It’s this internal conflict that also imbues the narrative with a very evident PTSD metaphor. This theme has parallels to other characters in the game, the cyborg ninja character Genji in particular: being used as a weapon is emotionally destructive.
It’s evident that some of the AI’s old protocols are still active but the real emotional grist is watching them struggle against who they are now versus what their programming is still calling for them to do, which is to continue on to the nearest city and presumably cause violence. It’s a rebirth of sorts, the robot pushing out from under an overgrowth of plant life. The short finds us watching the lost and solitary robot being woken up in the middle of the forest by a small, yellow bird and finding the world very different from, presumably, the last time they were active. It’s not only a smart story but one that buried itself deep in my emotions. However, its real strength is the tightly wound narrative that could exist independently of the game itself, a feat given that the cinematic is 7 minutes long and contains no dialogue.
THE LAST BASTION WALLPAPER FULL
The short is full of magic, with bright scenery and movement, deliberate and well-chosen sound design, and smart editing. The most compelling of these is “ The Last Bastion”, one that follows Bastion, an E-54 siege model Omnic automaton. Their emphasis has been less on pushing forward story beats, but rather giving insight into the character’s origin stories and motivations, as well as the world they inhabit. The shorts themselves range in tone from goofy to serious, but always give a whimsical Pixar-esque touch to the heroes we know so well. Overwatch itself is visually beautiful with an obviously talented animation team, but it’s their cinematics team that takes those brief expressions and fleshes them out. The secret has been that instead of baking a ton of those crunchy bits into a game that is largely about competition, they’ve released several, fully animated cinematics since they announced the game two years ago.
