Supergiant’s most recent game Hades doesn’t have as much of a narrator as Bastion, but it does have one, and they do clever things like having the narrator accidentally tell the main character secrets (because the main character can hear the narration).

Yeah, I own Hades - great game.

And agreed they do interesting things with the narrator. It didn't hit home for me quite the same way that Bastion did, but I appreciate that they're constantly trying out new things.

In Little Orpheus, maybe the "narrator" is not the right word.

Think of it as two people having a conversation about where you are and what's happening.

Now I remember, I think Max Payne also had an occasional background voice. It added so much to the atmosphere.
