While Bastion is hard carried by the art and sound design, Transistor has a lot more to offer.
The action RPG system mixed with real-time-with-pause mechanics took me some time to get used to. Once I did, I learnt to appreciate the depth of the skill combination system and the different play styles it provide. The game have small test levels that further challenge your understanding of the battle system.
The story is a simple one, but Supergiant is great at giving a classic tale a unique coat of paint. This time, the revenge story is set in a futuristic city that appears to be programmers' paradise. Those computer science language makes the game seems otherworldly, even though it doesn't develop anything new at its core.
