If not, you might feel like you’re banging your head against an incredibly pretty brick wall. If you have the will to overcome its many trials you’ll find a rewarding, uncompromising action game. But the unwavering difficulty-especially the bosses-makes it an experience for a very specific type of gamer. And the exhilaration of clearing a dungeon with only a sliver of health left is a feeling worth chasing. The visual design and music are stunning. The elegant, expressive animation makes fighting and traversing the world a joy. There’s a lot to love about Hyper Light Drifter. It’s not a dead world-there are people and creatures everywhere, some of which are friendly-but it feels like you're exploring the wake of some incredible disaster. A ruined place littered with the remains of advanced, long forgotten technology. An evocative intro sequence shows you glimpses of a cataclysmic event-a gleaming futuristic city disappearing in a flash of explosive light-and this seems to be the aftermath. It’s a world of strange machines, ethereal forests, ancient temples, and lifeless, overgrown robots. There’s a beguiling mystery about this shadowy figure, like the nameless gunslinger in a Western or a wandering samurai, and the same can be said of Hyper Light Drifter as a whole.

Occasionally he hunches over and coughs up blood, which causes the screen to glitch and flicker. He roams a broken landscape searching for something, but it’s not really clear what. The drifter, a mute warrior draped in a red cloak and wielding a sword made of light, is an enigma.
