Transistor PC Review: Simply

breathtaking
This game is created by the same makers as Bastion, which is one of my favorite games ever. Upon
loading, Transistor is visually appealing, and Logan Cunningham (Rucks in Bastion) makes a
reappearance which is exciting. Controls are fluid, music is amazing — I’m very excited to play
through this game!
First Impressions
After playing for about an hour, I must say that I think all the expectations I have had for this game
are met. Unlike Bastion, which was more of a go‐get‐em game, Transistor really makes you think
and analyze your tactics in battle, especially with the new “time stop” system where you can plan
out your actions (each move you make will cost part of your “energy bar”). There are plentiful save
points, and a nice level‐up system to improve your skillset. The game is mysterious so far, and I
think it really fits into the mood. However, some people might dislike how the story isn’t really clear,
and you’re just following the path without much reason until (supposedly) later on in the game
when things will be made more clear. My only qualms with the gameplay itself are the somewhat
repetitive nature of the fights (although each fight calls for new tactics), and the somewhat tricky
level‐up system which seems a bit arbitrary. The upgrades arn’t clearly defined as to what exactly
they do. Overall, some parts of the game feel like I’m not sure what’s going on or what I’m supposed
to do to upgrade the Transistor with, but that just adds to the mysterious nature of the game at
the beginning.
Progress report: Deeper into the Game
Having come across the first “boss” now, I really think that I can speak for all people when I say–
wow. The way in which the “characters” speak is amazing. The fight had me on my toes, really
making me consider the best way to defeat it without losing too much health. I was blown away at
how the screen colors changed and blurred as I started to lose more and more health.
Verdict
If you have any doubts on buying this game, your doubts should be dispelled–this game is worthy
of your $20; a beautiful second game released by Supergiant Games.
