This stands in stark contrast with all other aspects of the game, where everything was polished to a perfect sheen. While I enjoyed the punishing combat of Hyper Light Drifter, one issue that continued to crop up for me while I played the game was that the combat didn’t feel smooth and organic. You’ll need to constantly be cognizant of all the enemies on the screen, their preferred methods of attacking and how you can mix your dash and combo attacks in order to dispatch them while still somehow managing to stay alive. Hyper Light Drifter’s combat isn’t merely difficult, the sheer number of enemies spawned, their unique attack patterns and dangerous mix of close combat and ranged attacks, means that the game is absolutely punishing when you make a single mistake. The enemies that populate the world are varied and deadly, each with unique attack patterns and overwhelming numbers. While the world of Hyper Light Drifter is beautiful and a joy to explore, player are reminded around every bend and turn that the world is much more than just eye candy. When combined with a unique art style that brings the world to life, Hyper Light Drifter manages to mix both art and narrative together into a flawless experience.

Not only is there an overarching story, the world is chock full of small scenes that add to the atmosphere of the game. Hyper Light Drifter is able to create stories and relay them to the player without words, letting the players explorations and the environment organically create a story in their own minds. Each environment that you explore has a hidden story to tell, and this may be Hyper Light Drifter’s strongest points. You’ll find abandoned camping grounds overrun by monsters, its previous inhabitants belongings strewn across the map, and large, imposing machines and golems that have long since been defunct.
Not only is it beautiful to look at, the environments are incredibly detailed adn you’ll find small stories hidden around every corner. One of Hyper LIght Drifter’s greatest strengths, is the world that is has managed to craft and create. THe world that Hyper Light Drifter drops you into is a dangerous one, with traps, bombs, deadly monsters and hard to access secrets. Hyper Light Drifter is reminiscent of old school top down Zelda games, where you traverse a dangerous overworld, dive into dark dungeons and fight off deadly monster after deadly monster. The lush world and detailed environment hides stories around every single corner, as you dash, slash and explore the world that Heart Machine has created. Hyper Light Drifter is perhaps one of the most beautiful indie games to have been released this year.
