About Bastion

A hack-and-slash RPG featuring a reactive narrator, various unlockable weapons, weapon upgrades, practice mini-games and optional difficulty modifiers, set in an imaginary world in the aftermath of an uncertain apocalypse, in which the player embodies a teenager with a troubled past as he and the narrator work together to rebuild the world out of a persisting hub called the Bastion.

My daughter got hooked on the narrator's voice more than the combat itslef, which surprised me honestly.

    The narration is genuinely one of the best things gaming has ever done, I still think about certain lines years later!!

    Claro, la narración es lo mejor que ha hecho el gaming, pero raro que con eso solo no gane ni la mitad de sus duelos contra RDR2.

    Certain lines stuck with me too, but that alone doesn't justify this ranking.

    Compared to Skyrim's endless sprawl, this one respects your time and still leaves a mark.

    Pareil, j'y suis venu direct après un mastodonte du genre, et le contraste m'a fait apprécier encore plus sa concision assumée.

    VinylPhoenix

    Respecter mon temps, ok, mais un jeu qui se termine si vite, il laisse quoi vraiment une fois la manette posée ?

    Je l'ai découvert un été plutôt calme, entre deux emplois, et il m'a occupé bien plus longtemps que Valhalla malgré sa durée ridiculement plus courte.

    Gamboa25

    bueno, comparado en duración vale, pero que gane la mayoria de sus duelos no significa que compita realmente al mismo nivel

  5. GhostHunter10

    Le narrateur transforme chaque action en quelque chose d'unique, même une simple chute ou un raté est commenté d'une façon qui donne envie de continuer juste pour entendre la suite. Ça reste un des rares jeux où j'ai gardé le son activé du début à la fin sans jamais penser à couper. Est-ce qu'un autre jeu du classement a réussi ce genre de tour avec autant de constance ?
