Review Bastion (Switch) - A Captivating Indie Gem That Hasn't Been Dulled By The Passage Of Time
You've done good, Kid
The debate over whether or not video games should be considered an artform will likely never reach a firm conclusion, but that doesn’t stop developers from trying to show how a game can be something more meaningful and touching than mere disposable entertainment. Enter Bastion, the debut release from Supergiant Games, which...

We talk with the Hades composer, and Zagreus himself
We recently spoke to award-winning composer Darren Korb as part of our Quick Beats series, where he kindly answered ten quickfire questions about his musical tastes.

Video 13 Nintendo Switch Games You Should Look Out For In September
Unlucky for some? Not if you're a Switch owner!
We're slowly but surely moving towards that part of the year where every single video game publisher dumps their best AAA titles on the market at exactly the same time and then wonders why they don't sell as many units at other points in the year. It's a fun time, but if you've got a Switch,...

This goes on sale quite frequently, so I picked it up for $3. It's not bad for the price, just not my type of game. Action is repetitive, kind of like a beat 'em up. RPG elements are overstated, I think. The graphical style, narrator and storytelling are highlights. I don't feel compelled to pick it up again after beating it.
@Daddoo Agreed. Not very interesting tbh. Combat is very repetitive and the different challenges can sometimes be ridiculous and necessitate several tries. Many times I put down the game and didn't want to pick it up again, but wanted to get through it because I started it. Would not play again.
