9/10
When I beat Bastion for the first time, I reloaded my save and played through for the second ending. When that was done, I started my new game plus. I'm not the repeat type of gamer, but Bastion's leveling, weapon upgrades, and difficulty tweaks are just too gosh-darn addictive. The story could've been better, but it doesn't matter. This game is amazing and you owe it to yourself to download it.

4/5 stars
As long as you're not expecting a profoundly original artistic vision, Bastion delivers on its gameplay. Bastion's main strengths are twofold – the combat is satisfying and varied, and the customization options are robust. Our only major complaints are fairly nitpicky – it's easy to fall of ledges (especially if you're using the shotgun weapon, which causes significant kickback and often kicks thekid off the edge of the world), and when you find a new weapon you're forced to equip it until you can get to a nearby armory to swap it out, which can be particularly annoying if it de-equips your favorite weapon. These are small issues in the larger picture though, and Bastion is still overwhelmingly well-executed.

Spotify introduces me to this game
One of the first indie games which made huge success in it's time. The graphics are cartoon, not 3D, so even after the years, it didn't age at all. There were some more likeable western and blues songs, but also some techno rubbish, although I believe it was done on purpose to highlight the dark atmosphere on some occasions. Then there is the narrator, which comments your steps throughout the post-apo world. I like his snarky comments and his resigned voice. One of the best parts of the game. The level design is quite fascinating. The game consists of many missions, during which you can not save and have to complete them at one dash. Luckily, the game has story mode, so even if you die, you can continue from the place of your death and not from the beginning. The floor on which you step is not laid at once, but is created and falls from heaven as you progress. It is not wide and there are no walls, so you can fall off. I like how the narrator comments that. There maybe is some story, but it is rather shallow. There is a possibility to get to know the main character better, but you have to fight too much enemies in order to do so. I would prefer to hear it during the main missions. Not during fights, if possible. Not in this game, sadly. You can miss many narrator's lines while fighting for your own life. GOG labels this as action RPG. I disagree. There are only few RPG elements. You can collect resources and slowly build your base. It lets you buy new weapons, upgrade existing ones, or pray to gods to make battles harder, but make rewards bigger, to name a few. There are a few skills you can get. That's it for RPG part. Apart from that, only fighting lots of enemies, some of them bosses. Imho, To be viewed as an action RPG, the game would need more RPG elements and faster pace. The main character should move and attack faster. Titan Quest, Grim Dawn or Torchlight come to mind.

Little disappointing
This, like Transistor, is more an interactive story than game. You get led along a path, get some gear/abilities along the way, but there's not real challenge and at the end I didn't even care about the story anymore. Looks good, sounds good, but... meh.

Very nice game
I had a really great time playing this game. It had nice graphics and a very good story. The music in the game is also very nicely done and suits the mood of the game. The combat takes a little to get used to and then I especially mean the controls. It was a little to easy to fall over the edge (a good thing though that you would only loose a little HP and not die). All in all I did really enjoy playing through the game albeit it being a little on the short side.
