Understand Hyper Light Drifter's Lore In A Minute
Hyper Light Drifter is a gorgeous and enthralling game that released earlier this year, but it's safe to say that its storytelling is ambiguous. YouTube show Lore In A Minute!, which gives a rundown of several franchises' histories and backstories, hopes to enlighten you on exactly what's going on in the game.
What happened to this once beautiful land? Can it be restored to its former glory? What is your role in this story? To better understand the answers to these questions, watch the video below.
For more on Hyper Light Drifter, read our interview with the developer Heart Machine about what makes the game difficult and how it's not a roguelike. Also be sure to check out this SNES-styled collector's edition of the game.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
