Interesting work

It has a retro touch, not only by the graphic design, but also by the gameplay, the atmosphere and the hidden areas. Feels like between a NES and a megadrive game, where first you don't really know what to do, neither where to go. And you discover a little bit more by playing over and over. Some phases are quite hard like it use to be on those consoles. A good metaphor of the disease of the dev. I did not really like the repetitive with simple patterns musics, but they manage somehow to add a bit of atmosphere to this 0 dialog game. Overall it is a mix of many good old games (zelda, diablo, shinobi3...) with its own touch that you should try. I could have put a five star for the linux support which is working perfectly on Xubuntu 14.04. Just install the libs in the description with "sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libasound2:i386 ..."

Placid Dark Native

This game has a widely known bug where the game slows to a crawl on the 60 fps. I bought it at the Humble Store DRM-Free. The windowed aspect ratio only works as a tiny box, with no options for 1920x1080, for example. The gameplay leaves much to be desired--with so much dodging, there is no dodge-strike, and the lag window between dodge and strike is very long. Sometimes the color of the ground is the same as the character, and you lose where you are during fights. The title is very ironic, since the 60 fps bug is so sluggish, and there's so much backtracking and wandering around trying to find yellow upgrade symbols, so I like to call it Placid Dark Native, the antonym of its claims. No more sliding rock dash puzzles for me, no way. No more pink neon. Glad I paid $6.80 for this I'm dodge rolling it into the bin.

Pretty trash

Hyper Light Drifter is pretty. The art is great, and so is the audio. Everything else about Hyper Light Drifter is awful. The timing of everything is so demanding you'll easily run out of health packs. You can't get more health from foes, so you're inveitably forced into situations where you have to die over and over until you can progress to the next health pack. You will get better, but then there's always something new for the jerk who designed this mess to try and smash your face into. It's exhausting. The main character of Hyper Light Drifter is already more exhausted than you. Every time you die you're forced to watch him pull himself back together through the same miserable respawn animation over and over again. Why would I want to keep playing this supid atrocity when even the main character doesn't appear to have any motivation beyond "my suffering ends if I make it to the end!!!!" It doesn't help that the controls feel terrible. There's so much nonsense in the environment to get caught on, to waste a shot accidentally shooting, to get stuck or thrown behind so you can't even see yourself. Pretty environments are no substitute for competent level design. What a waste.

Very atmospheric

The music right from the start got me hooked and I couldn't put it down for hours. Spent a lot of time just looking at the scenery.

Not worth your time

Uninspired gameplay, clunky controls, dull """puzzles""" It's too bad that the amazing art and music is completely wasted on a game with unenjoyable gameplay
