  • In retrospect, is Bastion ecofash propaganda? Pretty solid game though.

    TL;DR:

    spoiler

    Just what I recall: Protagonist wakes up in a broken world and a mustachioed engineer instructs him to collect fragments of a place/invention known as the Bastion. He slaughters tons of wildlife and later, people, in order to obtain the needed parts, but is assured that it will all be worth it/made all right later. Turns out, the Bastion is a time machine that can rewind the world back to before it was broken by a manmade weapon that was intended to do a genocide against some minority group. Problen is, when you play on New Game Plus, the narrator's dialogue changes and he recalls deja vu of the game's events, indicating that you were never playing on the first time loop--- no matter how many times you reset the world, humans will always eventually break it by trying to commit genocide. The only good ending is to use the Bastion as an airship and fuck off to parts unknown.
