Critic reviews
- Even though Wild Hearts S sat in our review queue unclaimed for weeks (usually a sign that a game is nothing special), my wife and I haven't been able to put it
- 8.5HIGH The karakuri system adds a fresh, welcome twist to combat and exploration. LOW I'm not in love with most of the crafted armor set designs.
- 8.5But what are the tradeoffs?
- 8.02 1/2 years after its original launch, Wild Hearts has found a second life on Nintendo Switch 2
