My biggest regret playing Bastion was the fact that I did not play it sooner. Bastion is an action RPG with a bit of a Wild West vibe, as its story is told as you play via a grizzled narrator. You play as 'The Kid' a survivor of the apocalyptic-like event called the Calamity. You must traverse the floating remains of the world, trying to find anyone who has survived, whilst fending off various enemies. I enjoyed the varied environments that you trabel through, as well as the way that the story is told to you.

Aside from the story and world, I also enjoyed the variety of weapons and skills that you earn across the game. There is a lot of choice from which ranged and melee weapon you wish to use to which upgrades you want to use to enhance your weapons. However, I did find that I would always use the same two weapons. However there is definitely plenty of options that would support many different playstyles.

Overall, I would recommend Bastion to anyone who wants to play a short action RPG.
