PC Gaming - Bastion - Review

Where do I start with this game....?

I will probably be just another person telling you to buy this game but seriously you should and I will tell you why.

Lets start with the graphics....the aesthetic of Bastion is beautiful, colorful, and full of taste. Not only will Bastion's graphics hold up over time for years to come, not only should the gamer enjoy the aesthetic but the team at Supergiant Games should be proud of them. Some Gamers may disagree about the games graphics but what they can't do is ignore the amount of time, expression, and hard work that has gone into creating the world of Bastion.

Gameplay remains to be the very core of all video games made. In this department Bastion shines with wonderful action and tones of a role playing game. Bastion will control a lot like a normal game using the WASD for movement and left/right clicking for attacks. Bastion also introduces other key strokes for abilities that make the gameplay not only fun but strategic on how to tackle your enemy. By introducing new weapons with different play styles Bastion remains fresh in changing it up not too often but just enough to give the player a taste of what a new weapon is and how to use it.

Story....Where do I begin with this.....I have been playing games for a little over 20 years and can't recall off the top of my head a game that tells an amazing story in 3rd person in such a successful way as Bastion. I was not expecting this going into the game nor did I find it odd that the main character never has a voice out loud. The decisions you make will reflect the outcome of the game with a story powerful and demanding of me to finish my first playthrough within 2 days of starting! The game length is just long enough to enjoy and sink yourself into the world but not long enough to exclude the casual gamer or multiple playthroughs. 

Overall I had a great time with Bastion, if anyone asks me for a recommendation or directly asks me about Bastion I would not hesitate to offer my opinion. Supergiant Games you really outdid yourself on Bastion and have gained a loyal fan to the games you create. I hope to see more from this developer in the future of gaming.
