Great (visual) game!
Bbozmen | June 12, 2013 | See all Bbozmen's reviews »Bastion is an incredible art-like game with a rich and powerful story. You'll have to rebuild 'the Bastion' from scratch by recovering crystals. Whilst searching for the crystals you'll land in different levels which are just beautiful drawn by the makers. For me Bastion is a unique game because of the story and how it looks. This should be in your game collection if you enjoy a cool indie RPG/action game

A indie gem
Demilisz | June 11, 2013 | See all Demilisz's reviews »Bastion is a great, touching story with superb narration hidden under typical hack&slash. You explore the world, annihilate monster, completes challenges, finds artifacts and new waepons. And you have your own little base to build up as the game progresses. It is fun, enjoyable and you will never forget the narrator. Buy and enjoy

Amazing Story
thegaminglyfe | June 11, 2013 | See all thegaminglyfe's reviews »The 3 greatest parts of this game that have made this game famous are the narration for the story, graphics and sound. The narrator brings life to the already amazing story making it immersive. The art style of this game is beautiful and works so well with the game. Same thing for the sounds and soundtrack. All three of these things make Bastion one of the most immersive game experiences that you can play. The gameplay is fun and addicting and provides a nice challenge. Highly recommended to any gamer!

Amazing game, Indie or not
TCass29 | June 8, 2013 | See all TCass29's reviews »This game is incredible for a number of reasons. The narration is impeccably well done and tells the story in a fantastic manner. The music is great and appropriate for the feel of the game. The story is interesting, deep, and heart-warming at times. The worlds all have a similar feel but vary greatly in design. In terms of story, I think it's one of the best games out there.
