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.

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

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.

God dammmmmm!!!!
What a game!
There is nothing in this game that feels bad in my opinion.
The world and graphics are so phenomenally beautiful, the combat feels responsive and fluid, and the vague story fits the atmosphere perfectly, but the holy grail of this game is it's music! It's so different and unique to anything I've every heard and I love it.! This is a must play if you enjoy action adventure games
