Hyper Light Drifter is a game about exploration, patience, and experience. You will die a hundred and one times and there is no shame in that, thankfully the game is a non-linear quest, so you'll have "free will" to do whatever you want and train your skills in other places before you can beat a greater enemy. It blends the old-school art style of the 8-bit and 16-bit era and the post-apocalyptic cyberpunk style of this era.

Pros:

  • Beautiful art.<br
  • Responsive controls with a gamepad.
  • Enemies that never feel repetitive.
  • Easy learning curve.
  • Interesting story.

Cons:

  • Difficult to master without a gamepad (Xbox 360 controller).
  • Dying becomes tedious, at some point.

Do you recommend this game?

  • YES!

Rating:

  • 8.6 / 10
