Masterpiece
The title of the review says it all, really. I played this game years ago and Im just as awed by it as I was then. The graphics and soundtrack are amazingly beautiful. The gameplay is immersive, fun, and very customizable and strategic. Its not too hard, but you can use in game items to give yourself more of a challenge if you want.
The story, though, is Bastions true strength. Every element of the game works together to make you really, truly understand and care about these characters, and certain parts are incredibly emotional. The world building is great, too. The world of Bastion seems like a real place after getting to know it all game long.
My only complaint is that the game is on the shorter side. However, with New Game +, youll be able to enjoy it just as much the second time. The price is honestly a steal for a game of such quality.
If you only buy one game all year, please let it be this one (or Transistor by the same developers, but thats another story :P).Thank you, Supergiant Games, for the adventure of a lifetime.
