Apr 8, 2015While it may have taken a few years to find its way onto the Sony platform, Bastion still stands as proof to what a small team of creative and passionate individuals can accomplish, and that video games as a medium has an infinite amount of potential.
-
Apr 8, 2015Bastion is an enticing experience, and one worthy of every accolade that it has received.
-
Apr 7, 2015The game is still stunning in both its art direction and writing. Gameplay is fun and varied, and there are many different experiences to be had throughout. It’s also nice to once again see the game that laid the foundation for Transistor‘s presentation and mechanics.
-
Apr 28, 2015Bastion is a joy. It’s a game that has all the pieces in place. The key to the game’s immense entertainment value is how unbelievably well each piece marries to the next; the result is a smorgasbord of color and action, and one you will undoubtedly appreciate.

May 8, 2015In all, if you haven’t played Bastion yet, now is probably the time to. The move to PS4 doesn’t boast many extra features, but the game itself is worth a playthrough (or two, if you’re into New Game Plus modes).
-
Apr 20, 2015The arrival of Bastion to PlayStation is a great justification to play again this game that is visually stunning, with unforgettable soundtrack and interesting gameplay experiments. It’s a must buy for those who, for some reason, have not played it until now.

-
Apr 6, 2015This game is a testament to the type of human creativity, innovation, and wonder that are sometimes only possible with indie games, and now that it has graced Sony's systems, you can understand why it will continue to entrench itself as a classic for years to come.

Apr 15, 2015If you’re looking for an action-RPG with a substantial story to fill the Diablo void in your life, then Bastion will be right up your alley. It plays well, has a striking aesthetic, and a unique story.
-
Apr 14, 2015Because of some frustrating controls and combat design decisions, Bastion is held back from being excellent, but remains great nonetheless.
-
Apr 8, 2015Bastion holds up remarkably well four years later, even as the acclaimed games of the latter day tend to lose their luster once the initial novelty wears off. At its best, this re-release proves that Bastion is worthy of its name. It's a bastion of good game design and innovative narration, and I suspect that another four years from now, it will hold up just as well.
