UK-Danny-93 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 For people who have played both, how do the games compare/contrast? I played Bastion on PC and while I enjoyed the visuals and the narrator, I couldn't get into the combat. Just wasn't for me. Transistor looks interesting to me from a visual/sound/narrative perspective but I'm concerned I'll struggle to enjoy the game play mechanics. Is there much difference between the games in this regard, or in a wider sense that might help me decide whether or not to get it? How well does it work with a controller compared to kb+m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExHaseo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 They're similar, but Transistor tries to be more of a strategy game, but uses similar mechanics to Bastion. It's like it's trying to be an action game and a strategy RPG at the same time, but doesn't do either very well. That's what I thought at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yahtzee is pretty much on point with his review. I kinda felt the same, kinda had to force myself through the first 2-3 hours, but the game does get really good as soon as you fully understand the combat and begin to experiment with it. A lot of the fun comes from planning your attack and watching it unfold, but it takes a bit of time to get good enough to have that actually happen. If you're someone who likes to get the plat for every game he plays then i absolutely recommend Transistor, your second playthrough will be absolutely fantastic. If not i'd still give it a shot if you're willing to force yourself a little or like music. Trasnsitor has really good music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time4Tiddy Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 There's no reason not to play this now that it's free on PS+. It's one of my favorite games of last year for sure, possibly top 10 all time for style, story, and music. Even though it's free now, I'm actually glad I bought it, to support indie studios that are turning out high quality games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-SunSai-A Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I liked bastion a lot more. It had better story, audio and the environments were much more interesting in my opinion. Bastion did something to me, emotionally and transistor did not. Edited August 24, 2015 by A-SunSai-A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
