Introduction

The Game

Transistor was released in 2014 by indie developer Supergiant Games, the makers of 2011's Bastion, which it shares a lot with. They're both isometric action games with loadout customization, rpg elements, amazing visuals, great music, silent protagonists, and smooth-voiced companions that narrate throughout the games voiced by the same guy. Despite these similarities they are two very different games that set out to accomplish very different things. Whether Transistor is successful at those things is a question I hope to answer by the end.
