No words are exchanged in Hyper Light Drifter. There is no penalty for backtracking, and getting around the world is easy with centrally located fast-travel points in every area. Like some cheap Robert Frost knock-off, you’ll often be presented with two, three, four paths (and an invisible bridge) at once, and sorry, but you could not travel them all. Hidden paths, tricky routes, and invisible platforms abound, and it’s best to embrace the wandering mentality early. You’re not expected to know where to go the game delights in that uncertainty.įrom the macro-level of not really understanding the critical path, or even your overall goal, to the micro-level of discreet portions of stage design, exploration is key. ![]() After waking up in a quaint hamlet set square in the center of the map, a tool-tip may nudge you towards the north, but there isn’t any reason you can’t go west, or east, or south, or just hang out in the village and marvel at the character and design of its shopkeeps. ![]() Hyper Light Drifter sets the player off to explore a dying world without much direction.
