Bastion

Well the Narrator makes 90% of the atmosphere, the other 10% are the great Story and the lovely drawn pictures. i really like it playing once (maybe a bit more) What would be even greater may be an multiplayer option, because all of the neverending-story optiona are already there: collecting archivements, upgrade weapons to maximum, increase Monster strength, etc. If you only play once, you may not use all weapons wich is a kind of shame because the invested so much details into the weapons! Thank you!

Bastion was one of the first games I'd booted up on my then newly-built, first-by-my-own-hand gaming PC circa spring 2011, and it blew me away. The combination of art, story, music and mechanics was hugely impressive. No, it wasn't much of an RPG, so I feel that tag is a bit disingenuous, but then again genres are fluid anyway and as we've come to see from this studio's later output, genre-bending is what they do best so this is, for all intensive purposes, a pure action game. There's not a whole lot else I might write that others haven't already; the game has aged like a fine wine and I feel anyone who wanted to play it likely already has. It's a 2.5D isometric hack and slashy experience where the narrator has quips for many actions that you do, set in a diesel-punky fantasy world on the brink of a reset, with lush hand-painted visuals. Darren Korb's soundtrack still haunts me to this day. Does it hold up as well now upon a revisit? Probably not, but I still hold fond memories of this game all the same. Save for a misstep with their follow up, Transistor (2004) - which to be fair is my own problem as I could never quite get on with its mechanics and expected something different from its sci-fi world - Supergiant has and likely will consistently deliver interesting and polished experiences for years to come. Hopefully not a 'Bastion 2: The Bastioning' anytime soon, but then that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, I suppose.

Game looks fine but narrator won't stop talking (it quickly gets annoying) and H&S mechanics are at most mediocre

Okay, making things clear with few words and no spoilers, this is a great game, with a beautiful world, solid gameplay (personally better with controller), and a great narrative, which will point out things you are doing at the moment, having lots of nice and funny details.

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)
