Bastion

Post by Funkmasterr »

I've been reading that this game is all kinds of awesome, so I'm going to download it tonight and give it a play. It's one of the XBL Summer of Arcade games. Looks like a cool action/rpg type game with really good narrative.

I'm interested in your opinion. I haven't gotten that one yet but will be getting Toy Soldiers this week for sure.

I just love it.
The art style, the narration and gameplay.

I saw it on your played game list. What is it comparable to in terms if gameplay? Just straight up action? Upgradable weapons or any type if simple RPG elements?

Yes!
I haven't been able to play it as much as I want... but I am thoroughly enjoying it.

From Dust is also freakin' awesome.

Well, looks like I'm buying another 1200pt game then.

I could never buy another retailgame and just play XBL games forever. On top of thus, I'm installing and playing through several Steam games! Too much to play already and the Fall crunch of retail games is just around the corner!

Played this for a hour or so last night, it's awesome! The art style is really cool, and the way the narrator will respond to how you play cracks me up! Well worth the money so far.

Out on PC too, got it on Steam, and completed it yesterday, and immediately started over, a brilliant game.
