As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I must say that the announcement of Hyper Light Breaker’s release date has sent a wave of excitement coursing through me. Having been captivated by Heart Machine’s previous masterpieces like Hyper Light Drifter and Solar Ash, I can hardly contain my anticipation for this new rogue-like adventure set in the same universe.
