Hyper Light Drifter vs Rayman Adventures
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.
Rayman Adventures
Rayman Adventures is fun adventure-based platformer game by Ubisoft set in a fictional yet magical world where a crisis had just broken out. Apparently, the Incrediballs’ eggs that power the sacred tree as well as the fluffy Incrediballs themselves have been scattered across the land and it is now up to Rayman (controlled by you, of course) to set off on an adventure to seek them out and bring them all home. The gameplay in Rayman Adventures consist of a nice mix of fast-paced action and exploration, supplemented by the powers of the Incrediballs whom you have decided to bring along and aided with smooth and responsive controls. These Incrediballs are like pets in this game as well, so there are some caring that you'll need to do, such as feeding and playing with them. Eggs you've collected will also help your sacred tree to grow and the height of your tree is the indicator that the game uses to pit you against the other players on the leaderboard and to determine your rank.Rayman Adventure is part of Ubisoft's biggest casual franchise (aside from possibly its horse game that is) and as such, the game's quality is paramount. Unlike many other games though, this is something that this game has managed to achieve many times over. So, if platformers are your thing, this is a game you won't want to miss out. Try it now!
