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.

Pretty good

Nice graphics, sound, narration, gameplay and weapon variety. The only downsides are the lack of a manual save option and the pretty short length (I beat it in around 5 hours)

An excellent game

I don't hand out 5 stars often but for me at least this game deserves it. Beautiful graphics, great soundtrack, solid controls and gameplay, all with a half decent story line to follow. It's a bit short but not in a bad way, it doesn't linger too long and get dull and it's short enough to occasionally just replay it without needing 100 hours of free time. There's multiple weapons and upgrades so you can choose your style and a new game + mode . all in all its a really solid little package. It's frequently on sale and you can't ask for much more bang for your buck.

Great game

Get it, play it, it's great. It was my Baldur's Gate 3 before there was BG3 and my Fallout 1/2 after Fallout 1/2.
