    With Bastion,Supergiant Games proved it doesn't just know how to make a game, but how to think about them. Games tell stories with cutscenes and dialogue because "that's how it's done." New Game+ is a trope because "games just have those now."Reactive narration, story justifications for design tropes: it was clear Supergiant put a great deal of time into thinking about how to make something different with Bastion on top of what was otherwise a fairly standard action-RPG. Oh, and it had fantastic music.Transistor doesn't play to Bastion's strengths - that's one way to put it. You might also say "Transistor doesn't try to copy past glory and past success." You'd probably be right.Instead it's content with being a pretty good cyberpunk-noir-fantasy-mystery-romance-action/turn-based-RPG with great art and zero handholding. If you're into that sort of thing.Oh, and it has fantastic music.

    I was an enormous fan of the addictive action and light RPG elements of 2011's Bastion, and have fond memories of playing the game late at night in my college dorm room, while my roommate wondered who my new friend was with that deep and intimidating voice. So when Supergiant Games pulled back the lid on their latest gaming project this morning, I didn't need a voiceover narrator to tell me how excited I was.

    Bastion Review

    You wake up in your bedroom from one of the deepest sleeps you've ever known, head nestled safely in your trusty pillow. A soft blanket surrounds you with warmth and comfort. Only on this particular morning, you shake off the fog clouding your head to discover that your whole world was destroyed as you dreamt. You get up, walk through the door and are aren't quite sure if the dream has ended. The ground forms at your feet as you start out on the path to meet up at the Bastion. That's all you know you're supposed to do.
