Deep Look: Bastion- What a Mechanical Twist!

Hey Duders,

Here is the latest Deep Look! Deep Looks are largely gameplay and commentary like a Giantbomb quicklook; however, I try to cover games that have been out for a while and I intend to use the videos to highlight moments and mechanics that I found particularly worthy of highlighting and exploring. Also I aim to keep the videos under 20 minutes.

In this Deep Look I SPOIL the final gameplay moment of Bastion in order to examine its surprising gameplay twist. I talk about why the last scene is so moving and effective and how the game actually achieves its emotional conclusion. I also suggest how other games can learn from the gameplay pivot employed by Bastion.
