Bastion

absolut cinema

A tight little indie experience. Cool narration mechanic, nice art, good music, and a satisfying fantasy-esque story and worldbuilding. The addition of more-challenging content, like the dream sequences, is appreciated.

After the monumental achievement that is Hades, it's cool to come back and look at Supergiant's roots. Honestly, up until the ending, I thought the game was a bit overrated. The soundtrack and art style is p good but nowhere near compares to Supergiant's recent works, I'm not a fan of the portrayal of the Ura considering what happens to them in the story (though they are redeemed by one of the ending choices imo), and the combat is mostly fun (with a huge variety of weapons and difficulty) but just unpolished enough at times to be a bit infuriating. However, the ending kinda recontextualised the whole experience as more than the sum of it's parts. I'd describe the story as a mix of fallout and undertale (though not the meta narrative part) about the power of friendship and letting go of the past. I think it tries to investigate the best method by which to rebuild, but I'm writing this after literally just beating the story, so I'm not totally sure. Anyway, great starting game for a studio as great as Supergiant, and, having bought it for a pound, it's more than worth the price on the merit of the ending alone.

Bastion is a classic indie game experience whose somewhat-jank combat is carried by a compelling world and a fantastic soundtrack. The story is told entirely through narration, which is very well acted. I'd recommend it.

Still, my favorite game from Supergiant Games.

Solid soundtrack and artwork with a very unique gameplay. Definitely worth picking up, especially for the 80% discount right now!

Первая игра от супергигант гамес, насколько я знаю , очень приятный визуал , геймплей средненький как по мне, я играл в 2026, я вряд-ли объективен, не буду судить, но возможно кого то оттолкнет балансная составляющая и другие факторы. музыкальное сопровождение вполне себе, к этой части игр супергигантов никогда вопросов не было) Сценарная составляющая довольно тривиальна, новаторств там нет, но графомании и глупостей точно нет. Манера повествования мне не понравилась, введение в события игры во время интенсивного боя это глупо. Из откровенных минусов отсутствие ванильной русской локализации, но опять же все решаемо. Учитывая цену я считаю что смело можно брать, визуальная составляющая все таки уникальна и на фоне современного игрослопа видно что в игру был вложен талант, силы и навыки людей.

narrator in the game is the best
