    I spoke about how the world itself tells the story of this game in a video I done a long time ago, but you speak about it far more effectively. This game is absolutely fantastic and I think many people have forgotten about it unfortunately. The soundtrack is incredible as well. Fantastic game. Great video man, you deserve vastly more subs as your content is quality.

    HLD is one of the greatest games I've ever played. Yes, the gameplay and mechanics are good but more than that it has an atmosphere and mood that resonated very deeply with me in a way I can't really explain. You know a game is special when you just keep thinking about it way after you're done with it. I still find myself thinking about HLD now and then and it's been years since I played it.

    Not many games deserve a 10/10, but this game... it changes you... it legit made me want to become a game designer when I first played it. Fast forward to nowadays, I have ideas, I have an entire evolving world and Hyper Light Drifter is still a major influence on me. I can't tell you how hyped I was when I first saw the trailer for Hyper Light Breaker.

    after not having played this game in a while i decided to look up its name on youtube and your video was the first to be reccomended to me by youtube. i gotta say this was a pleasure to watch! you didn't make this unnecessarily long, you're getting directly to the point and i love that! you're highlighting the things that makes this game stand out and the details that make it a masterpiece in my opinion! just one thing i would have added, talking about the music! the game i salready beautiful and fun to play but the atmosphere that is created through the music alone is incredible

    You know what sucks? This is a game the fans are super passionate about (I will have my tattoo, damn it) but the one and only collectable video guide on TH-cam is incomplete. And yes, I've checked it, double-checked and checked again. Unless (and I just thought about this after obsessing for years) they don't give you enough of that hidden, golden currency to buy every upgrade but I feel like I was just short one or two. It's been a while. So I don't remember clearly.

    Ok Gamers, get ready to start hurling insults and all that. I love exploring stories in video games but just straight up suck at them. This game looks really interesting but your review tells me that on its face it's one I just won't enjoy. Is there an easy mode? Cheat codes? Anything that makes it playable for us life long weaklings?
    And any form of get good or you just have to practice will be ignored. I play video games to unwind, I will never put in the time or effort to get good at them. I am not the Dark Souls audience. I grew up on the old final fantasy games. I prefer turn based to frantic experiences.
