Ambiguous storytelling at its greatest.
My favourite game of all time, had me hooked from start to finish with it's incredible pixel artstyle, fluid movement and impactful combat. The game is challenging but fair, no death feels unjustified and payoff when you succeed is all the more rewarding. In the same way the puzzle aspects as well as hidden secrets feel perfectly crafted and incredibly satisfying to crack. Finally the sound design: Disasterpeace, the artist behind the OST conveys every story beat with perfection and has you on the edge of your seat at all points. All these things bring the world of hyperlight drifter to life and inspire the imaginations of players in ways that stick with you even years down the line.
