April 2020 • Macworld 53- Sayonara Wild Hearts
Sayonara Wild Hearts is a psychedelic, music-
driven fever dream. It’s technically a rhythm game,
but it says sayonara to that game’s abstractions
in favour of a trippy story about a woman saving
the world on her motorcycle. She flies through
crevasses, collects hearts, carefully times jumps
and spatters bullets into towering robot dogs while
catchy pop songs thump in the background. Some
levels are better than others, and the frequent
change in perspective occasionally makes it hard to
reorient yourself the first time you play a level. But
this is every bit the ‘art house’ type of game Apple
Arcade should champion and have more of.
