“I wish Supergiant would get the roguelite bug out of their system and make sequels to Bastion and then Transistor finally.”
Was what I typed in our group chat. The three of us are mid to late 30s with me being the oldest by 3 months.
To say it went over like a brick balloon would be an understatement. So, I wanted to see if fellow game players had thoughts on it. Am I crazy? Do you agree?
Bastion was just not my cup of tea. Somehow the fighting felt too chaotic for me. I mean, it felt like it was just button mashing, no matter how much I tried to have some tactic for it.
Not saying it is a bad game, I can see why people like it. But from that point of view, no, I don’t need another Bastion.
And to be honest I had the same feeling when I played Hades. I felt more like I was dependent upon getting certain modifiers and weapons together otherwise I just was not going to make any progress. And I don’t think that’s a critique of the game itself it’s 100% in my abilities to play that sort of game. And from a personal taste standpoint my personal taste go towards bastion and transistor.
Part of the appeal of Hades for me is how it forces you to learn how to fight with different combinations of weapons and modifiers, as well as how differently those weapons play.
