Bastion Earns Top Accolades from Paste, TIME Magazine
Posted by Greg on December 8, 2011
It’s that time of year when game critics look back on the past 12 months and single out those titles that had the greatest impact. We’re very happy to see Bastion showing up on some of their lists. To give a couple of recent examples:
TIME Magazine named Bastion one of the Top 10 Video Games of 2011.
Paste Magazine ranked Bastion as the number one Best Game of 2011.
To put it in perspective, some of our favorite games of the year haven’t made these lists at all. We feel humbled and all the more honored when we look at the titles we’re stacked against.
When we were working on Bastion, we wanted it to be the sort of game that could leave a lasting, positive impression on players, for the experience to stick with people long after they moved on to other games. It’s really rewarding to see that the game has continued to stand out to critics such as these even after the onslaught of high-quality titles released this fall.

You guys deserve it! Thank you so much for this masterpiece!
You're the perfect example that an idea can go extremely far and that dreams do come true.
It's definitely deserved. Congratulations!
I can't begin to tell you how much I loved your game. Jen, Gavin, Logan, Andrew, Greg, Amir and Darren, your work has touched me so much, I can't explain it. You made me move on. Abandon the past. Abolish reconstruction. Value the people who contested you for the choices you made in the past. I can't thank you enough. You guys are awesome. Keep doing what you're doing. You're going the right way.
Well deserved! I can't think of a game I've enjoyed more this year! Super excited for ya'lls success! Congratulations!
That's really great. You really deserve this. :D
Honestly the whole Bastion experience was great. The art, the music, the story, everything really. I recommended the game to all my friends and they loved it as well. Congratulations on the acknowledgements!
