Sayonara Wild Hearts is a dreamy arcade game about riding motorcycles, skateboarding, dance battling, shooting lasers, wielding swords, and breaking hearts at 200 mph. As the heart of a young woman breaks, the balance of the universe is disturbed. A diamond butterfly appears in her dreams and leads her through a highway in the sky, where she finds her other self: the masked biker called The Fool.

Our Expert Score
Sayonara Wild Hearts is essentially a playable pop album, and I mean that in the best way possible. From the second the opening track starts, you are whisked away into a neon-soaked fever dream that is as much a feast for the ears as it is for the eyes. Simogo has crafted something truly special here—a game that feels like a concentrated burst of pure style and emotion. It’s short, yes, but every second is polished to a mirror sheen.
The way the game shifts genres on the fly—going from a motorcycle chase to a VR-inspired rhythm shooter to a gravity-defying flight—without ever losing its rhythm is a masterclass in game design. It captures the feeling of heartbreak and the subsequent path to healing with an abstract, symbolic narrative that resonates deeply. Even if you aren't a fan of rhythm games, the aesthetic alone is worth the price of admission. It's the kind of game you finish in one sitting and then immediately start over just to experience the vibe again.
