@preto's review of Bastion
★★★½
The player periodically unlocks new weapons and abilities throughout the game, but most of them, while fun to use, didn’t seem particularly viable. I ended up using the same two or three weapons throughout the entire game. In terms of enemies, the beginning and end of the game were the best. Fighting the stationary plant enemies in the midgame was boring at best and annoying at worst. The game’s music, art, and narrative are where it stands out. I’m not a particularly big fan of high-fantasy settings, but I always enjoyed hearing the narrator talk about the people, history, and ecology of the world. There were times when narration played during combat, and I was too distracted to listen, but that’s a nitpick.
