Sayonara Wild Hearts excels in two fields; its art style and its soundtrack. While the sharp and colourful visuals are enhancing and mesmerising, it is only part of the journey Sayonara Wild Hearts can take you on. Obviously the soundtrack is the main hook of the game and if you love lighthearted synth-pop music, you’re guaranteed to fall in love with this game for the soundtrack at least. Gameplay may be the game’s only “flaw” and I say that loosely - gameplay is minimal. You’re pretty much just guiding your character through a speedy and electric course trying to collect hearts (think of Mario collecting his coins or Sonic collecting rings) and that’s fine, except it hardly feels like much of a challenge through the game’s short play time. This makes it a perfect stress-free experience for some players but for myself, I did personally wish for a bit more of a challenge. Overall, this is a cute game to play. You’re free to interpret the story how you wish and I found it to be quite sweet. Gameplay that lacks any real challenge is made up for with beautiful visuals and a stunning soundtrack.
