In each, you must hunt down multiple puzzles that, upon completion, let loose a massive boss. Solar Ash adopts a more traditional linear structure, unveiling six increasingly wide levels one at a time. In Hyper Light Drifter, that open-ended structure applied to the entire map, with four sections that could be tackled in any order.
What the two games share is a structure that, while fairly open, is constantly funneling you toward show-stopping boss battles. Solar Ash presents its dreamlike world and asks you to explore it by jumping, skating, and grinding along pipes. Solar Ash, meanwhile, is a 3D action-platformer in which you traverse its world on some futuristic version of inline skates, cutting up enemies with ease. Hyper Light Drifter was a blisteringly difficult Zelda-like which presented its glitching neon overworld from a top-down 2D perspective. The second game from Heart Machine, the developer of 2016 indie gem Hyper Light Drifter, retains that game’s color palette-expect plenty of pastel blues, pinks, and purples, with the occasional threatening red-but changes just about everything else.
