Sayonara Wild Hearts Genre Rhythm Gameplay: 3 Rest of Game: 5 Engagement: 5 New to Me: 5 Playtime: 3 Total score: 21/40 Song selection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lct1dnTt_yY Hot take Sayonara Wild Hearts is incredibly overrated. First of all, this game needs an epilepsy warning or something. I can handle lots of flashy particles on the screen, but the visuals are basically nothing but neon pink and purple and blue on a black background. Everything that isnt the background is extremely bright, extremely flashy, and really difficult to handle. I havent heard anyone else say that the visuals bothered them, and most people love the cel-shaded graphics and the polygonal art style as a highlight of the game. I cant blame them for that, but it takes me about twenty minutes to adjust during which Im nauseated and trying to protect my eyes. (And for reference, games that come with epilepsy warnings never bother me.) Second, the game is cute. Not a daww kind of cute -- a clever kind of cute. Once you transpire that, however, the levels are short and mostly lacking in substance. Yes, its a rhythm game, but this aint DDR. The levels could mostly stand to go on a little longer. And theyre extremely varied almost to the point that you feel like youre playing a minigame collection. Im guessing this is what Rhythm Heaven feels like, if Rhythm Heaven were set on the Las Vegas Strip and set to a very different style of soundtrack. Really, Rez would be a better comparison, except Rezs gameplay mostly remains consistent. The journey the player goes on is interesting, I guess?, except it feels more like an acid trip than a symbolic journey to me. Im not typically fond of that sort of presentation. So okay, I get why some people would like it. But 97% positive on Steam, huh? Yeah, that seems like way more that the game deserves. Its okay. But its certainly not fantastic. Should you play it?: Eh, probably. Im talking shit about it, but its not bad. Its just not that good, either.
