Our Take
I love Transistor’s neon-drenched art style, strategic battle system and talking weapon that’s reminiscent of the narrator from Supergiant Games’ 2011 title Bastion. I’ll definitely grab it for Switch.
However, live actors in video games have always weirded me out. I’m not sure why—in the medium I love most, I’m open to variations on graphics, gameplay and pretty much everything else. Experimentation is my reason for returning to gaming so often. Maybe I’ll use Corpse Killer to confront my apprehension, although, I should pick a game with less bloodthirsty zombies.
