April 2026
At first, it feels like a simple indie game, but the further you progress, the more you start questioning everything around you. The combat system isn't just about fun—it reflects how you understand and experiment with it. Every ability you choose reshapes your entire playstyle, as if you’re redefining yourself with every battle. The story doesn’t explain itself directly; Instead, it gives you space to observe, infer, and understand. And when everything finally clicks, it hits much harder than you expect. Transistor quietly asks its main question: If everything about you could be turned into a “power”...would you still be yourself? Rating: 8/10

One of the games of all time. It's been almost ten years since I played Transistor but I still think about it, listen to the soundtrack and recommend it to people. Going to play it again sometime soon

I've beaten this game several times, and it brings me to tears every single time I don't know what black magic Darren Korb is using, but he is the best thing that happened to videogame OST's since Akira Yamaoka

Hi Red… Hey So supergiant Games were truly giant long before people realized it. Transistor isn’t just a game , it’s art in every form: story, music, painting, poetry, emotion. Every pixel, every chord, every whisper from the sword is crafted with purpose. It’s one of those rare experiences that, when it ends, leaves you hollow yet fulfilled , aching for more, but knowing deep down that the story is complete. The ending hits so good it almost feels wrong to replay it, like reopening a letter from someone you’ve already said what you wanted to say to them. When the final pieces connect, you understand something profound: being human with all our love, grief, and choice is a beautiful thing. And if you didn’t feel anything by the end, maybe you’re not human at all. Maybe you’re just another {Process}. Because in that silence, as the credits fade and the music swells, all i wanted to hear is just one thing… Hi Red… Hey

One of my favorite games of all time, and still my favorite Super Giant game. One of the first games I played when I got my first gaming PC. Something about the world just struck me so much at the time, maybe how unique it feels, it still has that feeling over a decade later. And somehow they made turn based combat more palatable, which is in my opinion Supergiant's greatest strength: They make genre's you would not usually like playable!
