Oh I'm in love with the music and the sword's voice and Red's vocals. Sometimes your family can be you, your sword husband, and your little Process puppy in a desolate fake beach. EDIT AFTER FINISHING THE GAME - Please just play the game and experience it for yourself. I haven't cried this much over a story in a while. Red and Mr. Nobody haunt my mindscape. Visually and musically in my heart this game is my absolute favorite from Supergiant Games. It brings such an impact into your soul that you wish you could experience it all over again just to cry like a newborn by the end of the gameplay. It's gut wrenching, it's loving. It's..... It's so much. I'm glad to have played it for the first time nearly a decade later. Red and Mr. Nobody's story will always hold a special aching comfort in my heart.
Visually stimulating. Mechanically boring. PROS: -Some of the best use of color ever -Good voice acting NEUTRAL: -Short. -No collectibles -Some moves don't seem to do anything -Terminals don't have a purpose CONS: -No reason to explore anywhere because there is nothing to find. -Gameplay / mechanics appear deep but are quite shallow and poorly implemented. The gameplay consists of you activating a "time stop" mode where you rapidly deal damage, then running around with your abilities disabled trying not to get hit (its impossible in some instances) until the timer resets and you can do another time stop. -They tried to repeat Bastion's storytelling style, but it really doesn't work for this story. -The Sword talks way too much but says nothing of value or lore -On my gaming handheld, the game detected the controllers, but only for certain abilities. For other abilities, I had to use the touchscreen.
Story 10/10, Music 10/10, Gameplay 9/10, Takes 5-8 hours to beat. PLEASE BUY WHEN IT'S ON SALE!!
i won't say that this game is devoid of flaws. the bulk of the story has to be uncovered manually in function descriptions, which isn't the most immediately intuitive way to go about it. there are questions that go unanswered - partly, I suppose, because we see the world from the very limited perspective of a guy in a sword who simultaneously has lived in this world all his life and knows very little about the underlying machinations of the antagonists. it would make no narrative sense either for him to explain in depth how cloudbank works, or for him to divulge the motivations of the camerata. the game relies heavily on implication to convey lore, which it does well but which I understand can be frustrating to those wanting clear answers. that said, this game has fully burrowed its way into my brain. everything from the atmosphere to the dynamic of the two protagonists to the somber, haunting 'we are alone at the end of the world' feeling of this game presses on all the right buttons in my cerebrum. my feeling is you will either love this game or find it meh, depending on your particular brain chemistry. for me, i'm so glad i picked it up and I recommend that everyone at least try glancing at a playthrough, just to see if it's something that might appeal to you. the music is gorgeous, and i've been looping first 'paper boats' and then 'in circles' for a couple of days. 10/10 game I love doomed romance.
él Al comprar este juego no tenía tan altas expectativas de él ya que el gameplay no me convencia al verlo en vídeos, lo compre principalmente por ser el juego mas interesante de esta desarrolladora después de Hades y puedo decir que a pesar de solo haber hecho una sola run del juego me conmovio profundamente, su arte visual es hermoso y la música es impresionante, el final me hizo llorar y al dominar la mecánica de juego este se vuelve muy entetenido y estrategico, le doy un 20/10 es pecialmente por el final.
Не сложное прохождение с историей
[i] За красивой оберткой Transistor скрывается довольно посредственный геймплей и совершенно не понятный сюжет... [/i] [h3] О сюжете... [/h3] Он скомканный, персонажи не раскрываются за одно прохождение, да и их описание написано на непонятном языке русскими буквами. Постоянно бубнящий меч, даже во время боев, очень раздражал и отвлекал, из за чего случалась перезагрузка способности и сокращения моих нервных клеток. Главная героиня, как персонаж, понравилась: наверное потому, что всю игру ничего не говорит, а только очень красиво напевает. Я был очень рад концовке игры: во первых - тем, что она наконец настала; во вторых - в ней присутствует драматургия), меланхоличная музыка и опять же красивая обертка. [h3] Злосчастный геймплей... [/h3] Безрадостный игровой процесс, можно и так его обозвать! Поначалу, мне очень понравилась механика прокачки и комбинации приемов. Я даже загорелся мыслями: какие комбинации приемов буду подбирать в дальнейшем, чтобы быть эффективнее. Но по мере прохождения понял, что смысла в них большого нет: потому что привыкаешь играть приемами, которые тебе сунули в первой половине игры. Во время боев ловил себя на мысли, что не хватает обыкновенной тактической паузы без потери очков хода, чтобы можно было спокойно, без суеты спланировать свои действия. Без неё каждое сражение проходит стремительно. Ты не успеваешь сообразить, как действовать, а тебе уже надавали "по шапке", да еще и забрали комбинацию удара, которую ты с десяток минут до этого выстраивал - это деморализует! [h3] Вывод... [/h3] Я игру прошел часов за 10. Смотрел прохождения на ютубе, ребята ее проходят за 4 часа примерно... Видимо я пытался играть в тактику, а нужно было просто одну-две кнопки нажимать? Не знаю... Рекомендовать игру не буду. Слишком она унылая и нервотрёпная. Берегите себя!
Played 20 mins. Cried. Repeat. Thinking of trying that again soon when my mental health is more stable.
很喜歡音樂與美術表現,全成就不難, 因為這款遊戲變成Supergiant Games的粉絲。
История простая романтика, но как подано в футуризме и прописаны личности, легендарно
