I feel like Bastion is probably appropriately rated, given that it is very popular, and I think made it onto atleast a few game of the year lists when it was released.
The gameplay. Aesthetically the game is fine. But the actual hack and slash elements feel very barebones. It almost feels like a mobile game. And the vibrant chunky isometric graphics, level design, and town building lite elements kinda sell that feeling further.
I hope you enjoy it! Fair warning ahead of time it does have multiple endings, and the good one will probably take a second play through, though it’s not particularly long.
It’s somewhat randomized, but not procedurally generated in the typical sense. There’s a set number of dungeons that will appear in the same general regions each time. Along with a set order of doing the dungeons.

Evoland 2: A game paying homage to the history of rpgs, and has a fairly solid set of main characters.
Lenna’s Inception: A 2D Zelda clone about the world glitching out and you taking the place of the main character.
Bastion: First game from Supergiant Games (makers of Hades). Fantastic music and voice acting. Fairly good story too.
I feel like Bastion is probably appropriately rated, given that it is very popular, and I think made it onto atleast a few game of the year lists when it was released.
As someone who replayed it recently, I also feel like it did not age gracefully.
That’s a bummer to hear, what stuck out to you as aging badly?
I feel like I remember it not seeming super replayable, because of the whole narrator doesn’t repeat lines schtick.
The gameplay. Aesthetically the game is fine. But the actual hack and slash elements feel very barebones. It almost feels like a mobile game. And the vibrant chunky isometric graphics, level design, and town building lite elements kinda sell that feeling further.
I will be checking that out, thank you for the tip.

I think it’s worth noting that Lenna’s inception is procedurally generated, for better or worse.
It’s somewhat randomized, but not procedurally generated in the typical sense. There’s a set number of dungeons that will appear in the same general regions each time. Along with a set order of doing the dungeons.
