This has been sitting on my shelf for a while, after buying it on a whim, not really knowing what it was.

I am so glad I finally played it! It is a little too sloppy to work as a rhythm game, but is astounding as an interactive music video/game length Bayonetta QTE. I kept expecting it to get dull, but it felt endlessly inventive. I can see myself playing it again and again.
However, if you have Queen Latifah in the booth, you gotta give her more dialogue to chew on. I wish there was a full Latifah commentary track for this damn game, preferably featuring Gerard Depardieu, where they discuss how tasty butter is.

Got in the mood to replay this short game as I’ve been listening to the soundtrack again lately—one of the best video game soundtracks to me. It was just as good if not better than I remember, such an amazing aesthetic experience with simple yet challenging and fun gameplay. Lots of variation between levels too, and it ends super strong. …
Got in the mood to replay this short game as I’ve been listening to the soundtrack again lately—one of the best video game soundtracks to me. It was just as good if not better than I remember, such an amazing aesthetic experience with simple yet challenging and fun gameplay. Lots of variation between levels too, and it ends super strong. Easily one of my favorite games I’ve played in recent years, and certainly an all-time contender for the coveted Best Styyyyyle (if you know, you know).

My wireless controller's battery went flat while playing Hades so I needed to play something that didn't need a controller. I saw that this was on sale and wanted to play it for a while. It's really good. Fluid, good music, extremely oneiric.
This is the year that I found out I like this kind of "runners". Is not everyday …

This is the year that I found out I like this kind of "runners". Is not everyday that you discover a new genre of game you like :)

I love this sooo much. Could not stop smile while playing this game slash interactive album.

Exciting! iam8bit sent an email blanst notifying customers that pre-orders of this, and other Switch titles are heading into production and we will receive them in March. I'm stoked to have a target date for my copies of Sayonara Wild Hearts and Gorogoa. I am also wondering if I should have also grabbed Donut County.

Unbelievable! Just unbelievable!
I have absolutely no idea if I even played this right, I was just thrown into one hell of a wild ride and literally spat out the other end!
Makes me want to be young all over again.
This gets an instant 5 stars from me.
I need to play this again.

So having spent the best part of my twilight years finishing DS2 I thought it was time for a complete change of scenery..... in comes Sayonara Wild Hearts.
Christ almighty the soundtrack to this is good! I haven't even got past the loading screen yet!

The biggest compliment I can give this game is that I didn't want it to end... And in theory there is still some stuff left for me to do, like the YOLO Arcade, so I'll probably jump in again from time to time while I'm in denial of it being over soon. This might fall really flat if you dislike …

And in theory there is still some stuff left for me to do, like the YOLO Arcade, so I'll probably jump in again from time to time while I'm in denial of it being over soon. This might fall really flat if you dislike the music but... I loved it, and I'm just listening to the soundtrack when I'm not actually playing it.

After some desperately unhappy weeks this is the one thing that has kept me going! I'm pretty sure the soundtrack has made me happier than my future children ever will. The songs will be more memorable than their names.
I might have some problems with the stop-start sections (even in the arcade mode), but I have to give this a …

I might have some problems with the stop-start sections (even in the arcade mode), but I have to give this a five! You'll have to take it up with my lawyers!
