Transistor is a stunning game that paved the way for Hades. With its gorgeous visuals, captivating audio design, and immersive gameplay, it’s a true work of art. Though short enough to be completed in one sitting, its depth, beauty and unique gameplay mechanics left a positive impact on me.

Maybe my hope got too high for this game. IMO its obviously overrated because of its art. The combat seems deep and fun with lots of potential in the first hour cause you could customize your skills in many different ways, but soon I found every encounters more or less feel like the same. You just deal as much damage as you could in turn(), then play hide and seek until the cooldown is back. The encounters are not difficult but quickly feel like a chore. And the bad control handling didnt help at all. The atmosphere and story are okay but not good enough for me to ignore the boring combat.

Hey Red...
We're not going to get away with this are we...
