EP 93: Heart and Soul (Hyper Light Drifter)

Episode 93 is a love letter to Hyper Light Drifter, a game that unexpectedly perfects the "super hard post-apocalyptic ambient hack and slash" genre that has rose to prominence on the strength of games like Dark Souls, Breath of the Wild and Nier. Joined by returning guest Justin, we break down how HLD delivers on the promise of those games in a way that is more fun and emotionally resonant while also delivering an amazing aesthetic experience. Also discussed: buying a GPU at a Burger King, the fear of death, difficulty in games and soundtrack recommendations
