Is bastion a good game?

Aesthetically, its a gorgeous game. Gameplay wise, from what I played of it, its sort of like a brawler: run from point A to point B, fighting mobs of enemies along the way. People tend to love the announcer.

Its worth five bucks, definitely. On Steam, you can usually catch it on sale for around $2.

Is the combat system somewhat deep or is it more of a masher? Would i want to keep playing it just to fight things?
