The Drifter

phenomenal

Si pensás que las aventuras gráficas son para sentarse a tomar un té mientras combinás una banana con un destornillador...The Drifter vino a romperte el esquema. The Drifter agarra la fórmula clásica del género, le mete un shot de adrenalina, un tono thriller sucio y violencia cinemática de la buena.

Great game. Did not feel like it was too short.

Great pixels, Great story, Great voice acting. That's three Gs. If you need one more, great way to kill a weekend. Buy it.

## What I Liked - The core story and writing is phenomenal. It has weight and maturity that I didn't expect. - The controls! This is the best modern adventure game controls that I have every played, it is intuitive and makes it a joy to play through. - The visuals are great and though they are retro inspired, there is a fluidity to them that makes it feel modern. ## What I Didn't Like - There are a couple times where I'm just wandering around trying to think of what unique combination of actions would get me to progress. ## Gameplay A modern take on an adventure game in a way that a lot of others don't try to approach it. I mentioned it above, but the controls are just fantastic. You don't have to think much about how you are controlling the game and that let's you get totally immersed in what's happening. The world feels grimy and everyone you run across is a character you want to know more about. The gameplay with the flashbacks feels like you really are avoiding death, and they aren't afraid to show you the horrific fate if you don't outsmart the situation. What really ties this whole game together though is the main characters background and coming to terms with it. It's hard to find believable, flawed characters in games as they are often either the hero or a blank slate for you to project your imagination onto. In contrast, Mick is a human who makes selfish decisions which people would judge him on. You can see the life he had and the impact his choices made to those around him. ## Graphics & Sound Yes, it is another pixel art game, but what really sets it apart is how modern that art feels. It is high density and fluid, it feels alive instead of mechanical. The voice acting and music ties everything together. It imparts more than reading through the story beats ever could have, and that is exactly what I want out of an adventure game. ## Would I Recommend It? Yes, 100x yes. It is everything I would have wanted out of an adventure game and I think it's a great starting point to the genre if you haven't dived into them before. It is a complete game as well, it ties everything up and explores all the ideas it want's too. ### Who Should Skip It Those who just aren't willing to work with the adventure game format. I'm sure some would want more gameplay out of their games, which is totally fair, but this is an experience that only this format could provide. ## PC Spec CPU: i7-14700K Memory: 32GB Video Card: RTX 3080 Storage Type: NVMe Monitor resolution: 5120x1440
