Hyper Light Drifter

tremenda obra de arte 100/10. 1000/10 tremenda obra maestra y good

Este juego es como esas películas a las que volvés después de unos años y te vuelve a mover el piso desde otro ángulo, ya con otro punto de vista y cosas vividas. Me voy a saltear toda la explicación de por qué es un producto pulido en todas sus aristas (jugabilidad, diseño de encuentros, narrativa, visuales, sonido e integración) para resaltar lo que lo hace distinto: que tiene una mirada autoral clara, consistente y sincera sobre la vida, como las obras de arte más ambiciosas. Casi obligatorio jugar con joystick btw

Easily in my top 5 favorite games ever made. If there's one thing that makes me want to swim in hot oil, its pointless, cheesy and predicable dialogue. Blatant exposition is a close second. Gives me the ol self-harm twinge every time. Most AAA games lean heavy on this nonsense, beat you over the head with it and assume youre too stupid to put the pieces of their stories together yourself. HLD does not do this. There is no dialogue, just little 8-bit blips, text [alien language, has been decoded since the game came out if you really want to know the story] and imagery. HLD tells the story of you, the drifter, discovering a city and its surrounding area that has been devastated by a war and a strange series of illnesses. You take it upon yourself to explore these places and fight your way to the heart of the corruption, discovering more about the society that once was. Gloomy solitude and a strange sense of peace follow you wherever you go. You learn that factions had vied for power, some militaristic, some religious, other scientific, and so on. As you go, you too start to fall ill and your exploration quickly becomes an ominous race against creeping death to just make sense of it all. The combat is incredibly satisfying and your weaponry and abilities compliment progression and gameplay almost perfectly. The music is fantastic and had a lot of time and effort put into it by Disasterpeace. The world building, despite being a pixel/8-bit looking game, is elite. The more time you spend exploring and studying and re-reading or re-watching, the more will jump out at you and the more you'll realize in that squishy little brain of yours that, yes, John was right. This was, in fact, worth playing. Remember the movie The Revenant? For me, The Revenants combination of solitude, loss, the wide open and quiet spaces, the almost solemn and longing music, left me with such a unique feeling that I still don't know how to describe it. HLD does the same thing. Grasping at life at the end of the world, just trying to keep going one more step to do the right thing with everything falling apart around you. Forlorn hope. For being as simple as it is, and as cheap as it is, it it phenomenal. I wish I could go back and play it again for the first time. Another fun fact is that, if I recall correctly, the creator and owner of Heart Machine actually has a heart condition that may end up being fatal. The games core themes revolve around living with something that might kill you, yet persevering anyway. There's all kind of lore analysis videos on YT about it and the story and how those ideas interact, and for me it has always magnified the games value. 10/10, highly recommended.

Nice

ta bueno

Heart Machine RIP

Графика хоть и яркая и вцелом красивая, но интуитивно непонятная и в платформинге, и в исследовании, и в интерфейсе В игре не говорится ровно НИ ОДНОГО НАXУЙ слова, у челов нет имён, вместо них "мега необычные" "THE MAGICIAN". По крайней мере, так говорится в стиме. Исключением является лишь джаджмент/хэл Из-за отсутствия слов впринципе, элементы интерфейса в магазинах или в мире перестают иметь какой либо смысл. ну а ты догадайся что этот ромбик внутри квадратика на карте означает (НИ ЕДИНОГО CУКА СМЫСЛОВОГО ОРИЕНТИРА) Меня оттрахали в уши мега искажённой музыкой в первый (и последний) час игры. На это можно было бы закрыть глаза если бы не всё выше перечисленное Вердикт: игра кал
