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. Keep an eye out for small ledges that you can dash to they often hold little secret items and health vials, making exploration extremely rewarding. Health drops are often scarce and require the player to explore to find them hidden behind something or in a room off to the side. I’ve lost count of the many times I’ve thought a particular room was too hard to beat, but by rethinking my strategy and using everything at my disposal, I pulled through. Everything is balanced right in the middle.
This design decision allowed the team to create and balance a wonderful game that never makes you question whether or not you have enough health for an area or cause a zone to feel too easy because you have so much.
While you can maximize the number of health vials you can store, you are unable to increase the size of your health bar. Oddly enough but most importantly, health isn’t upgradable.
