Hyper Light Drifter

A really great game! Has that Samurai Jack + Terraria feel to it. A quite challenging yet rewarding experience. It isn't very long, so to all you busy people out there, you won't have to spend hours upon hours of gameplay in order to get something out of it.

This is a fantastic game, great action, mysterious story, and unbelievable soundtrack. The 'however' on PC though is that I have to continually restart the game as it eventually lags / slow downs after encountering busy areas that it makes it impossible to fight. I have tried changing resolution, looking in config files but always will get slow down after 20-30mins. This shouldn't happen on a high end gaming PC. I wish the Devs had optimised it more.

The animation and level design in this game is magnificent. But the combat isn't an after thought either with difficult combat which makes the rewards all the more whorth while. If you were a fan of the top down zelda games on the SNES/GBA then this is a refined work of art taking that stye to new heights.

Hyper Light Drifter is one of those rare games that sticks with you long after the credits roll. Its gorgeous pixel art feels alive, with vibrant colors and intricate details that tell stories without a single line of dialogue. The gameplay is fast, fluid, and challenging in all the right ways, combining tight swordplay, tactical ranged attacks, and a dash mechanic that makes every fight feel dynamic. But what really drew me in was the atmosphere—it’s haunting, mysterious, and so beautifully enhanced by Disasterpeace’s incredible soundtrack. Every moment feels like it’s part of a larger, untold story, and exploring its world is as rewarding as mastering its combat. If you’re looking for a game that’s as much about feeling as it is about action, Hyper Light Drifter is an unforgettable experience.

This game is special to me. More then just beautiful or enjoyable. It is deeply meaningful to me. It touches me and I come back to play it again. I hope I can always get to play this game. For the rest of my life. Every now and then return to marvel and feel what the story makes me feel.
