Pros
- and Bastion (the closest anyone has gotten to doing something like Cradle justice).
- It was an amazing experience and one I’d recommend to anybody, but if you come in expecting just a less polished version of Hades, I think that is going to do you a disservice.
- Bastion is my favorite Phil Tucker book and my favorite Progression Fantasy, though admittedly that's not a core genre I read.
- Bastion was the first book of his that I read and I was completely enthralled the entire way through.
- Look at Bastion or Tactile Turn?
Cons
- Bastion was ok.
- There's a lot to like here, especially in the atmosphere, but after 200+ hours into Hades it does feel a bit rudimentary. ... It's still a good game, but it does feel dated.
- The story of Bastion didn't quite grip me, I actually found it a little confusing at times because it relies on reading item descriptions to fill in gaps and admittedly I didn't realize that until way too late. The movement feels a littl...

It's a good game, some believe it to be a great game. It's definitely worth trying if you're a fan of Hades even if for no other reason than it being an academic experience to see how Supergiant ended up creating Hades.
The story of Bastion didn't quite grip me, I actually found it a little confusing at times because it relies on reading item descriptions to fill in gaps and admittedly I didn't realize that until way too late. The movement feels a little off, and aiming with a controller leaves something to be desired. I found I was often missing shots with the scrap musket, for instance.
Working through Bastion and I think I'm about at the end. The game has great style and is pretty fun, but it seems like I'm near the end and haven't unlocked much at all.
