Transistor's story, art and soundtrack, as well as the brilliant action mechanics and modular upgrade system put this title in my top 10 favourites of all time.
I loved Bastion, but this game just didn't do it for me. Granted, I only logged about 3-4 hours or so and perhaps more is necessary to truly see it's scope. I wanted to like it so bad, but felt the combat was a bit dull.
One of the few games in the world that has surpassed my love for The Legend of Zelda. Beautiful soundtrack, artwork, and a story that takes my breath away. The upgrade system is really good for custom gameplay too. Very few complaints.
