One of the best 2d indie titles on GOG

The game is more focused on the story than the combat The history is very nice, the voice actor did a great work. The original soundtrack combines very well with the game. The game has an average duration, it is not short, but not very large (6-8 hours maybe?) The graphics are great, the characters are well designed. the cinematics are also pretty nice The combat is similar to an isometric ARPG, you have to fight with many enemies at the same time, but here you can pause the combat to plan you moves and attacks. It is not a hard game, but you can make your enemies harder with limitators (You will get bonus experience if you use limitators). You can also access to secondary challenges in some parts of the game.

simply spectacular

I don't know what else to say. Everything about this game is jaw-dropping. The art, the story, the characters... What a testament to their narrative, that you become so connected to a narratively muted main character and her sword companion, while only able to piece together the story through context, inference, and unreliable narration from the characters you encounter. the combat was admittedly difficult for me to grasp (I'm terrible at strategy), but even I was able to muddle through somehow. if I had more a mind for it, I'm sure I would have found it a thrilling system. my own limitations meant that I found them intriguing, but I still struggled. it's a thought provoking and moving game, and should stand as testament to the potential and power of video games as a narrative art form.

A stylish, clever, beautiful game.

Transistor is a tiny and colorful short gem. Its combat system is neverending, its narrative really good and credible and its universe pleasantly reminding Portal. The only thing that saddened me was its relative short length. It's indeed a short game, but the possibility for a second run with more powerful enemies kind of makes up for it. It's a good thing, as the combat strategies seem endless; the weapon combinations and levelling system are really well thought-out, and even though being a bit laborious at first, you can play the game as it was either a fast paced beat them up or a carefully planned turn-based RPG. The story in Transistor is as deep as you're ready to dig in. You can just walk through the levels and have the scenario's outline, or you can try to unlock all the character's depictions to dive deeper into Cloudbank's city and let the incredibly rich atmosphere of the game sink in. The latter being completed by the astonishing trip-hop OST makes Transistor's universe one of the most enjoyable I've played. To wrap it up, Transistor is a dense experience, for the eyes, the ears and the brain. It will take you to the beach, inside a computer, and on the highway without telling you too much about what's going on, and let you find your own style of nailing it.

Just magnificent game

Very solid and cool game, one of several for last years that left so harmonic feel. Strong and original art-direction, strong sound and music, exciting gameplay, laconic and original story that narrates smoothly and easy. And also different enemies that needs different tactics along with many skills variations and quite hard challenge in battles make gameplay really catchy. What else do you need? Somebody says that game is too short, but as for me it lasts enough to tell all that necessary and don't lose dynamics. So it's lenght is a plus too.
