The Drifter Reviews
Powerhoof continues to be one of the most exciting developers out of Australia, achieving a tight point-and-click that anyone can get into with The Drifter. The performances from the cast are wonderful and sell the story well, while the quality gameplay clears the bar that the rest of the package sets. The beautiful work with the environments, animations, and soundtrack elevate this Aussie pulp thriller to fantastic heights.
The Drifter is an adventure game that recalls great point-and-click classics, but doesn't get too hung up on them. It has a very original and creative story, delivering a very charming game with truly impeccable voice work.

The Drifter is a perfect example of a game that just clicks (pun fully intended). Powerhoof breathes new life into the once-dead genre, mixing Carpenter/King-style storytelling, dark synth vibes, and top-tier voice acting to create a point & click experience that goes down like a smooth cuppa tea. If you're after a retro-style adventure packed with challenge and clever trial-and-error design, The Drifter is well worth your time.

The Drifter is an exciting game with puzzles that are tricky yet logical and a compelling storyline. If you enjoy point-and-click adventure gameplay and are looking for a thriller, you can't go wrong with this one.
The Drifter is a uniquely Aussie mystery that’s dripping with style, tension and strong voice work. It’s a captivating ride that only stumbles in its final moments and a few puzzles here and there—but mate, what a bloody good ride it is!
It's difficult to find fault in The Drifter; with incredible visuals, a fantastic voice cast and a gripping story, it manages to form a fantastic adventure, albeit let down at times by the innovation that defines its gameplay.
