Title
O segundo jogo da Supergiant Games tem no combate a sua razão de ser. Uma incrível e inovadora mistura de ação em tempo real e combate estratégico por turnos, é viciante desvendar cada uma de suas possibilidades e explorar as combinações possíveis. E a escolha de deixar a dificuldade customizável por meio dos limitadores é brilhante.

O combate é tão bom que me fez praticamente esquecer todo o resto do jogo, que é falho. A narrativa não é tão interessante nem bem contada, e a narração - embora isso talvez não tenha sido um problema em 2014 - me soou canastrona demais. Gosto de como o jogo utiliza a música como um elemento central, mas as faixas em si também não me chamaram tanto a atenção.

Acho que seria interessante se os desenvolvedores dessem ainda mais espaço para o combate brilhar, expandindo as ideias em detrimento da historinha meio capenga. De qualquer forma, se Transistor fosse só o seu combate, já seria um jogo muito bom.

Title
Transistor is a short action adventure game with a unique battle system combining turn based and active combat, and i had a great experience with it. It takes a long time to get into the game, at least for me, and considering its a short game it meant that i spent like half of the game really getting into grips with the unique combat system and the story telling and style. But once it clicked it becomes a really great ride.

I wish they allowed for more combat scenarios since its really fun to experiment with the combat, and the story maybe a bit too convuluted/cryptic for its own good, but overal i really enjoyed, way more than Bastion.

The visuals are amazing hand drawn art and gorgeious, as it is already typical for the work of these devs.

Title
A serious game that takes itself seriously
Very cool game. Well balanced gameplay, nice visuals, interesting settings and story. It tends to get a bit too gloomy though, making it unsuitable for some quick fun.

It's a confident game that lends itself to a good first impression but unfortunately the obtuse storytelling leave me little to invest in, the combat offers options but all of which are dull, and the unique world begins to feel monotonous. I think I might like it less than Bastion, which isn't saying much since I struggled to finish it.

    The narrative approach is gonna be really hit or miss for most people, but I kind of grew to love it. The gameplay is just incredibly fun once it clicks (which admittedly takes an hour or two of fumbling around) and the world is so fascinating as everything starts to come into focus. It's a game that really gets better the further you get into it, and becomes harder and harder to put down as you progress. Really enjoyed pretty much everything about this. This was my first Supergiant game, I gotta check out the rest of their catalog.

    I appreciate the nearly expositionless approach to storytelling they went for but it ends up being a little too cryptic for its own good

    Crazy how boring and monotonous the combat (and therefore the whole game) is, especially compared to how Hades turned out.

    I was loving the backdoor challenges until the performance tests just became "how many annoying ass fetches can we throw at the player until they rip their hair out"
