Let's Play: Hyper Light Drifter - Part 1 - Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge
Welcome to part 1 of my playthrough of Hyper Light Drifter!
Usually I have a fun little "what if?" thing here, but this game sort of defies that little gimmick. Mostly because it was an origin game for many others that followed: in style, in method, in combat, in ambiguity. Playing this has been so informative of how many other games I've played that take inspiration from Hyper Light Drifter.
Near as I can tell, some Real Bad Stuff happened in The Past, and we're in a just-starting-the-rebuild scenario, and we are indeed thrown in media res not once, but twice! First is when we get to pilot our lil drifter, but again when they pass out and are saved by a Mysterious Stranger. The cut scenes are wild and menacing, we occasionally barf up black stuff, and everything outside of town effectively wants to kill us.
All I know is that I have to find a whole bunch of triangles. I don't even know why I'm doing that, other than that's what I was told to do. That's fine, right?
