It’s one of those rare games that feels less like something you beat and more like something you experience; it's like walking through a vidid memory, or dreaming a dream that somewhat becomes a reality and you're stuck with a sense of déja-vu. The first thing that struck me was how deliberate everything feels. Nothing rushes you. The story starts off simple enough; a lady picks up a blade that can somehow communicate with her, and that's literally the only thing that ties you, the player, to this amazing universe! A talking blade who notices that Red, your protagonist, has lost her voice. As you advance through this desolate dystopia, with robotic beings managing everything, you pick up pieces of the puzzle, one after the other... This game is amazing not because that's your only sense of progression (the puzzle you're trying to recompose) but because the game succeeds in tying you emotionally to a mute girl and its talking sword. The combat is like nothing you'd ever see in any other game. It alternates between strategic monitoring of your acquired combat skills and a direct free for all where you're hiding and recovering for your next planning phase... and trust me when I tell you, that blue meter cannot refill fast enough lol. Those moments of waiting for it to refill so you can enter your next Planning phase is the most stressful 5 or 6 seconds of your gameplay. The music deserves special mention. It doesn’t just sit in the background; it shapes the mood of every moment. Tracks shift seamlessly between calm reflection and tense confrontation, reinforcing the feeling that gameplay and narrative are inseparable parts of the same whole. The soundtrack literally works wonders as it gives meaning to the world around Red, whose heart once beat for the feeling of a mic in her hands. Let's just say it's one of those games that will pacify villains... Every single player in the grand scheme of things has a backstory behind him or her; even the Camerata (those treacherous villainous idiots that'd rather give away their freewill and MERGE with the process for a tiny bit more power). Transistor, to me, is a [b]10/10[/b] masterpiece, no questions asked... I mean I was about to give it a 9.5 instead but my reasoning for it is that it was TOO SHORT... I loved it to bits, but it was like three hours of gameplay tops and that's quite sad because it left so many questions unanswered and that ending is just... I felt like they could've done more than that ending. But anyways, if there's ever a Transistor 2 I'd be the first one to play it. This game is epic!

Настолько уныло, что уже невыносимо. Я в пошаговую RPG пришёл играть? Почему так медленно? На каждой арене одно и то же. Ставишь паузу, прожимаешь на случайные атаки и ждёшь, пока героиня всех уничтожит. А у врагов немалое количество здоровья, и приходится повторять эти действия раз за разом. Безумие какое-то. И какому идиоту пришло в голову периодическое отключение атакующих способностей. Это типа чтобы игроки не спамили имбовыми атаками?

Short and pretentious story that's intentionally confusing, annoying voice overs (think Bastion but this time a dull guy commenting on every little thing), and the gameplay is tedious walking around with random combat that is designed to be frustrating since every enemy counters you in some way with shields, invisibility, pulls, or explosive projectiles you can't outrun. Now imagine they're all spamming this across the screen. And your movement is always slow. You also have long delays for every one of your moves. Even the dash ability. You basically have to find some exploit combination attack that either let's you one-shot the biggest problems on the screen or do a slow drain attack for a few % damage as you dodge around until you need to apply it again. Lastly, there's many unskippable cutscenes making it an extra fun slog to play it through a 2nd time for the achievements.

The year is 2025 and Transistor is still the best game made by Supergiant Games smh

Just make sure you watch some combat scenes before buying it. I personally love this game, but I can see the frustration of people trying to handle these combat mechanics if they didn't expect them.

The music and singing in this is so good, it compelled me to try to learn singing. I made some progress, but I'll never be as good or as dedicated as the singers in this. The soundtrack was a worthy competitor for Bastion's which was simply amazing. The game itself is very fun, the visuals are great, but the music is just stellar.

Great game that does itself no favours with being an art statement first, and a great game second. It plays like nothing else and does little to explain anything to you. You really only start to get it on the 2nd playthrough ... yes, you heard it right, you only start to understand and "feel" it when you've already beaten the game once ... good thing it's short, 6h give or take ... but it's so unorthodox it will turn off a lot of unfortunate people. I almost gave up on it ... almost ... and I really glad I didn't because this game is an achievement and a statement with a simple yet powerful ending. If you ever used Sandevistan in Cyberpunk 2077 or know what it is ... this game is basically built around this concept. That should get you started with how combat works at least. It's all about using your active turn planning, as it slows down time and gives you an advantage over pretty much anything else if you use it wisely. Good luck, have fun : )
