Hyper Light Drifter is special and has a lot of heart, but it's hard to ignore some of its opaque design decisions and janky combat. When you're feeling the combat, it's really good, but you can definitely tell when you're stretching the limits of how smooth the combat can be. Fortunately, I found the game to be relatively forgiving. From a completionist perspective, some of the combat challenges and secrets make you want to bang your head against the wall, but playing the game casually is an overall wonderful experience. Hyper Light Drifter has my favorite OST and the pixel art environments are breathtaking.
