    Bastion.

    One of the very few video game soundtracks I listen to. I sang Build The Wall to my first kid as a baby to get her to sleep. The choice at the end of the game literally made me walk away from my PC for a while and just kind of stare at nature lol. Not many games have had the kind of impact my first playthrough of Bastion had.

      Bastion never managed to catch me, Transistor did it for me tho. I burst into tears when the credits rolled and Paper Boats revealed itself as a duet between Red and her unnamed lover, after her not saying word for the entire game it hits so damn hard.

        Bastion and Transistor didn’t take for me, but I recommend Hades to everyone who will listen.

        All the characters are memorable and it’s amazing to find all the interactions. I’m so surprised such a story focused game is so fun to play.

          Ah I was just going to ask in the other comment chain about if all Supergiant Games made the same impression as Transistor did for me, but seeing from the discussion here I’m inclined to think that they are all pretty good with something grabbing some people in and other things grabbing other people in the other game.

        Transistor is my least favourite of the bunch because I’m far too stupid to understand the combat system, but the theme is excellent. I really enjoyed the voice acting for Royce Bracket too.
