am TERRIBLE at that game. So as the game added more mechanics on top of one I was already bad at, it just made me start crashing out. I even tried using the D-pad hoping that my movements would be more quick and precise but nope, just at floaty. I was somehow always moving either too fast or too slow, which tends to be my problem in Mario Kart as well. Even the sections where you have to press a button at a certain time didn't seem to meaningfully line up with the music in any meaningful way, but that could just be because there was a sound effect leading up to the button press (which doesn't happen in rhythm games) so maybe that was throwing me off. However, the music and the vibes are really nice, so if Mario Kart doesn't make you want to scream and cry then I would def recommend it! Edit: IT ALSO BECOMES A BULLET HELL. Another genre I'm awful at. I got so baited omg

15 minutes played, refunded and I still have to say I can recommend this game. Just, please, listen to the music and if it is not your cup of tea, do not buy it. The game is an artistic masterpiece. I mainly bought it out of curiosity. How did they nailed music visuals and gameplay? Greatly, but the music is not style I can listen to. The music is not horrible, just not my style. 15 minutes of warm feeling.. I won't forget, but I won't play ever again..

A one-of-a-kind extravaganza experience that throws together mesmerizing visuals, and a gameplay powered by unforgettable songs to tell something beautiful. It is a gem everyone should play.

A short and sweet rhythm game with zero filler and a very satisfying core loop.

Like playing through a music album. great fun and vibes, check it out.

One of the best rhythm games I have ever played. Truly blew me away just a few levels in. It's so unique and aesthetically pleasing. 9.5/10

I literally can not believe this exists. That humans were able to achieve such a perfect harmony of visuals, sound, haptics, motion, and narrative; all crafted to what feels like the precise artistic vision that the developers wanted to bring across. And all of it just works. And it works on so many levels. It's like all I ever wanted from a game, jam-packed into a tight, sub-2-hour package that still manages to tell a story, that is overflowing in symbolism, while somehow feeling perfectly natural to comprehend, yet impossible to accurately describe. In fact, no single part of this game feels like I would be able to describe it in a way that comes even close to how it feels to actually experience it (which is why you should definitely play it yourself). Oh and be prepared to feel emotions. Like seriously, this made me feel so many emotions but made me switch through them so quickly -yet smoothly- that I was hardly able to tell why I even felt the way I was feeling. However, somehow still, everything just felt right. Like everything just kept falling into place. Like you intuitively understand everything that you are presented with. Like it is constantly obvious what to do, yet challenging to execute, yet limitlessly forgiving, yet silently asking you to do better and absolutely wanting you to succeed. So, what is Sayonara Wild Hearts? Well I don't quite know. But if I had to try to put it into words it's what you end up with when you put all you stat points into Style and Presentation, but then still manage to roll a Critical 20 for the Gameplay and Story skill checks so you end up acing just about every challenge coming your way and you have enough energy left to polish all parts to their absolute maximum possible state and now you have a max level, fully geared out character that you are ready to go to town with in a perfect culmination and celebration of everything that is great about games, music, dancing and animation. Is that a normal way to describe a game? Hell no. But this is by no means a normal game. It's the playable album of music videos that you never know you wanted, but now that you know it exists you just want to experience more of it and you start wondering why humanity isn't doing everything it can to ensure that more of this is getting created. So, all in all, was this review an incomprehensible mess of different thoughts and ideas, expressed in a never-ending stream of odd descriptions, trying to explain everything through wordy vibes? Maybe. You tell me. But honestly, that's just the result of me being absolutely baffled at how amazing this experience turned out to be. Like a once in a life-time thing. And now I just want to see as many people as possible experience this phenomenal piece of entertainment too. With all of that being said: Sayonara, Wild Hearts! tldr: pretty good, you should play it
