    Super compelling visuals and sound...then boof, the game is over in around a hour with little post game play. That's actually fine as an experience for something like Apple arcade, but when paying $13 USD for it on Switch...the lack of replayability + time to completion has to be factored in.

    The graphics are great, but the music is scary like from a mall store (castrated of all style, oblong and expressionless) - made me sick. Gameplay is practically non-existent here. I definitely do not recommend it.

    It’s tough to review a game that is generally regarded as unarguably excellent, but to any of the people still holding back on Sayonara Wild Hearts, I urge you to jump in. There isn’t a single element of it that hasn’t been crafted with love and care, and its pop-centric soundtrack is brought together by some really fun gameplay. It is absolutely essential.

    This colorful escape couldn't have come at a better time. [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 23SW]

    Sayonara Wild Hearts is more than a game for me. It's a catharsis vessel. It's a story of self-love. It's a reminder that some things break but that doesn't make us broken. It was once a dream and now forever a memory. It's transcendent and undying, but, of course, it is. Wild Hearts Never Die.
