Sayonara Wild Hearts is truly one of the most distinct and memorable pieces of interactive entertainment ever created. Like Scorps alluded to, it's as tough (if you're going for the Gold tiers) or forgiving as you want it to be, the art style and music transformations work in such tight coordination, and if you have an audiovisualizer light setup with Philips Hue Sync or another system, it beautifully maximizes what can be done with it. Every level exposes something different, from homages to 2D shooters, to fending off ghastly boss monsters, to flying on a surfboard card down a psychedelic fractal tunnel. There are many average/boring "music rhythm games" out there, but this is the complete opposite of them. Mostly family-friendly too, it's fun to watch someone else play.

I dare you to play the level "Dead of Night" and not come away moved.

And at this price? Unbelievable value.

Thanks, OP. Just picked up Outer Wilds after missing the discount before it left Game Pass. Saved a few bucks.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is a blast. Cheerful bubblegum soundtrack and -- my favorite part -- if you really get stuck on any given section, the game lets you skip it. I never had to, but I liked having the option!

Play for the experience, the psychedelic graphics, the sheer fun of it... but don't expect a huge challenge. It's just something neat to kick back with!

My Friend Pedro is a fantastic experience. Makes you feel like a total bad a$$. Lowest price ever on Xbox. I beat it on Game Pass, but must have it in my library for when I'm ready to go again.

Most likely pick up Sayonara Wild Hearts, played it while it was on (maybe still one) apple arcade. Loved it but it's really meant for a bigger screen and probably a lot more fun without touch controls. Plus that soundtrack is pretty awesome and will go great with my speakers.

Great score! I didn't realize this left game pass, but fortunately I have it in my Steam library! One of the most unique and addictive games I've played in a LONG time that I suggest to anyone that is even remotely interested in video games! Looking forward to modding the PC version for VR and the upcoming DLC coming up!

Hope you enjoy one of the best games ever made. Savor it, as you only get to play it for the first time once.

Another +1 for Sayonara Wild Hearts.

Listen to the soundtrack for the game. If you like it, buy the game, since the entire experience is elevated.

Developers today seem to forget how much music plays into the experience.

Melancholy, Excitement, Hype, Chill. All different kinds of stages. Gameplay is quite engaging if you're going to collect certain items, and going for higher scores.
