The pieces that came together to create that satisfying scene are more often than not in perfect harmony, but Hyper Light Drifter’s merit is obfuscated, sometimes, by things that contradict its visual clarity. The ambient soundtrack whirred and whispered in my ear I stood on a peaceful platform in a beautiful, watery temple, the peace of the scene betrayed by the blood-stains and bodies. I had just nimbly dashed my way through a shuriken-wielding enemy, slicing him clean in two this had charged a full notch on my shotgun, and as I evaded the incoming swing of a katana with another dash – this one giving me the drop on my enemy – I unloaded a point blank shotgun blast into his back. What you are told is told with gory architecture and fleeting, beautiful cut-scenes.
The opening act of Hyper Light Drifter is perhaps the most difficult: you aren’t told much. It was a little way into my second attempt at the East dungeon when everything clicked into place for me.
