Bastion

[b]Bastion[/b] is an OK game, but I stopped playing at around 70%. Even though this game has decent mechanics, playstyle versatility with the amount of weapons you can use, big pool of different enemies that require different approaches, good soundtrack and overall design going for it, I was still not convinced to invest any more time into it's completion. The game has two big issues; - Weak, almost generic storyline - Bland hack-n-slash compared to majority of genre games. Although I must commend voice acting from the Narrator, the story is an absolute snoozefest, I literally dgaf what happens to the Kid, who's a main character, and all other NPC's at all. The game doesn't make you care enough for them and that's a huge letdown for a single-player adventure. If the game doesn't make you care about the characters why tf would you ever go on and complete it, right? On the other hand, once you figure out how combat works, it becomes very tedious and you just want to get it over with. There are a lot of weapons that's true, but some of them are incredibly powerful over other almost like the game has balancing issues. There's plenty of other games that did this way better than [b]Bastion[/b] in my opinion. I can see that devs really cared about this project, you can feel they really tried when making this, but for someone that played a ton of this genre of games, it's really just not for me. I can only recommend this game to someone who's novice to the genre, maybe you'll have more fun with it than I did. [h3]6/10[/h3]

This game has a special place in my heart - I remember playing it with my brother in my father's office growing up, and, now, playing it as an adult, I have to say it holds up so incredibly well. Supergiant games is obviously one of the best studios at making these types of Indie games that stick with you, but Bastion being their first attempt (I believe) really shows their genius. I often will just remember the Ruck's voice as I'm going about the day or put on the amazing score (I'm looking at you Zia and Zulf's theme) - btw shoutout Darren Korb on the amazing musical production. I don't think theres anything wrong with this game - maybe the challenges get a little tedious but thats a far cry from tearing this game down from the masterpiece that it is! A Beautiful Calamity 9/10

Bastion is an amazing game! It was made by the same developers as Hades, Transistor and Pyre. You can really see the similarities with all of those games, and if you're a fan of any of them, I do recommend it. However, the game is pretty old, and considering it was the first game in this style the developers made, you can definitely notice it. It feels like Hades stripped of some of the fun elements. It is overall worth playing, specially if you didn't play any of their later games, since I think then you won't be noticing this backwards feeling at all. I would rate Bastion a solid 7/10 and a game definitely worth picking up on sale!

it dont play

This is the game that would solidify Supergiant's place amongst indie developers. Yes, compared to their later titles, especially Hades, its a bit clunky and shows its age in the gameplay. Despite that, its art and presentation still holds up very well. The smooth voice of the reactive narrator makes every action you do feel very meaningful, and Darren Korb's soundtrack sets the tone perfectly for every encounter. Not too long of game and easily completed within 8-9 hours. More than worth a buy especially when it gets discounted for so low. Experience the proto-Hades that is Bastion

stilll one of my favorite games ever. kind of insane

Good
