Board 8 > Anyone here played Sayonara Wild Hearts?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just beat it. Legitimately one of the most beautiful games I've ever played.

The whole thing is only about an hour or so long; it's essentially a playable pop concept album, with fairly simplistic but changing controls and some of the most gorgeous visuals I've seen in a game

One of my top games of the decade. The soundtrack on spotify is a godsend.

I did! I've basically determined it's my new "quick pick-me-up" game. So damn good and at points emotionally overwhelming just by its audiovisual beauty.

Yeah I can definitely see it serving that role for me too. Kinda in the way Journey and Flower did.

Loved the soundtrack, but I also thought the game was just okay, which sucks because I really wanted to love it. I love rhythm games but only small parts of this fell like classic rhythm to me, if that makes sense.

Give me Thumper 2, is what I'm saying.

The soundtrack on Spotify has two fatal flaws:

1) Puts all the vocal songs up front, messing up the track order
2) No snaps and claps in parallel universes

Calling the game a rhythm game was a mistake imo, and gave people certain expectations the game never even tried to meet because it wasn't that

Yeah, I wasn't sure what was up with that, especially given that the vocal finale is still at the end. Fortunately it's easy enough to rearrange the order of the tracks into a playlist

Yeah this game isn't really a rhythm game as all - I'd be more inclined to call it a "music game" or something along those lines.
