Transistor

Мощно

Замечательная игра. OST просто пушка

One of my favorite games of all time. A stylish cyber-noire action RPG starring Red (a mute singer) and the Transistor (a talking sword) going after the wealthy, arrogant bastards that upended their lives in their efforts to take over the city of Cloudbank. What’s not to love about that? Music: Gorgeous post-rock with some real bangers from Cloudbank’s favorite singer, Red, her voice actor, Ashley Barret, and her composer, Darren Korb. Graphics: Futuristic Art Deco. Perfectly fits the singular vibe of the city of Cloudbank, of Red, and her friends and enemies. Sound and Voice Acting: Lovely and truly moving. Logan Cunningham voices Red’s stoic sidekick, the Transistor, and the Camerata are a gallery of villains you’ll love to hate from the first time you hear their voices. Writing: Please make your selections in a world where every detail of the city, down to the color of the sky, is decided by popular vote. Cloudbank is a wondrous and special place, but when everything changes, nothing changes. Transistor paints a lot of its world with the most subtle strokes, and the writing is key to making that happen. Systems: If you like Hades or Bastion, you’ll probably love this. Every single ability in the game can be loaded in multiple ways for maximum flexibility. Every ability can be an active button you press to do something, an add-on feature that remixes and makes another ability much better, or a passive ability that does something automatic to make everything Red does better. The number of combinations possible and the degree of customizations are… a bit insane, actually. Gameplay: Transistor plays with a nice mix of action and turn-based combat, as you plan out your moves and try to stay alive as a dangerous new foe, the Process, advances on Cloudbank. You’ll have a lot of abilities, and you’ll need them all. Transistor has so much going on. It was an incredibly ambitious project for Supergiant to take on after Bastion, and it iterates on and refines Bastion’s strengths in just about every possible way while also forging a unique world and story that has haunted me ever since I played it. It’s a classic. I still prefer it to Hades. Please play it before we all become…
