Bastion is a weird game because it's story is incredibly interesting and its world is detailed, however it all flew over my head like it was the international space station. This was due to mainly three things:
1) The world being created as you walk around makes the world feel more like a level than an actual place in the world.
2) For some reason I couldn't access the bonus areas the game has that explore particular characters backstories, which lessened my understanding of the overall story.
3) Your only source of information about this world is from Rucks (which might I add has some of the most badass lines I've ever heard in any piece of media ever) so if you were to miss a few lines of dialogue that lessens your understanding of the world.
These reasons are probably why the lore of the game didn't stick with me at first until I watched the obligatory lore video on youtube where it began to all make sense.
The gameplay of it is fun. The weapons the game gives you are fun to play around however as soon as I got the Scrap Musket I stuck with it as it could do far enough ranged attacks and near range attacks at once. The weapon upgrade system is fun and definitely adds to the replay value though so I guess sticking with the Scrap Musket was just a me problem.
So overall Bastion is a short (like seriously it was short, I beated in in around 3 hours how is the HLTB 6?) but sweet indie game that I'll likely like more with each replay.
