Bastion

Muy divertido, no soy mucho de hack and slash isométricos, pero se me ocurrió darle una probada ya que lo tengo hace años en mi biblioteca y no recuerdo ni cuando lo compré, pero habrá sido por alguna notable razón ... y resulta que estaba en lo cierto, cumple con todos sus apartados, acción, dificultad, contenido y rejugabilidad, no hay historia o lore eso sí, solo hay 'excusas', la trama de lo que a sucedido y va pasando poco interes genera, pero su fortaleza, la jugabilidad, la divertida variedad de enemigos y armas, cumple y tapa las costuras que pueden haber. Un sistema interesante de control total de la dificultad, si no es suficiente la dificultad del juego base, hay un mecanismo de ídolos que puedes ir activando para buffear en diferentes aspectos a los enemigos, hay variedad de armas que mejorar, escenarios extra que te permiten enfrentar a oleadas de enemigos en busca de más gemas (dinero) para invertir en tu equipo o para cazar sus logros. Y resulta que el estudio detrás de esta joya es la misma que creo la elogiada Hades (y se nota), este fue una especie de prototipo de las genialidades que harían después.

Pros: Steam Deck/Linux Friendly Cloud Saves The Narrator's Soothing Voice Intriguing Story Told By Said Soothing Voice Breath Taking Musical Score Beautifully Crafted Worlds Multiple Weapons and Possibilities When Taking Down Enemies Cons: You Can Actually Finish It Bastion kept me company during more than a few of my lunch breaks, it's perfect for Steam Deck. It felt like I was being told a story while being able to take part in it. If you've played Hades this is literally Pre-Hades. It truly was hours of fun.

Bastion is one of those games that just sticks with you. The combat feels snappy, the weapon variety keeps things fresh and the hand‑painted world is gorgeous. But the real star is the narration. It gives every little action this cool, storybook weight without ever getting in the way. The soundtrack is also stunning in its own right and adds so much atmosphere without stealing the show. It’s not a long game, but it’s tight, memorable, and absolutely worth the ride. [b][9/10][/b]

이미 제작사가 이 게임을 발판으로 훨씬 나은 걸 만들었으니 굳이 할 필요는 없다고 생각해요

[h1]НЕ ИГРАЛ — И НЕ НАДО БЫЛО[/h1] Начинал эту игру кучу раз. Наверное, раз [b]10[/b]. Но при этом я прошёл [b]HADES[/b] и [b]HADES 2[/b] на [b]100%[/b]. [b]Почему же так?[/b] Потому что история здесь рассказывается [b]во время битвы[/b]. Это, на мой взгляд, просто наихудший вариант повествования. Смог пройти игру только с [b]русской локализацией[/b], чтобы хоть как-то вникнуть в сюжет. [hr][/hr] [h2]Что мне нравится:[/h2] [b]Графика (рисовка)[/b] — красиво, [b]7/10[/b]. Нравится стиль, в котором сделана игра. [b]Музыка[/b] — средне, [b]5/10[/b]. Нет ни одного реально запоминающегося трека. [b]Техническая часть[/b] — работает нормально даже на калькуляторе, [b]10/10[/b]. [hr][/hr] [h2]Что мне не нравится:[/h2] [b]Геймплей[/b] — [b]3/10[/b], говно. Персонаж ощущается очень топорным: медленный и слабый. Прохождение историй и испытаний — самое отвратительное занятие в этой игре. И ещё достижения завязаны на этой херне. 90% времени геймплей выглядит так: [i]кувырок → кувырок → удар → кувырок → кувырок…[/i] ну вы поняли. Мобы бесячие. Полноценных боссов тут по сути нет. [b]Сюжет[/b] — [b]4/10[/b]. Посредственный. К персонажам не испытываешь абсолютно никаких эмоций. [b]Нет официальной русской локализации из коробки.[/b] [hr][/hr] [h2]Итог:[/h2] [b]5.8 / 10[/b] [b]Не рекомендую.[/b] Просто не стоит тратить время. Сейчас есть куча игр, которые намного лучше, чем [b]Bastion[/b].

Рекомендую? Конечно же да! Одна из самых охрененных игр где прокачан сюжет на максималку

(initial review) Kind of just feels like a first draft of Hades. a little weird seeing that some of the problems hades had were present and obvious back in 2011 (mostly the unintuitiveness of ranged aiming) Just not particularly compelling overall. (Edit upon completing the game) the story is decently compelling, but the combat is still just kind of like, imagine the hades weapons but like, 300 hours of work earlier. still don't really recommend it

Just like the first time I played it around ~2015, I still don’t really get where all the hype is coming from, lol. Pros: 1) Visually, it hasn’t really aged. 2) The gameplay isn’t terrible — you can mix things up quite a bit thanks to the variety of weapons and optional challenges. 3) There is some replayability. Cons: 1) The narrator becomes exhausting over time. 2) The soundtrack is very forgettable. 3) The gameplay is a fairly primitive hack’n’slash — which would be fine, but I had issues with the very small maps, the camera being too zoomed in, and the sheer number of extremely intrusive enemies and projectiles. In the later stages especially, so much is happening at once that it’s impossible to keep track of anything — total chaos (and not in a good way). 4) Too many weapons. You can equip two at a time, and there are around ~10 total… but it doesn’t really make sense. They can be grouped into 2–3 basic types (melee, ranged, and something in-between / kind of usable in both cases). There’s no meaningful reason to switch from one weapon to another within the same category — you only do it either out of boredom, or because the developers force you to, since when you find a new weapon, you’re required to use it for the next few minutes. 5) Too long. Even though the game is relatively short, the formula becomes tiring anyway, because both gameplay-wise and visually the game stays almost completely the same from start to finish.

Какая же это отдушина, после рукожопых гач и АААА-слопа. Сразу видно, что делали талантливые люди. Веселит, расслабляет, возвращает в детство.

15 years ago I bought the game and tried playing it with keyboard and mouse. I hated it. Didn't even get past the intro. Now having a gamepad I can say with ease that I am a goof for not returning to the game finally beat it. While the end feels rushed and the story did not end with the weight I expected....I am 15 years late to the party. Play the game if you like compact and EXTREMELY well acted story. Bravo.
