Hyper Light Drifter Review
First off, what a mistake I have made by not playing Hyper Light Drifter until 2022. Hyper Light Drifter came out in 2016 from Heart Machine, a small indie studio from the LA that consisted of around 15 people at the time of the games release.
What I didn’t realize was until now thanks to the new docu-series from Noclip is that Heart Machine is a breath of fresh air in an industry that can be toxic and unsustainable. Heart Machine was also founded by Alx Preston who was born with a heart condition that has required open heart surgery at a young age. Rather than focus on limitation, Alx has tried to embrace every single day and the people that he has surrounded himself with at Heart Machine are a very diverse and passionate group that want to enjoy life but make some cool games in the process.
