AgentBirdnest: Looks like I am the only one here who has actually played Bastion?

Well, unfortunately, I don't remember it very well... (Which may say something about how much I enjoyed it :-/)
I can't recall many specifics, but I definitely had fun... I remember it took about 8 hours to complete, but that I was a bit bored with it after 6 or 7 hours. It started to feel a bit repetitive after a while.
Still, I do remember having a good time, and really loving the art style, music, action and general atmosphere of the game. Unless I'm thinking of a different game, the character customization was pretty good.
I played with a mouse/keyboard, and felt that I likely would have had a better experience with a gamepad.
I found it overall enjoyable, but have not had a desire to ever play it again after completing it. I was glad I bought it in a Humble Bundle, because I felt it was just a *little bit* overpriced...
Still, I'd recommend that anyone give it a try.

Always wanted to try it out but it's,as you said,overpriced. $9,99 is a better price tag,IMO.
