Bastion

[4/5] Excellent. A charming game, with a ton of soul and an amazing narrator and soundtrack.

[b]Bastion[/b] is an OK game, but I stopped playing at around 70%. Even though this game has decent mechanics, playstyle versatility with the amount of weapons you can use, big pool of different enemies that require different approaches, good soundtrack and overall design going for it, I was still not convinced to invest any more time into it's completion. The game has two big issues; - Weak, almost generic storyline - Bland hack-n-slash compared to majority of genre games. Although I must commend voice acting from the Narrator, the story is an absolute snoozefest, I literally dgaf what happens to the Kid, who's a main character, and all other NPC's at all. The game doesn't make you care enough for them and that's a huge letdown for a single-player adventure. If the game doesn't make you care about the characters why tf would you ever go on and complete it, right? On the other hand, once you figure out how combat works, it becomes very tedious and you just want to get it over with. There are a lot of weapons that's true, but some of them are incredibly powerful over other almost like the game has balancing issues. There's plenty of other games that did this way better than [b]Bastion[/b] in my opinion. I can see that devs really cared about this project, you can feel they really tried when making this, but for someone that played a ton of this genre of games, it's really just not for me. I can only recommend this game to someone who's novice to the genre, maybe you'll have more fun with it than I did. [h3]6/10[/h3]

This game is quite good as a starter for hack and slash. I used to play this game back in early release. At that time, I didn't finish the game because the story was lacking. Years later, it is still the same. I finished the game, but I'm not sure to recommend it. It's an okay game. Get it on sale only, I guess.

Honnêtement le gameplay a vieilli mais l'ambiance de ce jeu est quand même très chouette! Ne vous attendez pas à un gameplay aussi raffiné que Hadès si vous en venez par contre vous seriez forcément déçu.

I dig my hole, you build a wall ♪♫ Came from the song at The Game Awards, left with an amazing experience. The only downside is that there is no Bastion 2.

The thing that impresses me the most about Bastion is how early it did many of its ideas. So many of its gameplay concepts are echoed in indie action games to this day, and I hadn't realized they began all the way back then. The combat feels a little clunky to me these days, but rolling around and hitting enemies with different weapons is still fundamentally fun. The story also has a fairly weighty message behind it, that will only continue to age better.
