Finally I'm done with Bastion. I started playing it last year, then I left it alone and unfinished for a few months. I forgot why, but then I remembered I had an unfinished game, I thought I'd better start from scratch instead of picking off from where I left. Bastion is one of the most innovative indie titles in recent years. On the surface, it appears to be pretty much like any dungeon crawler. Except the settings are floating grounds. And you don't have to refer to a map from the time to time. Why? Because the world forms under your feet!
Then there's this other thing Bastion has to offer, that's so immersive, for a period of time while the game was still fresh in memory, I had developed a habit of narrating everything I did in the most dramatic ways possible. It's the fucking voiced real-time narration! Playing Bastion is like listening to your own story at the same time. You don't have to read any narration whatsoever because everything is being told to you by the narrator in the background. Quite often, he'd make some comments depending on what you're doing in the game.
Which I think is pretty cool.
