## Hyper Light Drifter Reviews in United States

### **--- "Reminds me too much of something else"
It was hard to enjoy. I hope I’ll like the game more down the line, but currently I don’t like it.
-- Those_are_minerals_Marie!!!, 2024-11-18

### ***** "Really polished"
Great feel and gameplay. Just started but I feel I finally found a game I can sink a good amount of time in with a controller
-- Omikun, 2024-10-09

### ***** "Amazing"
I'm loving it so far
-- Original SnowX, 2024-09-17

### ***** "Great game for mobile"
For a this normally console/pc game I'm impressed how well it translates to mobile. 
stunning gameplay and graphics 
this game is beautiful
-- CoSmlc4Duckie, 2024-08-07

### ***** "Charming and replayable"
I keep coming back. Graphics are delightful . The game is challenging and fun even if you don’t have the required patience to find all the secrets yourself. I resorted to watching a walkthrough or two. The game unfolds gradually and the story emerges without any text.
-- Breedlove Design, 2024-07-06

### ***** "AMAZING!"
This game is really the coolest. I love the atmosphere so much and the gameplay manages to be both simple and engaging. 

The art is absolutely beautiful with vivid colors and creative environments. You can really see the inspiration from older classic games in the retro style, yet it also feels new and innovative. 

It's just a joy to play. Whether it's progressing the plot, wandering around admiring the scenery, or searching for secret passageways  (which there are many to be found), it is a very enjoyable experience.
-- Nick-dued, 2024-06-15

### ***** "One of the best games of all time."
I’ve played this game on every platform, and it never gets old.
-- Dysun, 2024-05-21

### ***** "One of the best games ever made"
Got this game on Switch a few years back and it became an instant favorite. For only $5 this port is an actual steal. Buy it immediately.
-- hyffhjdtyfjnfdrt, 2024-05-11

### ***** "Best game ever"
Best game ever
-- Toorkild, 2024-05-04

### ***** "stunning."
Absolutely beautiful. Takes “a picture is worth a thousand words” to the next level.
-- Sebastian8864, 2024-04-24
