When you think “point-and-click adventure” you probably think of something a bit sedate, something you play with a hot drink near at hand while taking plenty of pauses to mull over what you’re going to do next. The Drifter is not that kind of adventure game.<\/p>\n

Within minutes of starting the demo I was trapped in a boxcar being shot at, and shortly after escaping that I was dumped in a reservoir with a weight round my ankles. Having to escape these situations with whatever tools are at hand makes The Drifter feel less like a mug-of-tea kind of game, and more like a near-death experience.<\/p>\n
