It's challenging yet fun, and just beautiful to look at. Hyper Light Drifter is an excellent addition to anyone's Nintendo Switch game collection, especially if you've never played the game before. Since there's no time limits to worry about, just explore carefully and plan ahead. It takes time and patience, and you'll get better after the first few failures. Just take a deep breath, take caution, and don't stress out too much with this game. Also, try not to panic when using the dash mechanic, because falling off a ledge or platform as you're making a frantic escape from enemies is rather embarrassing.

The best piece of advice we can give you regarding Hyper Light Drifter is to always be wary and cautious when entering a new area.

The game is tough as nails, and you never know what awaits you around the corner. While Hyper Light Drifter looks gorgeous with its bright colors and fantastically detailed pixel art, don't think it's a comforting and calm world. Just doing this refills both your health and ammo, so take advantage of it. Whenever you see a teleportation pad, make sure to stand on it. The medkits do recharge after a while, but you'll still need to manage resources wisely for the best chance of survival. Since health packs come in limited quantities, especially in the beginning, you need to think about the right time to heal. We're talking about slivers of health left, not just when you have a small chip in your health bar. They're pretty hard to come by, since you need to explore every space carefully for them, so it's recommended to only heal when you absolutely have to. While you can heal at any time by pressing your L button, you'll need to make sure that you have enough health packs to do so.

Think of it as similar to games like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, except in a beautiful and colorful pixel world. Hyper Light Drifter is considered fairly tough in regards to difficulty since you're thrown into the world without any guidance and combat can get tricky.
