    While The Drifter mostly succeeds as an immersive interactive novel, the experience, although solid and well paced, never quite evolves into something more than a moody two-evening adventure. What’s really a shame with Powerhoof’s creation is that while it’s a finely crafted point-and-click with great art direction and dark atmosphere, its shift from noir character drama and tense thriller to sprawling sci-fi conspiracy pulp is ultimately a disservice to the emotional potential of its arresting opening chapters.

    The Drifter is a loving ode to Sierra's golden age of adventure games. With its B-movie-style writing, pulpy 80s action aesthetic, excellent voice acting, and clever puzzles, it’s a throwback worth playing. Despite some limitations that reveal the small team’s resources, it will delight fans of classic adventures and 80s action movies alike.

    Finding faults with The Drifter is as difficult as pixel hunting in classic point & click games, and therefore it naturally deserves the highest possible rating.
