Full spoilers under the cut again! This is another Supergiant game (aka From The People Who Brought You Hades), actually their first game, and if you are specifically interested in playing All The Supergiant Games then yes it's an interesting experience and you should play it, but outside of the Supergiant angle it's not something I would go out of my way to recommend. My main issue is that I think it encourages the player to ask a lot of great questions and then for some reason the game is like "jk nevermind," which was a bummer! Looking at reviews etc I think it's a lot more respected for gameplay than story and I guess that explains why I, A Story Bitch, didn't fall in love with it. (Also I'm not knowledgeable enough to make a call on this but it's possible that there are gameplay elements that were very novel in 2011 that I simply take for granted now! Who's to say.)
Big picture: In Bastion, you play The Kid, who wakes up to find his world destroyed by the Calamity. At the direction of another survivor, you travel around to different areas to fight your way through them and collect items that will help restore the world. There are a bunch of different weapons, all of which can be upgraded in a handful of different ways. As you go, you gradually learn more about what the Calamity was and how it came to be.
( i don't want no part of your tightass country club, you freak bitch )
