Sayonara Wild Hearts is a music-based action game created by Swedish developer Simogo and published by Annapurna Interactive. Described as a "pop album video game", Sayonara Wild Hearts follows the story of a heartbroken young woman through a surrealistic landscape. Each level of the game is set to a song, with the player guiding the woman while collecting hearts, avoiding obstacles, and fighting enemies. The game was released for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and iOS devices in September 2019, and for Microsoft Windows in December 2019. It was met with positive reviews for its visuals, soundtrack, and gameplay, and nominated for several year-end awards.

Gameplay

Sayonara Wild Hearts is a rhythm game broken into twenty-some levels. In each level, the player controls the main character as they automatically travel through an surrealistic landscape alongside a pop music soundtrack. The general mechanics of each level change, but in general the player attempts to guide the character to collect hearts across the level to each points, while avoiding obstacles. In some levels, the player will be prompted to press a button in time with the soundtrack to make a jump or avoid an obstacle. Other levels may require the player to move a cursor on screen to target a bow-and-arrow weapon to defeat enemies, in a manner similar to Rez. During the levels, the player will encounter different boss encounters, which will incorporate a mix of movement and timed button presses to avoid attacks. The player earns points for hearts collected, timing on button presses, and avoiding obstacles, and are rated on a bronze, silver, or gold rating for each. Should the player hit an obstacle or enemy projectile, they are returned to a checkpoint. If the player fails to clear a section after a few tries, the game provides a means for the player to skip that section, only losing out on possible points that could be earned.

Plot

Show/hide text

In an alternate universe watched over by three divine arcana of the Tarot (The High Priestess, The Hierophant, and The Empress), a cursed arcana (Death), and her allies (The Devil, The Moon, The Lovers, The Hermit) stole all harmony, and hid it in their hearts. Before the divine arcana begun to fade, they created a heroine from the shards of a broken heart.

In a time near the present, there is a young woman who's heart has been violently broken. The heroine the divine arcana created transforms into a butterfly and flies to the young woman, who is resting in bed. The butterfly transports her to the alternate universe. Riding her longboard along an ethereal highway, she chases the butterfly, and upon capturing it, she transforms into a masked heroine (The Fool).

She then falls through a passage and arrives in a purple and pink city. She summons a motocycle, and begins to ride through it. Weaving through cars, trams and buildings, she meets a trio of masked women, the Dancing Devils. They fight on the street, before riding through the city on motocycles. The heroine chases and defeats each member of the trio in turn, and takes back their hearts. The heroine then travels to a mythical forest. With the help of a stag, she rides through the forest and meets the Howling Moons, a quartet of masked women. After she chases them the quartet transform into a pack of wolves, and the heroine equips her motobike with dual automatic guns. The masked quartet jump into a large mechanical cerberus and a battle ensures, but the heroine destroys their mech, and claims the quartet's hearts.

The heroine is then transported to a tower, and upon climbing it, is transported to a floating city. She meets and fights a masked foe with a sword, who splits into two people, the Stereo Lovers. The foes then switch up the universe they are in every couple of seconds, but the heroine learns to do the same, and chases the duo through the city. She defeats them on top of a plane and claims their heart, before travelling to a desert. Driving a car through the night, she meets Hermit64, a foe wearing a virtual reality headset as a mask. The heroine travels into the hermit's virtual reality world, and obtains the heart trapped inside. Sailing across an ocean, she then arrives in a dark and rainy city.

There she meets a masked foe with a scythe, Little Death. The foe sends flying skulls after the heroine, but she summons a bow and shoots them down. She then defeats Little Death, but the foe's heart fragments reassemble into a gigantic final monster. After defeating it, the heroine transforms back into her former self, the young woman. She then imagines herself as each of her former foes, and proceeds to fight each in turn. Instead of defeating them however, she forgives them with a brief kiss. The divine arcana then tell the young woman that she has restored harmony to their world, and wish her farewell. She rides back to her world on her skateboard and arrives slightly older, but right back into her groove.

Reception

Sayoanara Wild Hearts received "generally favorable reviews" according to review aggregator Metacritic. The game was generally praised for its visuals and soundtrack.

The game's soundtrack was critically acclaimed. PlayStation Universe thought the soundtrack was "absolutely outstanding", and the best soundtrack of any game released in 2019. TheSixthAxis considered the soundtrack to be "an album for the ages", but felt that some of the tracks could have been longer. Edge thought that track Mine sounded like "a parallel-universe chart-topper", while The World We Knew "a gorgeous, swooning, sigh of a ballad." DualShockers felt that the vibrant visuals of the game "perfectly mesh with the positive vibes of the music", and thought that perhaps Sayonara could mark a beginning for artists to create interactive visual albums.

Nicole Clark of Vice thought that the ending of Sayonara was a departure from the usual hero's journey in a fictive narritive. "Rather than becoming your mask, you abandon it. Rather than becoming someone new and unbreakable you recover to the point of self-acceptance."
