Where do I even begin with Bastion. Bastion is my favorite game of all time. It's a game I played through countless times while growing up. It's a game I don't want to talk too much about because I honestly have so much to say. But to give the cliff notes: The music in this game is amazing. The vocal tracks from Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett are unparalleled. 'Mother, I'm here' means so much to me. It's a song that is so deeply nostalgic to me, and the scene in which is plays still makes me tear up. This game narratively is phenomenal and I think the best of the 3 SG games I've played (all but Pyre). The reactive narrator adds so much to the game where we have a silent protagonist, and Logan Cunningham does a phenomenal job with the voice acting. The gameplay is a tad dated but I honestly still enjoyed it on a recent playthrough. This game is one of the games that really got me into PC gaming and it will forever hold a spot in my heart for it. It may not be the best gameplay wise or most technical or complicated, but it means a lot to me. I truly recommend this game for anyone. Please play it. :)
