• Best INDIE GAME studio...
Hyper Light Drifter is pretty high on our list of best games ever as it was full of personality, passion and for a game where the character never says a word, the game was deeply emotional.
We strongly believe that Heart Machine are one of the best indie studios around. A studio that you can trust what they are making is going to be great. In fact, in our recent ranking of the best indie studios in 2024, which was data based, Heart Machine didn’t make the Top 5, due to the lukewarm critical reception of Solar Ash, their semi open world, follow up to HLD. However, they were the only studio that we felt deserved a special mention as the rest of the list felt appropriate, but Heart Machines place didn’t. Solar Ash was a really good game that felt like a blend of Shadow of The Colossus, Hyper Light Drifter and Sunset Overdrive.
Although Heart Machine is busy working on Hyper Light Breaker, a third person action adventure roguelike with procedurally worlds that looks incredible and a fusion of everything they have learned from their first two games, but they also revealed another title coming in 2025.
Possessors looks to get back to the more intimate style more akin to Hyper Light Drifter and is being published by Devolver Digital this time around.
We were initially going to Possessors as one of our TOP 5 announcements from Summer Game Fest, which it still is, but then we realized something quite interesting as we started looking for more information on the game.
It seems like Heart Machine just announced a Metroidvania.
Are you more excited for Hyper Light Breaker or their new game Possessor(s), which looks to be a Metroidvania?
Definitely Possessor(s) as I love Metroidvanias and I'm not really fond of roguelikes.
Alx recently said to the HM community that Possessor(s) is what's typically called a "Metroidvania", Alx doesn't love that genre term and is pushing for the japan term to be more common "Search Action". "I feel like 2024...that side scrolling, interconnected genre has grown well past those routes of Metroid & Castlevania SotN..."
Thanks for sharing. I figured it was because even though it technically features the elements, using the term is almost a detriment these days. There is so much information these days between discord, websites, interviews, devlogs etc so thanks again for sharing. Are you more excited for HLB or Possessor(s)?
@@VDGMS Ooo, very tough question! I'll say Possessor(s), given how new it is ^^
This sounds super cool, I'll be on the lookout for it
Definitely adding this to my wish list
What game got you the most excited from Summer Game Fest 2024?
This one and Cairn
rock climbing is certainly having a renaissance at the moment.
Possessor(s).
