Transistor - Released & Review Roundup

by Couchpotato, 2014-05-21 00:42:10

Supergiant Games new ARPG game Transistor is now available on Steam for $19.99. I also managed to roundup a few new reviews that are mostly positive for the game.

Gamespot -  8/10

Transistor is a fun action role-playing game with a neat combat system, but beautiful moments like these make it more than that. They make it a game with a soul.

Hardcore Gamer - 4.5/5

Transistor is one of the strongest games of 2014 so far. Its unique take on standard video game practices make it feel undoubtedly fresh. With strong combat, great enemy design, and a lovely story.

Leviathyn - 9.5/10

For fans of Bastion, Transistor is even better, and a must buy for anyone looking for an exciting new take on turn-based combat and ability customization. Also Logan Cunningham.

PC Gamer - 80/100

A brilliant and rewarding combat system propels a story that never becomes as interesting as it seemingly should.

IGN - 9/10

Transistor is a wildly smart action-RPG that places all of its trust into your intelligence.

Only SP -  9.5/10

Transistor is a beautiful, confident exploration of art and music with rich combat and a heartfelt story.

Destructoid - 8.5/10

Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding it back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash.

Eurogamer - 9/10

Enjoy the artful approach to science-fiction, enjoy the hoops Supergiant's jumped through to position you in the right place to engage with its combat, and you can even enjoy the very fact that the game often struggles to get its deeper messages across.

Polygon - 8.5/10

Transistor may look like another pretty face favoring style over substance. It’s oozing with style and aesthetic charm, and it drew me into its weird and wonderful world immediately. But its beauty is outshined by combat deep enough to sink into for hours and hours. The game’s vision is intoxicating, and its execution is inspired.
