I still don't know what I missed in the east, because it felt like I require some sort of far jump in order to progress.
Finished it without a struggle (pathfindig wise). I oticed the north is beginner friendly, too. The Boss is probably the hardest of the three so you can use the practice you gather from the former areas to not lose your patience here. Kinda confusing to navigate through but a tad better than in the East. The biggest level with swarms of difficult enemys (Green Wolve Packs, Samurais who dodge your gun). The boss is the easiest because he is the only one that got a severe weakpoint wich can be exploitet. The level design is a bit confusing, the enemys are not easy to deal with but still easier as the ones that wait in the West. The boss is not easy for beginners but the bosses are all pretty hard on the first try. It's the easiest enemy wise (except for the Big Shaman Birds) and the least confusing one the navigate through. My recommendation on choosing your way is:įirst - North Zone. Saying you need it a lot is clearly an overstatement. I can only think of 2 areas in the whole game where you need the Chain-Dash to progress. I'd also go East 1st because you get the most helpful gun (IMO) from that boss. Something as essential as the keys to understanding the story shouldn’t be hidden behind so much busywork.Originally posted by mlands3:You kinda need the chain dash to open a LOT of the game. At their worst, you’re required to throw yourself against each and every wall just to alleviate the anxiety you might miss a hidden opening, or path of proximity triggered, invisible platforms. At their best we’re given a clue, like a ledge that seemingly has no other purpose, and keen observation is rewarded. While this genre has a long and proud history of secrets hidden in this fashion, and I did enjoy them at first, the way these story fragments are frustratingly stashed in each of the world’s four regions became increasingly annoying. What few direct answers do exist are trapped inside monoliths hidden in secret coves and behind locked doors.

Again, I can’t really be sure how it all fits together exactly, because though I have my theories, they’re just interpretations of a stylish, intriguing series of events and images that never fully makes good on its grand setting. “I gathered bits and pieces of the story: an apocalypse, an illness, time travel, and a mysterious dog all play a part. For me, all this reinforced the idea of drifting through time and space because for a large part of Hyper Light Drifter I was grasping for a handhold as to what the hell was going on. Its repeating, dreamlike cutscenes are cryptic. Interacting with an NPC conveys information in storyboard-like sequences.
Its storytelling is a wordless experience that requires interpretation. It takes a commendable risk with its bold storytelling that intrigues, but doesn’t fully pay off in the end. And while I wouldn’t consider Hyper Light Drifter overly hard – I was able to defeat most bosses on my first or second encounter, with the exception of two disproportionately difficult ones – I would also shy away from calling it a style-over-substance kind of experience. But most impressively, they’re all optional – to the point where you can finish Hyper Light Drifter’s roughly seven-hour campaign without purchasing any upgrades at all, if you’ve got the raw skill to pull it off. That adds flavor to the combat systems without overcomplicating things. “With the exception of a grenade ability, these upgrades don’t introduce completely new mechanics, but instead only add interesting elements to your beginning skills.
