70%The Drifter Review (PC)
Parts of The Drifter don’t fully come together in the end, but the journey to get there is one of the best I’ve experienced in a point-and-click game in years, and its setup for playing on a controller should become the new baseline for the genre. Add in excellent voice acting and killer atmosphere, and this is a game that anyone who enjoys the genre should absolutely check out.
80%The Drifter [PC]
The Drifter is a sharp and stylish revival of the point-and-click formula that manages to feel both nostalgic and refreshingly new. With its gripping narrative, excellent writing, strong character work (especially with the voice acting) and clever puzzle design, it’s an experience that’ll keep players utterly engrossed from start to end. Whether you’re here for the sci-fi mystery, the emotional weight of a sombre homecoming, or the moody old-school pixel art, there’s something memorable waiting at every turn.
