“It's kinda crazy that super gaint kinda just made the same game over and over and that it's awlasy good. If you've played hades you'll enjoy because the mecahnics are very similair but the style of this game is…”
“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…”
“Fun Game, pretty short. Wonderful soundtrack. Has new game plus for the completionists. All-in-all a well made game that isn't too deep, but can provide a few hours of distraction if you enjoy simple action games.”

“... it doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. the first story about war i ever paid attention to, though i didn't know it was about that when i was 11. another example of ripping down the only world we have to turn it…”

“I think this is one of those relic games of the past that people have high nostalgia for. I played Bastion about 15 years after the hype died. I didn't really care for it, but I can understand how this game led the way…”

“For a game that's 15 years old, it still looks pretty good. The game works great on my XBOX Aly X. The gameplay is solid, and the story is.....fine. The game is short, but there is a New Game+ mode if you want to go…”
“This game worked perfectly on my steam deck. I played the entire game on it. I really liked this game! It has amazing music, beautiful art, and satisfying combat. The game is not long. You can finish it in around 6…”

“Nope tried it several times. I like the graphics but the gameplay ranges from boring to annoying.”
“Bastion is a pretty interesting quick romp through a surreal land. I first tried to play this game when it launched on the Xbox 360, and I didn't love it. But after playing through Hades, and loving it, I decided to…”
“I first played Bastion 11 years ago, did not like, and stopped playing. I recently completed it because I felt I may have missed something and I have to say that Bastion did not age well. The soundtrack is great but…”

“I enjoyed playing it, but I cannot fully recommend it to others. Here's why: The art style is charming. The voice-acting prominently features Logan Cunningham as ever-present narrator; there's a very good reason why…”

“Basically Proto-Hades. It's Supergiant so it's good but you can kinda tell it's their first game because there are still some kinks that need to be worked out.”
