Thread to discuss Hyper Light Drifter, or as you may know it, the faux-retro indie darling of 2016.

I backed this when it was on Kickstarter, so I got a key on release, and I gotta say, it's pretty nice-looking. There's a huge open world that used to be full of giants but is now full of derelict and death, and the hyper light drifter's slicing and shooting monsters on the way to find a cure for their hyper light cancer or something. Apparently it involves collecting triangles and killing bird people.
Pros:
-Good art style
-Cool atmosphere and world building
-Gameplay is responsive and feels pretty good
Cons:
-Runs at 30fps, which sucks for an action RPG
-When it's not fast-paced combat, it's long cutscenes, slow atmospheric walking moments, slow tedious respawn animation
-Game journalists will talk about it long enough for it to get annoying, but not long enough for us to actually learn something interesting

Pick one and only one

Fair point
I pick 30fps, because it does get bothersome eventually

Just a bump, because just recently they updated the entire game to make it run at 60fps. It really is a lovely game.

I've only had time to just barely touch this title but I'm really excited to play through it, it's really gorgeous and actually seems like a super decent, fun game. I really like when ~deep~ ~artsy~ or ~retro~ indie titles are actual fun games
