I'm a believer in love at first sight, friendship at first tequila shot, and, likewise I get a good feeling about certain video games – like the new 2D side-scroller Metroidvania Possessor(s) from Hyper Light Drifter developer Heart Machine, which I got to play during Summer Game Fest.
I like games that go fast, hit hard, and force me to commit their controls to muscle memory or die. These aspects make me feel like I'm chugging granulated sugar at two-time speed, which is probably something I would do if it couldn't abuse my pancreas; I like feeling like the only thing stopping me from becoming the human personification of dopamine is all the annoying organs standing in the way. So naturally I, a hedonist, was drawn to Possessor(s), a game in which a demon decides to inhabit a girl.
