    Fantatic game finally out physically on the Nintendo Switch. I already own this digitally but I bought this for the shelf. Looks gorgeous on it, too.

    I'm a big fan of this game, bought it when it originally came out on PC then repurchased it with the Switch release. The game is gorgeous, plays like a 2D zelda with less emphasis on items and just raw combat and exploration. The soundtrack is amazing, visuals stunning, and combat difficult but fair. This collectors edition is for the fans, including the OST on disks and other trinkets that fans will enjoy having for their collection.

    Sent in a bubble mailer and box is crushed. Best buy needs to do better with shipping collectables as they almost always arrive damaged. Game itself is great.

    What a game. Hyper Light Drifter is a throwback and kove letter to the roguelikes and adventure games of the NES era, in particular TLOZ. It's beautiful visuals evoke a melanchoky emotion while its music (by the extremely talented Disasterpeace) makes you feel wonder.

    Great game, reminds me a lot of link to the past, definitely recommend if you like retro style games. This collector’s edition is very nice and well worth the price in my opinion. I’ve waited for a physical copy to play this game and it doesn’t disappoint.

    Not a Game I Expected

    This is not a game I expected. The story is dauntingly beautiful with an in-depth story without the usage of dialogue. Even with simple instructions, the player can still feel lost with the confusing gameplay. However, there are always ways to improve and upgrade which entices the player to keep going. The environment, music, sound design, etc are phenomenally done and add to the overall dark yet beautiful theme of this game. If you appreciate pixel platform games with a deep story then this game might be for you. Play this game if you have the chance.

    I've held out for the physical release since the announcement of the kickstarter, and thankfully this game doesn't disappoint. The combat is challenging with enough checkpoints to keep the game from becoming frustrating. The excellent soundtrack flows from ambient to dynamic and fits well with the game. The highlights of the physical pack-ins are the 28-track original soundtrack and the Rosetta stone for translating monoliths for additional lore.

    Wow just wow this game is amazing, short but amazing and worth playing. This game play like the older Zelda from snes game with the top view. But this Is a little challenging than Zelda. Just give this game a try and trust me you’ll like it.

    You owe it to yourself to give Hyper Light Drifter a go. It’s an incredible game with a wonderful look and feel to every part of it. It’s beautiful, looking great on the Switch’s screen, and can be surprisingly enveloping as an experience even as you take it to louder, crowded public areas. Every new area and experience was a delight to me, and I kept taking screenshots all the way through. It’s a challenge, but every moment was worth it.

    This is absolutely worth it! This game has been out for years but having a physical version plus bonus goodies is worth a double dip for me. Also there is no day one update so it truly is complete!
