Oldschool gamer review – Bastion Review

WELL worth 1 dollar! but in regards to gaming and stories, Nothing is novel or new about this, it is filled with very non-creative mechanics and strategies we see over and over again in previous games. it has elements of Diablo mixed in with anime movies like princess mononoke or spirited away, but shorter and less significant. I personally, can't be dishing out 5 stars with these sorts of highly calculated games based on other games' success stories, particularly when there is so many significant ideas developers could utilize (Schrondinger's cat all the way to the Prisoner's dilemma, like Breaking Bad used) - instead we get these mystical thrill-rides that relay no significance to real life. It is a calculated money maker, and yeah, it is done very well. but dang I'm bored of corporations re-using successful ideas in games for cash... it's always nice to see developers try to get creative like Borderlands where they made an RPG-FPS with massive amounts of crude humor and cartoon graphics. It tried at least, for novelty... this game just applies successful stuff that has already been done into phone/tablet devices. It is done well, but very predictable.
