The over-world and subterranean dungeons are excellently designed and look amazing. The music helps to establish the setting and sits in the background rather than be a bombastic addition. While I personally found some tracks were a little whiny and not my cup of tea, they were mostly offset with tracks that I loved. Hyper Light Drifter features a soft synthetic soundtrack that helps to perfectly set the mood and tone. While earlier levels aren’t boring by any means, mini-bosses would have been nice to see. They helped to break up the monotony of the level and add an extra flair of challenge. The final zone features mini-bosses and that’s something I wish the earlier levels included too. Bosses may seem intimidating at first, but after you learn their attack patterns you can make short work of them. Hyper Light Drifter manages to find that perfect sweet spot of challenging but not overwhelming.
