Rich artwork, addictive gameplay, and a wonderful story prove that Bastion, despite its humble presentation, has all the right ingredients to be one of the year's most satisfying games.

Storytelling is a finely honed craft. Great stories often depend on great storytellers; someone who can do more than recount a sequence of events. A great storyteller will lure in his audience, captivate them, and have them hanging on his every word. It is rare to see this art translated to the medium of videogames, and in Bastion we find not just a great story, but a great storyteller.
