    Its alright.
    Not groundbreaking, not fantastic.
    Just alright. Basically an interactive music video. Easily finished in an hour. Way too short for 10€. Music is fine I guess but since its the main draw of the game i expected something... better. Game is basically an easy shoot'em up with some QTE button prompts thrown in. Artstyle is well executed and most likely the best part of    Its alright.

    But once again, its just alright at best.
    Only buy this if you want to support the devs or brag about playing the game.
    Otherwise, just listen to the music on youtube.    … Expand

    Visually gorgeous, audibly fantastic. This game flows with grace, it is not punishing with your mistakes, and the overall experience is not just sensory but emotional. The story can be interpreted differently by each player in the details, but the overall message is one of overcoming a hardship and moving on, which is relatable by almost anyone.

This game is to video games what Interstella 5555 is to movies. Short, but I found myself coming back to it for an hour of feel-good gameplay. It does what it intends to do perfectly, and that is why I give it a 10 out of 10- because I cannot think of a way it could be a better version of itself.… Expand

    Great music and very cool graphics, a work of art. Only around 90 mins long unfortunately. I'd recommend to get this game if you find it on sale.

    Wow. Sayonara Wild Hearts is a music game with elements of arcade, mobile games and with an overload of neon and 80s vibes. This game fueled my imagination, helped me see what is possible, feel the music, feel passion, feel a game in the gami-est form I can imagine. Boy! I can't get enough of the glorious music and awesome, fast paced, trippy levels. You feel awesome if you're    -98-

You feel awesome if you're mastering the levels after getting close to be overwhelmed and amazed while playing them the first time. My game of 2019. I love every second of this game, every level, all details. It's polished to the moon and back and I can only recommend to play.    … Expand

    Sayonara Wild Hearts is a good experience, however, it is a short one. I beat the game in a little under an hour and there were some levels that I felt would have been fun if they were not so short such as the night drift level. The music is by far the best part of it.

    The game has a handful of fundamental UX issues that REALLY take away from the game and prevent it from being one of my favorites. It's still something I would recommend but it's not on the top of any lists. The game tends to break your momentum a lot in a few ways which make it so much less enjoyable. One of the major ways it does this is having you sent back to the level select between each level. There are some more minor ways that it does this kind of thing and it just constantly takes away from the experience.

    The game is certainly a good experience but it could be SO much better with some UX changes and some more thought in the game design and level design.

    Despite all that the art style and the music really pull this game ahead. It may not be my number one pick of 2019, however, it's still on the upper side of the list. With the issues I had complained about it would be a contender for the top spot.

    Edit:
    So after playing the game a bit more, I was able to get over the UX issues and it becomes a lot more fun after a playthrough or two. The UX issues should still be addressed as they certainly took away from my initial enjoyment of the game and I am sure they did the same for others. But once you've played a bit the game certainly grows on you a lot more.    … Expand

    Amazing soundtrack and gameplay, every level left me speechless, one of the most satisfying games ever made, replayed it like 20 times

    It's a short game but every song adds a new mechanic to the game and that's great.

    I adore this game it is a very fun experience and the way all the segments flow together with the music and story make for an instant classic. This is one of the few games where upon beating it I went for an immediate second play through.

    Um bom jogo com uma gameplay divertida que prende a pessoa a jogar o jogo de ponta a ponta em uma pegada. Tem uma mensagem bonita e uma trilha sonora que marca bastante, eu só acho que algumas fases não deveriam repetir, pois, algumas ficam até um pouco maçantes, mas isso não atrapalha muito a experiência do jogo.

    Sayonara Wild Hearts is a shot of pure positivity to the heart, delivered with excellence, fun, and finesse through a staggeringly bold and bop-worthy soundtrack.

    With the feeling of movement, fantastic graphics and varied gameplay – it’s a one crazy journey through imagination. [02/2020, p.58]
