Exploration is key, discovery is splendid, and it's all a really rather superb time. The fighting is surprisingly tricky, waves of enemies in small locations, early on when your arsenal is limited and your skills unhoned. Ridiculously lovely pixel graphics that are constantly breathtaking, a clever world that evokes classic 8- and 16-bit classics, elements of Zelda, but with a hefty focus on Nuclear Throne-like combat. Hyper Light Drifter is absolutely wonderful. ![]() A game I was absolutely adoring is now a game I can't play at all, because of a wildly difficult boss fight. I've ranted about boss fights SO many times, and argh, it's happened again. I've done that now, and my mea culpa and further thoughts are here. I could have gone in other directions and played more of the game.
