Music serves as the central core of the experience, backed by inspired visuals that fill every moment with driving emotion, but it’s more freeform than the likes of something in the vein of the traditional rhythm genre. Is it a rhythm game? Well sure, in a somewhat basic sense of the term. I’ve seen Sayonara Wild Hearts described as a playable pop album, and while it’s an apt description, it serves to be a little more blunt than the nuance of the game deserves. And each listener is meant to find their own meaning in the album as a whole. And like listening to a good album, it takes a moment to really “get it.” The first time through is full of pleasant surprises, each track offering some new twist or element of intrigue. I mean, I’d seen lots of positive coverage about the game, whether it was snappy headlines, excited tweets, or those neon purple screenshots of a girl riding a motorcycle. What is Sayonara Wild Hearts? That’s the same question I had going into it. Still not convinced? Maybe I can help with that. Carve out an hour of your day, grab some headphones, and simply experience this game from start to finish the way it was meant to be discovered. Your curiosity will be rewarded with an unforgettable experience, like the first time you listened to one of your favorite albums all the way through.
If you’re even mildly curious, I recommend simply getting it now.
It’s hard for me to say too much about Sayonara Wild Hearts, because the experience I had going in was one of pure discovery, and I want that same eager foray into this neon world for everyone.
