Another Sight vs Hyper Light Drifter
Another Sight
Another Sight is an intriguing, story-driven puzzle/adventure game that has a very Alice-in-the-Wonderland-esque vibe to it. In this game, you play as both Kit and her newfound feline companion, switching between them as you attempt to solve puzzles, unlock the next chapter, and eventually, help Kit escape from the bizarre underground world she fell into. The game features some pretty unique game mechanisms including cooperative play in a single player game, much like Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons, as well as the concept of being able to visualize sound and incorporate that into its gameplay.In a nutshell, Another Sight is a brilliant adventure game that not only showcased some pretty unique and innovative game mechanisms, but also a fantastic storyline that will keep you hooked from start to finish. Couple all of that with amazing graphics and realistic sounds, and you’ll get a truly immersive Alice-in-the-Wonderland-like adventure. Interested to give the game a try?

Hyper Light Drifter
Hyper Light Drifter is an action-adventure RPG with a very unique pixel-based art style and a fun gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. The storyline in this game is pretty bleak since you play as a drifter who happens to have an odd but vicious disease that keeps haunting your thoughts and dodging your every move. By traveling to the dark and savage lands of Buried Time, you hope to find a way to finally be free of this illness.Being ill, you aren't exactly in your fighting prime and so, instead of relying on your frailing strength, combat in this game mainly involves dashing away to avoid blows and trying to strike the enemy in between dashes. In some way, it may feel like being the less burly underdog in a WWE match. There are plenty of weapons to help you though, along with a variety of incredible skills which you can master.
The world you play in is also quite vast, with plenty of hidden nooks and crannies - usually with a bonus reward in them - for you to find. In addition to the story mode, there is a horde mode (endless) as well where you can truly put your combat skills to the test. However, one of the best things about this game is the soundtrack which somehow seems to complement the game's graphics and its overall atmosphere perfectly.
With the unique pixel art and the old-school feel, Hyper Light Drifter may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you do enjoy such games, you'll find that this game is truly a hidden indie gem.
