I return to this game every couple of years. Truly fantastic experience, from the music to the characters to the gameplay. The art direction is truly exquisite, and remains beautiful even almost 10 years after release. In some ways it's more visually striking and provocative than Supergiant's more recent efforts like Pyre or Hades. The gameplay is very unique and it's strange, but satisfying mix of turn based and real time combat is still something I've yet to see be improved upon by almost any other games. Transistor's combat scratches a particular itch that I can't seem to find anywhere else. The music is simply astounding, with some of the best vocal and instrumental work I have experienced in any game. Ashley Barrett's vocals and Darren Korb's orchestration are a match made in heaven, and they have been a regular feature on my Spotify since 2014. Although the story is vague and leaves much open to interpretation, the amazing visual design, soundtrack and dialogue create such a sense of place that the experience of playing Transistor trumps any issues I have with it's narrative aspects. Despite me loving all of their games, in some ways I think Supergiant has yet to top Transistor.
