    The excellent pixel art and voice acting are nothing compared to the excellent pacing of the story. The Drifter is essentially a narrative game, with puzzles taking a backseat to the action. It's a shame the narrative tone is so clunky, and I'm one of those who didn't necessarily enjoy the concept.

    The Drifter, from developer Powerhoof and Dave Lloyd, is a point-and-click adventure that stands out from most modern games in this genre. It brings brilliant control design, a thick narrative that can be felt, and all the right gameplay elements to make the game an impactful experience.

    One of the smartest, funniest, darkest and most refined pixel art adventures comes to Switch 2, and it feels made for Nintendo's handheld.
