Hyper Light Drifter is one of the most beautiful games you will ever play. Inspired by the life of its lead designer, Alex Preston, it’s presented in a 2D pixelated style comparable to Capybara Games’ Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP.

Preston has congenital heart disease and has often been hospitalised with problems related to his illness, he says the game is an attempt to express something very personal with the audience, conveying the emotions of his life-altering condition.

He also says that the game is a combination of The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Diablo, if that doesn’t sell it to you, I don’t know what will.
