    I’m glad that Hyper Light Drifter is on mobile, but it doesn’t exactly seem like a great fit. Between the slow ramp up and performance problems, it’s probably best to play this game elsewhere if you can. If you can’t, it’s still possible to enjoy the game on iOS. I did, but I probably would have had more fun with it on console or PC, assuming those versions don’t have similar issues.

I’ve heard it expressed before that Apple doesn’t respect gaming and thinks it’s something you do on your phone while using the toilet, this watering down a classic isn’t helping their case any. Very disappointed.… Full Review »
