** Spoilers Ahead - This video essay is best enjoyed after experiencing Sayonara Wild Hearts for yourself. **
One year after its release, I reflect on why Sayonara Wild Hearts continues to make such a strong impression on players. Underneath its bubblegum visuals and thumping electro-pop soundtrack is a game with a clear and worthy message about the process of healing from a broken heart.

Really great video! As someone who's a huge fan of the game, I actually hadn't spent that long analyzing it. You made me appreciate it in a whole different way. Keep up the good content :)

In truth, I only scratched the surface in the video when it came to analysis. The deeper I dug into Tarot Cards and the game's lyrics the more I came to appreciate how the game weaves its story. I didn't want the video to go on for too long though, plus, the best reading are always made independently. Glad you dug the video!

Beautifully written and also very well edited. I had heard great things about this game but now I’m actually going to play it thanks to your video.

Delighted to hear you enjoyed the video! The game is such a treat, could even be my favourite game of 2019 - hope you like it as much as I did.

Excellent video, man! You're an extremely talented writer and editor. Even now, knowing the themes of the game and the outcome, I still really want to sit down and play through it because you've sold it to me so well.

Wow, thank you for your kind words! I actually omitted plenty of scenes from the finale, plus there is a true sensation that you've been along for the spiritual ride, so even though I spoiled the ultimate outcome, it's still an immensely satisfying play.

you did a great job covering this! GJ The game is wonderful! when art and gaming are so properly valued and used to create... by their powers combined this is one great game :)

Thanks! Sayonara Wild hearts is one of those rare games where it feels like literally every aspect of it was carefully considered to fit it's theme and aesthetic.

You still doing videos mate? This is some truly great stuff!

A new job I got about a year ago has been swallowing up every second of my free time - due a nice long break very soon though and I've got plans for another video then. Really glad you're getting something out of my backlog though!
