I dunno, I understand why this game is so loved, but I didn't like it that much. The art is great, just like the music, but I found the combat getting repetitive and the enemies way too annoying to fight. Also the story really didn't interest me at all, the constant dialogue wearing thin on me. Still, for the price I paid for the game it was worth it for the 5 hours or so it lasted.
This game is downright gorgeous. The art and music are wonderful, the level design is interesting as it builds as you explore. A wonderful story as you slowly put the pieces together. Great use of a silent protagonist with a charming narrator. The final level was just brilliant, with 2 choices to make. I just loved this game.
Bastion is a combination of good art, music, atmosphere, amazing narration and a decent story. The gameplay is good enough for the length of the game, with a little bit of variety and some room for mastery, but it doesn't really have much of replay value. The game has more than enough to offer for its price, and even if you do not love it I would say it is more than worth the money for the experience it provides.
Goddamn brilliant. The gorgeous watercolour paintings and the sheer likability of the narrator are what push it through something to something special for me. The story is simple yet filled with depth and nuance, telling a tale of those affected by loss and hardship, as well as exploring what happens to a world ruled by hate and prejudice.
The gameplay is damn solid too, and the short length allows for a ton of replay value. Loved it.
