To me, Hyper Light Drifter is an all-time legendary game. Gameplay is perfect. The atmosphere is perfect. The soundtrack is absolutely perfect. The game is just perfect.
My gut reaction to this is not good. I don't see how a 3D game could ever achieve the same level of greatness and immersion that HLD did. They set a ridiculously high bar with HLD and I'm sad tobsee that the next iteration from Heart Machine won't expand on the foundations they laid. I can't help but feel disappointed after seeing this but regardless I'm absolutely willing to see what they pull off with this. Fingers crossed.
I felt this way about Risk of Rain 2 and I was proven wrong. I'm willing to wait and see.
