Sayonara Wild Hearts is like if someone made the crazy twisty Mario Kart 8 courses into a playable music album and it is just an awesome experience. So lovely that I immediately played through it again after finishing. {I do wish the continuous mode you unlock after finishing the game was just the original experience}

This game is so fast-paced, dazzling and creative. The gameplay is precisely the right amount of engaging to let the banger soundtrack and incredible visual spectacle shine. I adore the style here and quite literally enjoyed every second.

It's amazing how the heart collectibles throughout each stage are the exact thing needed to make the high-speed fair while also being the perfect way to test skill. I love the scaling collectible scoring system

I adore how much this game is optimized for sight-reading, they really nailed being able to react to things for the first time while they came at you at lightning speeds and surprise you in flashy ways.

Each level feels so distinct, yet the whole game is an incredibly cohesive experience. The variations in how you move and perspective shifts pack a lot of punch in adding subtle diversity

I have a favorite level, but that feels like a fundementally unfair concept given how good they all are.
