I'm 45, I've had good times and bad times. I've fallen in love, grown up, gotten married, beaten alcoholism, had a child, fought off depression, led my wife through her kidney failure, carried the death of loved ones, and come back from the brink. I've weathered the storm of life like anyone else . . . I'm not special. I'm not rich, but comfortable, and I've gathered quite a steam library as a hobby over the last 10 years. Something I have rarely done, during my time with almost 4000 titles, is write a review. Two, maybe three for 4000 games. Think about that for a second. I'm 45. I just cried playing a video game, something I can't ever remember doing. I feel like my heart is going to burst. It's joy, and sadness. It's like a good memory with a parent who's long gone, bubbled up at random, making you laugh and ache at the same time. It's bittersweet. The music and visuals are subtle and flashy at the same time, they get under you and lift you up. It's got spirit of the 60's, the heart of the 80's, and feels like every memorable video game trope from the 2000's, with the social softness of the 2020's. It's huge and tiny at the same time, and thoughtfull and meditative together . . . it tells the story of leaving your comfort zone, and makes you comfortable. It's heavy and light. It's all of these and more. My emotions are a flood. I had to write a review, and let people know how I feel. I can't describe it, I feel like I found my heart again, and I didn't even know it was lost. Life was comfortable before 2:00pm today . . . now it's magical. It's these small things that I forget, and remember, and then forget again . . . the birth of my son, the feeling of nervous sweetness on my first date with my wife, an unexpected comment from a random stranger about my eyes, finding an old photo of my dad that no one ever remembered taking -- -- This game is like that sweet, fleeting memory. TL;DR: 45-year old man cries after finding his heart lost in a game, and writes a review while his wife asks him if he's okay. 11/10, would purchase these feels again.Show moreShow less
Unfortunately refunded after only about 20 minutes of play. It's more of an 80's synth inspired music video than an actual rhythm game, so it didn't scratch the itch I was looking for. But the reason for my refund is, it has some extreme strobe and flashing lights in certain stages that caused me dizziness and lasting discomfort, and to my knowledge I have no history of epilepsy or any sensitivity. I'm shocked that there is no warning anywhere on the store page unless it's hidden somewhere. Beware if you have any sensitivity to flashing lights.Show moreShow less
Played on Apple Arcade - fell in love. Played on Switch - fell in love even more. Saw it was released on Steam - bought instantly and fell in love again. Sayonara Wild Hearts is the secret best game of 2019, do yourself a favour and buy it, set aside a couple of hours, sit in a dark room with some quality headphones and play through the entire thing with a favourite long drink of yours by your side Wild hearts never die!Show moreShow less
While beautiful, this game is not for me. I don't have issues with flashing lights but I had to literally stop playing after 10 seconds when fighting the second trio the first time. It made sick and really fast. Please if you have some form of epilepsy don't play this game, this game should include some kind of warning.Show moreShow less

I have no idea how this game got so many positive reviews... The "game" if you can call it that, has no real gameplay. The controls consist of one button and one joystick to switch lanes if you aren't locked in a QTE so easy that there's no point to have it at all. Also no options to adjust sound ingame. I expected something more minimalist with replay value like race the sun but every level always plays the exact same. It's more like an interactive music video that tells a story from level to level. Not bad for what it is but really not my caseShow moreShow less

I was really looking forward to playing this game... but it left me completely underwhelmed. What we have is an admittedly beautiful and flashy presentation covering over mostly dull gameplay and story. I very quickly learnt that this wasn't going to be a game of precision or rhythmic dexterity like I'd hope and so I just went along for the ride, not worrying too much about my score as this was the vibe the game was giving off... an easy breazy ride where it's literally impossible to collect everything along the way. I played each stage once and was done with the game in an hour. Their were inventive flourishes throughout but for a game that is only an hour long their were so many missteps. So many times you can't see what's coming ahead, their are repeated dull stages, their are a number of very dull music tracks with only one or two worth coming back to... it's just all in the presentation... but even that has it's issues with the aping of the arcana to present a really boring and under-developed story. The tarot references felt completely tacked on to give the game some 'edge' but it, like everything else, was cosmetic and paper thin. Again, really wanted to like this game. I love rythm games, I love Res, I love music... but this left me wanting soooo much more. Maybe I'm missing something? As their are only 130 negative reviews, and almost 5000 (!) positive reviews. If there is more to the game worth exploring let me know in a comment (if anyone reads this!!) 5.5/10Show moreShow less
There are a lot of feel-good games out there. There are games that put a smile on your face with touching moments, that warm your heart with intense charm, or simply give you something fun and uplifting to do. Sometimes it’s too obvious what they’re doing, or there are sacrifices elsewhere to keep that cheerfulness going. And then there’s Sayonara Wild Hearts. I’ve played games that made me feel good but not many that were about feeling good, that could make me feel warm and fuzzy through their action, their music, their pacing, their themes, and everything in between. And I can’t think of many that kick this much ass while lifting you up so effectively. Somewhere in the world, a young woman has had her heart broken. At the same time, the three major arcana that maintain harmony in the world have had their peace shattered by the appearance of a new arcana. With the last of their power, they grant the young woman the strength to stand against the arcana and her allies, to turn back the chaos and return harmony to the world. But the journey will be a perilous one, delving deep into realms of pure concept and emotion. With each victory the woman’s heart grows stronger, and as she approaches the source of the darkness, she might find something else she’s been missing for far too long. Sayonara Wild Hearts wears its themes on the sleeves of its technicolor bomber jacket, but even if you don’t pick up on them you’ll get them nicely packaged for you by the finale. What this means for gameplay is about two dozen stages that follow the woman’s intense plunge into Heartbreak Subspace, and emergence into the realms of the marauding arcana. Each of these stages is a breakneck rush through vibrant cities, forests, and freeways filled with hearts to collect and dangers to avoid. They’re all quite different in their structures, as well. Sometimes you’ll be gliding through space, sometimes tearing around on a motorcycle, sometimes leaping across collapsing roadways, or drifting in a muscle car, or flying on a sword, or clinging to a stag. Every single stage of this game is a beautiful cacophony of sights and sounds surging past you in intense new ways. I’m not kidding about the pace, either, because you’ll usually only have a second or less to react to threats. What makes this work is the music, which always syncs with the flow of a stage. Obviously this will be important when you need to time button presses for leaps or strikes, but it can also signal sharp turns or big jumps ahead. The soundtrack is an intense mix of styles, just like the stages, with some marvelously voiced songs for the big showdown stages. Some of them are really quite heartfelt, and once the themes of the game start to connect with you it’ll really click how much of an emotional journey it all is. I wish I could elaborate on that, but in the end Sayonara Wild Hearts is something you really, really need to experience for yourself. It’s not just the incredible soundtrack or the intensity of the gameplay. What makes this game special is how it builds all of its action and style to an emotional climax that can rival even the best-written games. There’s a message here for anyone, anywhere, that’s all-inclusive and is sure to lift your spirits with its own power and the power of reaching that point yourself. It’s a fantastic way to spend an hour of your time, and there’s plenty more to do like getting score ranks, finding collectibles, and solving the game’s many riddles once you’ve beaten it. But even without those bells and whistles, I’d keep coming back again and again. Not many games have made me feel so much like a superstar, or made me feel as good about it as this one. Did you enjoy this review? I certainly hope so, and I certainly hope you'll check out more of them at https://goldplatedgames.com/ or on my curation page!Show moreShow less
Go download the soundtrack, it's great. The actual game not so much. If you're looking for gameplay, it's just moving side-to-side and sometimes hitting spacebar. But Sayonara WH is a game about the Experience. It's a damn good experience, sort of. It's stylish, simple and easy, with surprising variety. And the music works absurdly well to enhance it. But the game is like a bad dancing partner. It expects you to know what it wants without bothering to explain much. Your 2nd time playing will be better than the 1st, because now you sort-of-know what's going on. The controls themselves feel sloppy (as if always on ice). It interrupts any fun you might be having every 1 - 1.5 minutes... the length of most levels. And the fun will last you barely more than 1 hour. (Also, while 95% of the game is a breeze, it will occasionally throw some really weird difficulty spikes) tl;dr "audio-visually stimulating, but gameplay-starved and extremely short, with various hiccups" On a sidenote, if you don't think #19 "Parallel Universes" is the absolutely coolest ♥♥♥♥... Well I guess you're half-right. The latter half (difficulty spike) kind of ruins it. Still cool though.Show moreShow less
