    16€ spent is probably the reason why I played this so long. It looks "charming" but is just not fun to play. I see reviews here "bought for 1$ in sale and woth every penny"... probably so.

    This game is so lame. Can’t understand the positive reviews. This game is like an iPhone game. The narrator voice is annoying. The story jumps from here to there. It never maintained nor even captured my interest. The gameplay is ridiculously repetitive. Sound effects are shallow. Overall just so lame.

    not sure what's the hype about. The game has great graphics no doubt. But the fighting is boring, especially if you have played Celeste and Dead Cells in past.

    This game getting boring after a while due to lack of action, but the only thing it has good story linen. I would rather play Transistor than this game

    This game is so boring... Yes, it's charm and can be funny at the beginning, but when you play little longer you can discover that this game is really boring and not worth your time. Lovely graphics are not enough

    I thought everything about bastion was boring. Narrator, sound, combat, storyline... It has no hook, so I didn't care. The graphics are nice but he kinda just faded into the background. Had to swing the weapon to keep track of him. Overall, even on sale I over paid and I have bigger, badder, better games to waste my time on

    I bought this on sale and was quickly disappointed. The controls just seem slow and unresponsive to me. I only played it twice and never went back - it just didn't capture me in a way that left me wanting to keep playing it.

    It’s great to finally see Supergiant Games bring some of their great work over to a Nintendo platform and Bastion easily ranks among the best. From its eye-catching presentation to the mysterious story to the challenging but satisfying combat Bastion is an emotionally fascinating journey from start to finish and one well worth venturing.

    Bastion is an involving and accessible adventure that brings its original successful formula back into play, this time on the Nintendo Switch. With a marvelous art style, an intuitive gameplay and a very appealing narration technique, Bastion is without a doubt a game that everyone should try.

    Bastion is a thrilling action RPG. Supergiant Games' fans will love it, but it's definitely for those who want a story with incredible music, fascinating characters and incredible gameplay.
