Farlands Design Den's video: Bastion GAME DESIGNER REVIEWS

This video has been requested by the patron Catalin Zima-Zegreanu. Thank you for the support, and I hope you will enjoy it! Professional Game Designer Stanislav Costiuc (Watch Dogs Legion, Trials Rising) reviews Bastion - an action/RPG developed by Supergiant games. Best known for its narrator and narrative techniques, Bastion tells a story of a Kid who woke up with the whole world being destroyed around him, and it's up to him to find and activate the Bastion. In this video many aspects will be dissected, from core pillars of the game to the narrative's thematic dissection. Enjoy my critiques?
