I think I would have enjoyed this game much more if I played it when it came out. Nothing Bastion does is wrong, in fact I think it is a very successful game in nearly every area. The gameplay is tight and enjoyable, the art and sound are wonderful, and the story is cryptically interesting. The main issue is just that I can think of another game that does just about any of Bastion's aspects better, including later games by Supergiant, and it makes me ultimately wish I was playing them instead. No doubt though, Bastion is hugely impressive as the first title for what would become a top-rate studio.
