bastion was real boring so if you liked that youll probably like anything thats pretty looking :)

Bastion owned. although I will grant you that if there was no narrator at all, it might be pretty lonely and boring.

It's probably the best top-down Zelda that we'll never have.

i guess it just depends on the generation. if you're an ADD millennial born after 1995 where you're exposure was mostly PS2/Xbox era 3D games then yea I can see why people think Bastion is boring.

but a lot of grew up on isometric hack-n-slash games on the NES/SNES and bastion is a pretty excellent throwback to those while managing to have a new stylized artwork and sound (unlike a lotta indie games that taut retro-8bit graphic bullshit as being cool)

i liked bastion but some of the weapons/weapon combos made the game way easy

guess thats mostly self regulating though

yea you could always turn more of the statues on too

i dunno what to tell you guys who hate fun. the game isn't really that long so it ends before you get bored of the levels/weapons/enemies and it's pretty varied.

what indie ARPG games do you like better that aren't boring?
