A fantastic, yet flawed game

You know some of those games that when you play it it absolutely blows you away? Hyper Light Drifter is one of those games. You start of with little to no explanation. Just a quick overview of the controls. There is actually no text apart from this tutorial in the game. The story is told to images and level design and much like dark souls you have to imagine the story in your head and come up with theories yourself. Because of the lack of explanation you have a different sense of exploration than in most games. Many indie games use pixel optics because they are not able to draw proper graphics and because of time restrains. While this might be true of Hyper Light Drifter, I never felt like it. The pixel look actually added to the atmosphere with the beautiful hand drawn sprites and amazing animations. The electronic soundtrack is also just amazing and sets a big part of the games mood. The combat is very slick it just feels right, for the most part (later more to that), you have to avoid enemy attacks, strike at the right moment and boy, this game is hard! But it usually doesn't feel frustrating because, unlike dark souls, there isn't such a big penalty for death and you start at the beginning of the room. Only in some instances it starts to become annoying, for example when you only have one healthpack left to fight a lot of enemies. So why only 4 stars? While this game is amazing, there are of course some problems: While the controls are responsive and for the most part work very good, there are some engine limitations which make some fight, especially boss fights unfair. For example when you dash out of the way of a big attack and you clearly see you were out of the way but you still get hit. This makes some boss fights a bit of a gamble and you just have to try until you are lucky. Overall I had quite fun playing this game but at some points it really was frustrating. It is amazing but has it's flaws.

Great Indie Title

Great game and at times it can be punishing. The good - Loads of well hidden secrets to find - Tough, but rewarding - Excellent game mechanics - Unique story telling method - Solid game pad controls, 90% of the time - Atmospheric - Minus a few glitches, seems well polished The bad - Beat it in 10 hours, could probably do it in less without exploring - You get hit after you've been knocked down, usually results in death - Crashed 6-7 times in the 10 hours I played - Retry button in crash dialog doesn't ever work - Specific area in the south, that if you collect a piece and then die before getting another save, it'll transport you back to the piece, which would be fine but there is no way to get out of the area since the platforms disappear

An indie title with incredible heart

I purchased this game on Steam but want to support the developer on GOG Galaxy where I'll be doing all my purchases going forward; Steam has lost its way. I agree with reviewers who say the keyboard + mouse control method is subpar; I will admit though that because I knew what kind of game it was going in, I did not use kb+mouse for more than 5 minutes. I would recommend the developer improve this control scheme for their next IP. I disagree with any reviewers complaining about 30 FPS lock; this criticism is irrelevant. This is a 2D RPG and a throwback to 8-bit and 16-bit games. Frames per second does not impact gameplay. An extremely challenging game (for me) but rewarding with persistance. The gorgeous and mystic art paired with the minimalist approach to lore and world-building left me aching to explore and try and learn more. One of the best "modern" 2D RPGs.

Best Game Ever

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.
