My Review: Easily the best game I have played all year. The Bastion offers an adventure through a torn world, with a interesting story and well designed gameplay. The game offers a number of side challenges that had me cursing when I failed and fist pumping when completed. To be honest, the game exceeded every expectation I had. The Standouts: The artistic visuals and amazing soundtrack would be reason enough to play this game, but on top of those, its gameplay is as deep or deeper than most action games. The game encourages re playability with difficulty modifiers and a wide selection of skills/loadouts. The Cons: A lack of any online features, or promises of more in the future.

I picked it up on Friday and have already beat the game twice, second time with full Idols. Pike/Breakers Bow or Cal. Cannon
Its well worth the price, but if you still dont have it by the time it goes on sale then you definitely need to pick it up then.
Agreed... bastion is quite amazing. I picked it up during a sale and I actually regret not getting it sooner. I'm addicted to the soundtrack. Darren Korb really did an outstanding job with it.
