The Drifter
The Drifter is a 2d point and click adventure in the classic style. Taking cues from the recent revival of the genre there is an emphasis on story, with puzzle solving being the glue that ties it together rather than the focus. Mick's a pretty practical guy, and so puzzles are down-to-earth, designed to be unobtrusive, and give an investigative feel. We're keeping the pacing is quick and lean, you'll never be wandering around lost for long periods - Mick is propelled through the story at a good clip, from one situation to another, with barely a moment to catch his breath.

The Drifter is a phenomenal experience that takes you on a roller-coaster ride unlike any other game that I’ve played in recent memory. The gameplay may be simple to some but it provides players with a lot of satisfaction with every puzzle solved. Couple that with a gripping story featuring incredible writing, memorable characters, hard hitting themes and messages, amazing art design and a brilliant soundtrack, and The Drifter has everything that it needs to provide you with a perfect experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

There’s something that continuously draws us back to old/retro games. Is it nostalgia? Is it wanting to relive the memories? Did we love the storyline? Maybe the somewhat now dated graphics and the soundtrack kept our blood pumping as we eagerly awaited the next boss battle or the revealing of a hidden item? If you have chosen all of the above, then you’ll be delighted to learn that Powerhoof’s newest game, ‘The Drifter’, will unlock all your old-school gaming desires! The Drifter is a compact, cinematic point-and-click thriller that blends mystery, sci-fi, and noir into a gritty, edge-of-your-seat story-driven experience.

What I thought would be a quick review I’d check off the backlog turned out to be one of the most emotionally gripping and atmospherically rich games I’ve played in a long time. It’s got heart, horror, puzzles that actually made me feel smart without being frustrating, and a story that had me hooked from start to finish. Powerhoof has made something special here, and The Drifter absolutely deserves your attention.
