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.

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.
