The story is told via environmental storytelling as opposed to any form of narration, with rich lore and stunning vistas. Playing as the titular Drifter, you enter a beautifully rendered pixel-art dystopian world as you attempt to free it from some sort of abomination.

We won’t do a full review, but it is a top-down run, slash and shoot masterpiece. You see, as stated earlier, Hyper Light Drifter is a great game. Which is what Collectors Editions are for. So, after a pre-order made in November, we finally got our copy this week – shipped in January we should add, but caught in all the pandemic/Brexit malarkey.

On top of that, Hyper Light Drifter – Special Edition for Nintendo Switch comes with a fair few goodies, including It is also rather reasonable, retailing at 49.95 Euros + postage (for Europe) and $59.99 in the US (via partner Limited Run Games).
Firstly, the initial pre-order run was set to 5,000 copies, which is standard, but was (and remains) readily available for ordering. This release was fairly attractive to us when we first saw it on social media. Both are hard to get hold of at a reasonable price. And iam8bit also put a physical version out a few years ago. There is a version available in East Asian markets. To be clear, this isn’t the first version of the game put out in a physical edition. Abylight is a Spanish publisher that has the rights to distribute a bundle of Heart Machine‘s 2016 classic.įirstly, the game is amazing (more on that later), and has been top of our “wanted in physical form” list for several years. This has meant that several games we have in our collections have slipped through our grasp because we just can’t justify the outlay.Įnter the Special Edition version of Hyper Light Drifter for Nintendo Switch, courtesy of Abylight Studios. It makes this sort of game collecting an expensive business and hard to participate in.

If you want a “Collector’s Edition”, you can be looking in excess of £100 plus postage costs. This is especially true if shipping to another country. You see, for presumably good reasons, the runs are limited, meaning they sell out within seconds and are often really expensive. Limited Edition means hard to find…Įxcept for price and availability. In this way, some classic games such as Hotline Miami, Enter the Gungeon, Celeste, and Oxenfree have received a physical release. They have sprung up to fill that gap – doing licensing deals for literally limited production runs on games that wouldn’t otherwise see a physical release. This is where companies like Limited Run Games and Special Reserve Games come in. Over the last generation, a lot of our favourite games have been indie releases and, therefore, sadly, lacking in the physical department. This is a real shame because there is something special about having a copy in your hand. This isn’t possible for many independent studios, given the cost to manufacture, distribute, and market a physical game. Still, there is nothing like expressing your love for a game then proudly having it on your shelf. For the budget-conscious amongst you, digital sales are also regular and can give you some real bargains. Let’s be clear here we are big physical collectors.
