Summary

Echoes of a dark and violent past resonate throughout a savage land, steeped in treasure and blood. Hyper Light Drifter is an action adventure RPG in the vein of the best 16­-bit classics, with modernized mechanics and designs on a much grander scale.

Gonna finish it someday with my brother.

Very fun and challenging game with a unique storytelling style. The only thing that could be made better is the length of the game. Overall very good.

Hyper Light Drifter. This is a title I have very mixed feelings towards. On the one hand, I loved it. I loved all the different weapons, I loved the boss fights and the pacing of the game, as well as the visuals and music. Really hit the nail on the hand in those regards. I even went back to hunt the platinum trophy after finishing it, that was how much I enjoyed it. I wanted to experience everything, overcome every obstacle. But, on the second hand, after doing all that I ended up with 1 achievement left, that was just too hard and so disgustingly unfun that I just couldn't do it. I'm obviously talking about the 800 dashes in a row achievement. This 1 achievement is so unbelievably fucked, and bear in mind I played on PS4. That means I even had to dash around in a circle the entire time, not even being able to do left and right like you'd be able to on PC. Even then this achievement is just disgusting. So, sadly, I can't give this game the 9/10 I feel it deserves. Solely because of that one achievement, I'm dropping it down to 7.5/10. Still had a great time, but fuck did it leave a bitter taste in my mouth, even after all this time.

Super clunky controls, super lazy combat. Beautiful game but I didn't really enjoy it.
