Immersive visual and auditory experience – Bastion Review

The artwork and music is honestly top notch, and as crisp as if you played on your pc. In comparison to the computer version, I’d say that this one’s gameplay is less satisfying (more of a four star than five). Because there are no keyboard controls, all of the weapons just kind of auto lock onto the closest enemy, and keep jumping to another one once the enemy is dead. I couldn’t figure out a way to get it to lock onto the enemy that I’d want to hit, without just having the Kid shoulder roll closer to it. That means that even when you first start the game without any add-ons to your weapons, the game is almost laughably easy. There were also some weapons, like the dueling pistols or fang repeater, that I rarely used in the computer version, that became really useful in this version. Overall, it’s still a deeply satisfying game that still allows for most of the functionality of the original.
