Back when the PlayStation 5 first arrived, it came with updates for many PS4 games giving them enhanced graphics modes with better resolution and a higher frame rate. Despite the PS5 getting close to five-years-old now, one of the best music games ever is getting an exclusive update for the console that also adds an entirely new way to play.
Developer Simogo describes its Sayonara Wild Hearts as a “pop album video game.” The entire game is set to a roughly hour-long album, with each track dedicated to its own level. It’s not exactly a typical rhythm game, in that you don’t always have to move on the beat. Instead, it feels more like an endless runner, challenging you to collect as many glowing neon hearts as possible across its rapidly moving levels, only occasionally requiring timed button presses, usually to avoid attacks from the game’s masked antagonists.
