Bastion

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.
