Once you "get" the game, it's good
I didn't like the combat system off the bat, but it really grew on me over the course of the game and I think its the best part of the game. I wish they did more with the non combat side of the game,… Read more
Beautiful visuals, a great soundtrack, and an intriguing (but flawed) combat system fails to offset the bad storytelling
At first glance, Transistor looks like a sci-fi version of Supergiant Games’ Bastion . With the paint-style graphics, isometric perspective, and the voice of Bastion narrator Logan Cunningham constant… Read more
