Bastion



I played it after Transistor, so the way of telling the story didn't surprise me and I cared little about it. Thankfully the pace is very good and the story sections aren't very intrusive.

The game plays like an old school action rpg, where the character levels up and can improve it's equipment, actually for me the fun was about increasing the difficulty and trying different equipment setups to overcome the challenge.



Bastion isn't very long and it includes a few interesting challenges and extra modes. I did 100% in two days which I guess it's okay for the price. The music is very nice and visually is very well detailed, though in some ocassions is too bright for my eyes.



Did I like it? Yes.
I think you will like it if you:
- Want a light oldschool arpg

I rate my experience with a 5.5 out of 10.

The Wolf Among Us



I started this game after falling in love with Life Is Strange, so I was looking for more of this kind:

It's dialog heavy game with interesting characters and stories in a very extravagant world. I really loved the setup.


The main story is very interesting though there are some usual cheap-telltale moments just for the drama. And I'm not happy with the ending at all.

There also is some exploration to do very similar to the "point & click" adventures but there are no part of puzzles, it's only for the immersion.



And then there are the QTE events, no thanks, Life is Strange demonstrated that this is not needed.

Did I like it? Yes.
