Bastion

It’s a gen-yoo-wine feast for the eyes and ears, serving up heaping portions of “acoustic frontier trip-hop” (Supergiant called it that) and an American Western, modern, ancient, wild, floating landscape that I never could place — and it never seemed to matter. I’d call it original, but you probably already figured that out. If the game manages to push out a dedicated soundtrack, folks with discriminatin’ tastes would be wise to snatch it up.
