    Bastion

    Game » consists of 17 releases. Released Jul 20, 2011

    Bastion is a story about a Kid, his hammer, and a world gone all kinds of wrong.

    Is Bastion unique enough to buy it?

    I just bought the Diablo 2 Battlechest and I forgot this was coming out as well. Is it worth $15 even though I have Diablo 2 to play. I know it's not out as of this post, so over the next couple days, post your opinion.

    Come back again in a day when the game comes out. Or read the reviews or whatever you need to justify your purchase.

    From the footage I have seen so far I would say the gameplay looks kind of generic and boring. But we have a whole thread of reviews for you to check though if you need be.

    From the footage, the game seems to have a fairly unique presentation.  But combat wise, it does seem kind of generic.

    Hey internet, I don't know if I should be interested in this game I am obviously interested in. Should I be interested in this game I am obviously interested in?

    Anything is more unique than mass clicking.

    This is also kind of true (although I loved Diablo 2 back in the day).

    The dynamic narrative is something I'm looking forward to.  I wish it was implemented in more games, specifically those that have a film noir-ish feel to it.

    @delorean99947: XBLA games have demos. They're free. They help you decide things. (unless you just need strangers to tell you what to do with your life...)

    The game is really nothing like Diablo other than they both use an overhead perspective, and the combat has more depth and flexibility than some reviewers gave it credit for. But yeah, try the demo.

    You should try the demo, the combat looks interesting enough and most people here seem eager to try it.

    This.  I will never understand people that don't just take advantage of the XBLA demos.  Do they all have 2GB data caps?I have dozens of XBLA games, and I have never bought one without trying the demo.

    Really, the only thing you can do is try the free demo and read any reviews you want.

    @YoungFrey: When OldGuy said XBLA games have demos, I decided i'll download it. I barely use my Xbox and didn't know every XBLA game has a demo.

    It does a few things unique but i don't buy games just because they look "unique" i buy for intriguing storylines, great combat systems, fun, fun, storyline, fun, combat system and um fun.

    The demo felt a bit bland. I think I'll skip this game and get From Dust instead.

    Mechanically speaking, no, but it's an incredibly well built game in all respects and $15 is a STEAL
