This one is not for the faint of heart. Hyper Light Drifter is challenging, and the checkpoints feel pretty spread-out.

The minimalistic way in which the story is presented helps to push the player into exploring the world on their own while still clearly defining key objectives along the way.

The gameplay is solid and engaging, fast-paced, and colorful. The game's environments are beautiful without being harsh on the eyes.

If I had to pick one thing to complain about, it's that the soundtrack feels kinda' out of place for a lot of the action scenes in this game, especially during the boss fights. It's good music but the vibe is all wrong when you have a lot going on and it's just a weird funeral dirge.
