Bastion is one of the best downloadable games this year, but I didn't believe it right away. From the first time I saw it, I knew that the game was witty -- as evident from the narrator who literally narrates just about everything you do as you do it -- but Bastion was still just an action role-playing game. I moved through an area with my two weapons, shield, and special attack. No big deal. However, then Bastion started revealing itself to me, and I couldn't stop playing.
Bastion is just too damn good. The graphics are amazing; I can only describe the scenes as a watercolor painting with stained glass influences. The sound immersed me in the game. The narrator is entertaining as he announced what I was doing and why it mattered, but his sultry tones also kept me company. Bastion's a single-player game, but the narrator was my companion through thick and thin. Toss in some fantastic music and sound effects, and Bastion is a blast to experience.
This game came out in July and I'm sorry to say that I've just now gotten around to giving it some attention. It's great! Really fun action RPG complete with character and gear advancement, plus optional side stuff to farm. The art style is amazing and the world literally builds itself in front of you as you progress through the game, very cool.
I very highly suggest this game to anyone that wants a new fast-paced action game to play. I hear the main story is about 10 hours long, which I believe, and it has New Game+ to continue on, plus two endings. Get it!
