As said before Bastion is a beautiful game, with a great soundtrack. Its setting is interesting and I like how the backstory of both the world and its characters is subtly introduced. However the combat is uninteresting. Bastion's combat is made uninteresting by the lack of enemy variety, and how uninspired its different weapons are. Bastion's weapons are great in quantity but beyond weather they are melee or ranged they lack meaningful differences. The weapons are separated by how fast they attack and the aoe of the attack itself. This is not good enough for me, I would have rather had a single interesting weapon then multiple weapons that are boring. Thankfully Bastion is very short my Steam playtime is 8 hours and I did not rush,I played some reflections, basically an endless mode that revels character backstories as you play, as well as getting most collectibles, so the blandness of the combat may not set in. Overall if you want a sensory treat, with a nice story Bastion will suit that, but it does not provide for someone who is looking for an arpg with deep, interesting combat.
