Really? Gameplay mechanics, Environments, Non-Linear Adaptive Narrator, Interesting Story, etc.

From Dust is nothing like Populous. What you meant was Black & White minus the animals.

Limbo wasn't original since we already have a billion artsy games like it, just minus the great engine of Unreal.

Saying how Bastion isn't original is just as bad as calling your listed games as original. Seriously, a low blow for a brilliant game.
