The fusion of music and gameplay reminds me of music games like Rez from 2001 or that wacky and artistic “ Take On Me” music video by A-Ha in 1985.Ĭheck out our Reviews Vault for past game reviews. So begins an imaginative title from Swedish indie developer Simogo and publisher Annapurna, which has a knack for finding some of the most creative indie games being made.

As you take control of The Fool, you speed along on a motorcycle with in a tunnel-like view of the horizon. She sets out to restore the harmony of the universe hidden away in the hearts of her enemies. A tarot card pops up and dubs her The Fool, transporting her into an alternate universe which she has to save. In Sayonara Wild Hearts, you play as a young woman who suffers a heartbreak. But I don’t mind because this dream-like game has a wide range of original pop songs, and some of them are pretty good. I’ve played all 23 levels, and I scored bronze or silver in them.

It’s a high-adrenaline game where you tap, jump, maneuver to collect little hearts in a beautiful neon-and-black landscape.
