Thoughts on Transistor

[CaptainSchpunklewiff]

Ok, so I recently played Transistor and it's fucking brilliant. The music, the style, the mechanics- amazing. Totally worth a play if you liked Supergiant games' last game: Bastion. What are people's thoughts on it? What do you think the game's about etc? Please remember to include Spoiler tags and whatnot if you are going to talk about the plot in any detail. Fanks.

Oh gosh, what a gorgeous wonderful game. I would rate this better than Bastion, just based on my love of cyberpunk. I wish I'd got on the PS4 where the voice comes from the PS4 controller. Music is luscious too. The colours are just gorgeous. The story is as poignant as Bastion.. I can't wait to see more from this team.

I think Zetetic did a big post about it, if not a thread.

I started it but stopped when the weekly grind came in. Had some lovely aspects, but the fighting mechanic seemed a bit rubbish to me, pixel precision is good when time limited, but when you have the option to undo and retry it just seemed to be an exercise in patience. A tactical game which rewarded precision as much as tactics.  Maybe it got better (I got to just past the first boss).

wasp_f15ting did do a thread in May. Not a very big post from me!

As I said there: I did like it and it was good to have something action-y without being frenetic.

Still don't reckon much to the plot.
