Bastion too good

Black Turtle did a pretty good job.

Already got it, based on the demo I'd recommend at least trying it to pretty much anyone.

I really can't imagine not being satisfied with this purchase once I finally have time to play it.

If Dark Souls hadn't come out this year, Bastion would honestly be a candidate for my GotY. Loved it.

"Meh"stion. Good atmosphere and presentation, but the gameplay is super repetitive.

I disagree, especially with the weapon variety.

Icehawk's gaming opinions are INVALID anyway because he didn't know what Burger Time was.

But... I just bought Ghostbusters and the Humble Bundle...

why do you do this to me steam

Bastion has crazy weapon variety, a bunch of different passive effects to put on your character, and lets you tweak the difficulty in very cool ways. I'd say it was the exact opposite of repetitive.

tag so I remember later.

It's pretty fantastic. Could have been better, I think, but still great.

The repetition lies in the level design and enemy design. The level design purely aesthetic. Enemy design is very simple throughout, with just a few quirky projectile based enemies in the second half of the game. The game's gameplay systems and mechanics are just fine though. Plenty of unique weapons and upgrade methods.

I'm a Castlevania superfan! Ask me anything!

The level design isn't always completely different, but it is there, the swamp level for instance.

the enemies all have different attacks, even the ones that look similar, leading to needing different timing in order to counter.

I actually think there are too many weapons which makes for too many levels based around specific weapons.

Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

on my 2nd playthrough, I didn't use the weapons they gave to me at all though! they are slightly designed as light tutorials, but once you go through for the 2nd time, theres no need to use them at all.

For the most part, most new weapons didn't feel right to me, so I kept using the ones I was more comfortable with (and had powered up). At that point, the game became little more than a series of shooting galleries. Just keep following the path and shooting/stabbing everything. The gameplay never really evolved, there weren't any decent puzzles, and I just wasn't invested in the story enough to keep wanting to play. For all the acclaim the game got, I was awfully disappointed in it.

The story isn't a strong part, though the world itself has a lot of cool backstory. The "Who Knows Wheres" have pretty cool backstory especially. I have no idea why you are complaining about the lack of decent puzzles, the game was never meant to have puzzles, and they probably would have felt out of place.

It sounds mostly like you just happened to stick to the same weapons (which was the whole point of the levels being good for the weapons you pick up, so you have to try them all), which is kind of your own fault, the weapons are varied enough where I'm kinda shocked you couldn't find more you were "comfortable" with.

I was planning on waiting until the Christmas sale to pick this up, but then this went and happened. >_>
Wonder if it'll be any cheaper later on... might just get it now.

I'm not familar with steam sales, but I can't imagine it being anymore less than this for a while. And if it is, is the extra $2 REALLY WORTH IT?

Gonna pass on this one. I have too much stuff in my backlog as it is. I really don't need to fill it up with even more games.
