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

    The Wild at Heart was a surprisingly good puzzle game. The game has you use Spritelings to attack enemies and help solve puzzles. I played it through Game Pass but it's absolutely worth buying. The soundtrack was amazing as well.

    Absolutely charming game, both from a storytelling perspective and visually. The hand-drawn characters and environments perfectly portray this tale of childhood innocence and discovery. Occasionally touches on some heavy material, but nothing that should put you off playing with a child. The Spritelings are adorable and if you've ever played Pikmin, you'll instantly understand the mechanics

    A decent PC substitute for the Pikmin series. Its magical land filled with adorable creatures is a joy to explore, rich content will keep you occupied for as long as 20 hours, and a drop of survival mechanics spices up the adventure without making it stressful. The somewhat hazy story is okay at best and even though the game showers you with crafting materials, the crafting itself is pretty much needless, but the game’s biggest problem is the repetitiveness that made me slightly weary.

    The Wild at Heart is a story-rich action-adventure that draws you in and pulls at your heartstrings as we follow two children, Wake and Kirby, as they discover who they are and where they belong. The immersive and detailed storytelling and intuitive gameplay make The Wild at Heart a beautifully crafted showpiece. Whilst some of the gameplay further into the experience can feel repetitive and some mechanics are either underutilised or unnecessary, this is still a game worth sharing with people of all ages as it offers unique experiences for each player. Moonlight Kids have done an amazing job creating this unique and wonderful world and the story within. If you are an avid lover of puzzle adventure games that involve weird and wonderful creatures, coming of age stories, battles against supernatural foes and uncovering secrets, then The Wild at Heart is something you absolutely must experience for yourself.

    The Wild at Heart is a nice adventure fairy tale in an imaginative world, but suffers from AI problems as well as some bugs.
