May 27, 2021The Wild at Heart takes players on an immersive, whimsical adventure of childhood fantasy. The beautiful artwork and detail of each level enhance the deep, story-rich world.

The Pikmin-like mechanic with spritelings is innovative for this particular genre, and it works well for the story and characters.

Jun 4, 2021With soothing music, calming visuals, addictive gameplay, and a unique tale that unfolds slowly, The Wild At Heart is incredibly easy to recommend. In fact, the only thing you will need to find real enjoyment with this gem is a controller and a good 20 hours to sink into it. There is so much charm and energy in this little puzzler, and I was so engaged in figuring out the whimsical world of the Deep Woods that I hardly noticed the time just whizzing by.

May 21, 2021Wild at Heart is so well put together with a remarkable level of polish and a real sense of its own identity. The skilful blending together of different mechanics borrowed from high profile titles enables the game to be intuitive but also maintain a distinctive feel, so while not the longest game, it is chock full of character and deserves to find its way into your heart. Plus, the Spritelings are just so effin' cute.

May 21, 2021The Wild at Heart is Pikmin with a dash of Earthbound and Luigi's Mansion. And it's a damn good time.
