Transistor

This is supergiant’s second game and the art style is kind of similar to its first game, bastion. The combination of turn based and action mechanics in the game is very unique. Different skill combination effects are fun to explore.
Achievements are not difficult. All achievements can be obtained in two runs. First run without any optional quests takes about 5 hours.
Overall a recommended game for any player wish to try something new.

If Bastion was the wise elder child of The Supergiant family, then Hades is the prodigal son and Transistor the eccentric one in the middle (Pyre is the furtive pygmy, so easily forgotten). Despite Frankie Muniz single-handedly painting middle children as dysfunctional egotists, Transistor is far more methodical and restrained in design than its siblings. In retrospect, this was quite a risk for Supergiant to undertake, since Bastion was their only successful release at the time.
Taking the isometric perspective from Bastion, Transistor plays similarly at first until players are introduced to Turn(), a core combat mechanic that allows players to play in a limited turn-based fashion. In addition to being a cool diegetic accessibility feature that adds depth, Turn() explores a different venue of skill expression than the twitch-reflex abilities of real-time combat. Fortunately, for those Turned() off by this, one can simply button mash.
Transistor's story explores a sci-fi narrative combining elements of revenge and mystery. It's not as strong with its themes as Bastion was with its post-apocalyptic optimism but players will find much to love with Logan Cunningham's stellar vocal performance and Darren Korb's soundtrack featuring high-energy electronic tracks to sultry lounge tunes. At its current asking price, you'd be a fool not to partake.

There would be no Hades without this game. Give it a try.

Don't let the title fool you, this game is not about semiconductors.

Transistor is the definition of art. The environments are visually stunning, the soundtrack might just be my favorite among video games, and the story is memorable. The time stop mechanic makes the combat very interesting and the loadout customization is some of the best I've seen. The game's length is about 5 or 6 hours, please do yourself a favor and play this.

This game is definitely my favorite of the SuperGiant games (of which I have played all but Bastion, that one is still in the process)!
The music, the visual art and the animations mesh so perfectly to create a beautiful yet dystopian world that sucks you right in. It might not be objectively their best game, but SuperGiant has managed to catch thunder in a bottle with this one, as far as my taste is concerned and it truly satisfies the artist in me.
It just leaves me wanting more, more music, more art and more gameplay options, not in the sense that it is incomplete, rather in the sense that it is so good and interesting that I crave more of it.
I truly can't say enough good about this game, thank you, SuperGiant, for this masterpiece.
