A collection of my favorite videogame music. Note that most of them are from games I played so I might miss some great ones from games I never played.

Bastion (2011)
Setting Sail, Coming Home (End Theme)

I've been working my way through all of your playlists and waiting for some music from this game to appear.
The review itself is not as negative as 6.5 make it seem.
It's a shame you didn't love the game, it's really damn impressive and gives me hope in great classic RPGs returning some day, even if it was more action oriented than classic RPGs (which isn't a bad thing, if you ask me).
i know i just wish he had a how knows where. so kid you have had herd zulf's and zia's story i have even retold your's so now theres noting left to do but tell you mine i figured it's a bout time, but thats enough of an old mans rambling my story begins way back wen in old caelondia
Reviews shouldn't have numbers at all. You can't quantify things like that. I personally loved Bastion, but I can understand why some people wouldn't enjoy certain elements of it. Though I've met some people who weren't fond of the narration and I can't understand that... I could listen to Rucks all day...
You do learn some things though
i only wish to have learned a little more about Rucks
The thing that made the game for me is that the player learned what zia and zulf's life was before the calamity. The Who knows where, part was the best part of a game I had experienced in a while. My rating for this game is 9/10.
Few times I will disagree with Supra. This game just screams greatness and it's no wonder it's won and has been winning awards for a reason. This really is the best $15 I ever spent on a video game. Hell, just the 1 ending choice alone makes the game worth it. Great combat, story, music. Few games I'd ever rate a 10/10.
i hope to see bastion 2. it would be like mass effect if you chose to evacuate it would be like spiral knights or act razer/ monster hunter/sky rim, if chose to turn back time it would be like majora's mask
to be honest the only real problem with this game is the story is so good that the 4hr play time is a real "insult" other then that this game deserves any an all praise it gets and its a must buy among indie games released last year i paid full price (14.99 i think) and what i got at that price i honestly felt like i was stealing the game was that good
@ifirit0 DUDE! I Had the SAME exact vibe!
Just now beat this game. Awesome game with awesome music =)
@SupraDarky You say it has awesome combat, graphics and music, what did you actually dislike about it? The story, or maybe it was all linear and too short? Just curious as I'd love to play this and the music is making me want to play it even more. By the way, thanks for the upload!
I got this game for $5 because it was on sale for a day. Best $5 I ever spent.
chris cornell doing another bond song... oh no it's vgm =D
A narrative masterpiece with just as awesome music.
This reminds me of Thrice's more chill stuff. I really like it.
@Sweettooth1231 its on pc to.
This game is incredible, game of the year for me.
so this is for the 360 eh? well, im a sony fan, but i gotta admit tht this song is now one of my favorites.
This is without a doubt the best piece of Bastion! Original game, original story, wonderful soundtrack... a masterpiece!
@fiddlebender88 Well obviously, but my surprise comes from the fact that it's Destructoid of all things.
I honestly didn't like this game. Story and voice acting was nice, but everything else wasn't good IMO.
really loved the game. i'd love a bigger sequel but this one is perfectly fine as it is.
I love this game. It has great art style, great music, and they integrated the story well. I'd recommend it.
Amazing song! I haven't met this game ^^ but I liked the song.
I wish i had money to buy this.
Pretty much the best song on the album/in the game. Hands down. Great end theme. I feel the same about the style over substance. I felt they had a good game, but as an indie game goes, it's friggen amazing. Wished they took it further than what it was. 6.5 is a shameful score in comparison to some of the other indie games that were released around the same time as Bastion too, which it probably why it easily took Indie GOTY. No competition on the soundtrack though, one of the best I've heard :)
Met the people of SuperGiant Games at PAX Prime. Bought a signed copy of the OST and a Bastion bandana for $15. They were awful nice, and i can't wait to see what them and WB games put out next.
is that incubus? =0
nice song!
"Awesome combat, graphics and music. The rest? I wasn't a very big fan of." So you mean to say you liked all of it?
@SupraDarky Sums up my thoughts perfectly. Not just for this but a whole lot of the undiscovered games genre. They're all really good, but just because it's slick, artsy, different graphical style, and odd music, doesn't mean it's the greatest game ever. I'd give GOTY to Zelda SS myself. If not for being a massive, deep, and brilliant Zelda game, then for doing what the gaming industry has been attempting for almost over 20 years...motion gaming done right.
>Reviews Hah, though Destructoid seriously gave this a 6.5? There's a reason this game's getting indie awards across the board, y'know. I personally loved it a whole lot, and the music even moreso.
Finally! Bastion in this hall of fame!
best game since Boktai
@ItsShinyTime Thanks. Nice, I just found out that this game is available on the Google browser. Wow, that is epic!
i just love Bastion and everthing about it
This is a great song, although Zia's Theme stood out much more for me... Much like Chill, I expect to see Zia's Theme get added soon please... :)
I think the game had good gameplay, awesome art and godly music, but the selling point for me was the narration. I always liked when someone told me a story when i was a kid (and still do) so it was two of my fav things in one. Video games, and story being told (with a sexy voice)
Wow. I literally finished this game like 10 minutes ago. Fantastic song, really great ending and I love how NewGame+ is actually incorporated into the narrative mechanics.
One of my favorite games, not the best game, but definitely a favorite
@MegaFinalRound No, it was "Build That Wall", another song from the Bastion soundtrack
@SupraDarky No mention of its story? The bastion added a cool meta to the game that affected both difficulty and your objectives. I think this can easily be regarded up there with Cave Story and is much more of a praiseworthy game than minecraft
Is this the song that got Best Song from the 2011 Spike VGA's?
A nice indie game with awesome combat, graphics and music. The rest? I wasn't a very big fan of. Most people will disagree with me (it's getting a lot of Indie GOTY), but I just found the game had the "style over substance" problem. It felt like a great tech demo for something that could be truly amazing, a big RPG without those isolated labyrinths made of corridors and very basic puzzles. Destructoid's review is pretty much dead on for me, though I wouldn't go as low as giving it 6.5.
