Hyper Light Drifter Review — G4@Syfygames

Grant Patterson writes:

"You don't see an indie game like Hyper Light Drifter very often, or at least, you see very few that do so well in accomplishing what they set out to achieve. Lots of indie games list influences and inspirations from titles that came before them, but very few actually nail what makes their influences tick quite like this game does — at least in terms of gameplay mechanics and style. However, in terms of presentation, Hyper Light Drifter is a thing of odd half-measures. It's beautiful to look at and listen to, but it's unnecessarily cryptic and obtuse in terms of narrative or direction. It's a fantastic game, but it's a frustrating one at times, and it's certainly not for everyone."
