***** So, by your logic, if a book it's written on a computer, it's not art? An ilustrator uses a digital drawing pad is not an artist? Programming it's only half what the game is. textures, character models, music and script are made by human beings with creativity and artistry. People who draw sketches on paper, write story ideas on notebooks and jam with an instrument until something beautiful comes out of it. Art is art, regardless the tool you use to make it, in this case (mainly) a computer, or the medium you choose to expose it. Ergo, games can be art.

[@OzixiThrill]

Every time I get back here, I realize. The soundtrack itself is nothing earth shattering. The gameplay is fun, but nothing groundbreaking. The story, while not that often used is not new either. The characters are not overly deep and can be summed up in a few words. Yet the story makes the simple characters shine. The characters give meaning and emotional depth to the soundtrack. The soundtrack makes the gameplay more engaging. The gameplay paces the story just perfect. All in all, despite consisting of merely above avarage components, the way they are weaved together makes the game exceptional. While I like to refrain from making such statements openly, I do think that Transistor is masterfully put together.

[@space_cowboy007]

+OzixiThrill exactly, Transistor consists *only* of above average elements, and if you think about it, there isn't a lot of games like that.

[@OzixiThrill]

TwiggyWan Kenobi It's not exclusively above avarage... The music and story can be considered above avarage. The gameplay is pretty avarage and the characters, I'd venture as far as to say were below avarage.

[@space_cowboy007]

it's up to how you felt about both gameplay and story then. From my games experience it definitely stood apart.

[@Nr4747]

+OzixiThrill The story is actually *really* groundbreaking, if you take the time to "smell the roses" (aka pick up most of the little hints and bits here and there) and think about it. The main themes of the game seem to be how and if "true" change/progress can be achieved when everything recurs aka "goes in circles" - and, to a lesser extent, what it means to be "human" in a digital society/world.

[@OzixiThrill]

Nr4747 Which is groundbreaking how exactly? It is far from the first game, (not to mention other media) to tug on the concept of what it means to be human, in any enviroment, really. The events that try to evoke these thoughts are ones that don't take insane levels of imagination to come up with. So, again, I ask - How exactly do you think that Transistor's story is groundbreaking?

[@e1221]

Is it weird that I listen to this (and the extended version) for pretty much every situation? I listen to this in the car, on the bus, doing schoolwork, or just general background noise when I'm wandering the internet, drawing, or just chilling like I've (literally) memorized what piece comes after the other as well as the general tune for the hummed version I think I have a problem here

[@kierengert6177]

Not at all, that's the kind of thing good music should get out of someone, and honestly, I think the idea that video game music is somehow less valid than regular music is a load of bunk and this among other wonderful pieces we get exposed to is undeniable proof of that, but I suppose I'm not a musically gifted sort so the most I know of it is what I like, but anyway. For me this is music I like to listen to when I'm feeling particularly downbeat, either I've had one of those days at work or I'm just for whatever reason feeling kinda down. I remember one time when I was feeling particularly lonely and I got my whiskey on, I was listening to this and when Paper Boats came on I just broke down HARD, I was sobbing something fierce, it was really quite a pathetic display, can't think of any other time music has ever had such an effect on me, sure I've been choked up by music before but never like this. So honestly, if you have a problem, then I have an even bigger one, hope that reassures you =p

[@princessthyemis]

+E Lee Just be careful not to overdo it to the extent where you then hate it for years to come. I've accidentally done that.

[@e1221]

princessthyemis Nooooooooooo... that sucks... I've done that for some songs as well. Especially the ones that have an association with real events or a time period.

[@Eon2641]

+E Lee I wouldn't consider it weird, but then I've done the same thing with the approximately 2 1/2 hour long soundtracks of both FF8 and FF9 soooo... take that with a grain of salt.

[@berg_berg]

+E Lee for Fallout 4 I turned the in game background music down and played this instead, fits in really well. But ya to your point this music lets you "think" and is not overly detracting. Almost mechanical in how it is repetitive but does not repeat a chorus.

[@Nocturnes1984]

TokeTaker420 Whats good about it? Just noticed it on Steam

[@TokeTaker420]

Airborne Interesting combat system. Great artwork. Awesome story that left me with a lot to think about. I picked it up for free on PSN so obviously I can't say if it is worth buying but it probably is with a summer sale. The only issue I see is lack of replay-ability, but the reason to keep playing that I am aware of is to experiment with all the abilities you earn.

[@gmoney5365]

Airborne I think this game is literally my favorite 'indie' game - period. It is a sum that is greater than its parts. The production (Graphics, artistic style, inspiration, music) is fantastic, but the mechanics are equally as immersive, with so many different combat possibilities that game quite honestly allows you to play it your way and find a strategy that works for you where many options exist. Finally the story is very interesting, and thought provoking - perhaps a little esoteric, but definitely deep. After Bastion, I payed full price for entry and did not regret it. Play it if you like action RPGs and/or SciFi in the vain of Cowboy Bebop, The Matrix, Blade Runner, or The Crow

[@jake7725]

Airborne And the music is *fucking* amazing... Same with Bastion, Supergiant games' music is just awesome.

[@Nebulisreconx]

happy toe Indeed if destiny wasn't so OVERLY advertised and blown up to the point everyone created godly expectations that the game couldn't hope to live up to. People would be able to appreciate the raw experience without dissatisfaction. Fact was the promo's for destiny had more appeal than the actual game to many people.

[@cameronjohnson918]

God man, Supergiant's games are so elevated by their music. I've been playing games since I was 5 years old, and I can say with fair certainty that the boss fight against Sybil to 'In Circles' is just locked into my brain as one of the most memorable moments I've played in a game. I think its due to how Red sounds so regretful and vengeful. The fight is sad and bitter and a moment of triumph against a selfish person who genuinely cared for Red. The way the villains of Transistor accidentally doomed Cloudbank in their hubris is just a detail I love, it colors the whole story in this very human way. I always forget how awesome and emotionally complex the stories this studio creates are, and then another game comes out....

Was never a huge "fan" of TB's content myself, but he did some very valuable stuff for the consumer over the years. Rest in peace you relatably cynical bastard. I honestly think a hole was left in the general "gaming community" when he passed. But he has forever been immortalised as one of the most used Twitch emotes, and if getting your face spammed thousands of times a second in front of millions of people isn't a solid legacy by itself, idk what is :^)

[@NoCareLuke]

Transistor's soundtrack has a lovely lounge style with techno/drum & bass hints blended into it. This attention to atmosphere makes the game ever so more enjoyable to play when the beautiful tones of Ashley Barrett's voice soothe your eardrums while you bash a whole manner of nasty little processes with your USB (c'mon, you know it looks like one) sword. All in all, this soundtrack suits the mood and architecture of the game and makes the game insanely good!

[@pxldj]

[@bulletproofrecon1082]

This game is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!! I LOVE the storyline and the artwork is OUT OF THIS WORLD. You actually feel bad for her "Red" and the "sword". There is this lonely feeling in the world and it kind of makes me feel we're set in the future where outside is scorched by the sun or the sun doesn't exist anymore so they turned a city into a bubble and created a false sky. People tried to live like they once did but crazy shit happens. It's not a hack and slash bloody game so don't waste your time if you're looking for blood. This game is a special type. I thoroughly enjoyed this style of gaming and hope they come out with more.

[@PKblaze_Twitch]

Just a heads up to anyone listening to this, listening to the soundtrack online doesn't do the game justice, it gets way better in the game. The music actually changes in the game, it changes depending on a few things. Like in a battle against a boss "In Circles " changes and in the end sounds very much different to the track that began playing originally, it's pretty damn awesome.

[@MinkusTheCat]

Yeah, the music here is pretty dang good, but it was made for the game and when you play the game with the music, it's so amazing and beautiful!

[@winterfire567]

Dynamic music~? Does it work sort of the way Banjo Kazooie did?

[@ShikukuWabe]

the music ingame has 3 versions - background music (mostly what u hear here just without lyrics), combat music (in 'turn' mode, which is silent) and when Red hums the music (pressing tab while ingame) which also creates a majestic glowy effect and a projector on red. theres also some cutscenes in which u hear some of the lyrics but its usually short versions

[@PKblaze_Twitch]

Sandwhale Gaming I couldn't really tell you as I have no experience with Banjo Kazooie. And yes I understand that I need to go and play it ;)

[@winterfire567]

As long as you have that understanding, I won't reprimand you for not having played it. ;P

[@sharsasuke01]

I remember watching the trailer for this and it had Old Friends playing in the background. It was fucking magical.

[@Lolasaurous1337]

Man, its been five years since I played Transistor but Old Friends and The Spine still make my heart falter. That to me is the power that can come from a developer that knows how to craft experience.

[@crazygur1y]

The reason I loved this game to bits was because of the overall feel of the game. Its was a strange combination of languid and hopeless (with a city in shambles and the protagonist losing her voice) yet overwhelmingly peaceful and, and... hopeful! haha I felt very immersed in the game and thats why I loved it so much. Props.

[@crestfallenknight7983]

I played it during January university holidays back in 2015. This game makes me feel the winter chill and remember how the sun shone in winter mornings. So inspiring. The game is a masterpiece.

Darren and Ashley have got to be the most unique and defining combo of artistic intent, form and function in the medium. It's always such a treat to discover the vibe and sound for a new Supergiant game. I remember being so excited when Transistor was announced at that Sony conference, hearing We All Become for the first time... Bought that song as soon as I saw it on a digital store. Still floors me.

[@originalusername7186]

Am i the only one who liked transistor better than bastion? both are great games but i'm leaning towards transistor.

[@TeaserTravlein]

In terms of gameplay? Bastion. I simply feel more capable and I'm far better at it. Transitor has a more interesting story

[@ectofrost]

Transistor is their best game but that's saying a lot because every game they've made is amazing. Transistor is just such a unique little gem of a game.

[@mr.felipiux6392]

I don't know man, transistor mechanis feel way too weird but i love the experimentation, I love the all the little details, the description in every person, how u need to use them in different spots to remember learn more about then, but at the same time, this people are of 0 real interest to the player (beside the camarada) and we only get a dialogue the first time we get then, the ost in both are amazing and work amazingly well whit the narrative, but bastion uses his 4 main characters so well, love,hate, xenophobia, betrayal, cold war. From a total perspective bastion is the better game for a bit.

[@ectofrost]

@@zakaria653 Good list. I haven't played Hades yet but my ranking of the three I have played would be Transistor for gameplay, Pyre for story, and Bastion is a tough one. I was going to say art direction but then I remembered Pyre is drop dead gorgeous as well. I love them all though.

Is that you Marcel Duchamp?! But seriously I have the exakt same opinion, it surprises me that same think otherwise.

[@SridalB]

what do you think of the statement art is in the eye of the beholder? Isent art something more personal, if it opens your mind, amazes you, makes you feel, is it art? and doesnt that differ from person to Person? just how I used to think about art

[@jackiesstories2038]

Art is technically what our eyes pass to our brians, since it's basically just a collection of colours, sounds etc. and we just have a habbit of connecting those to a certian feeling. So either you say art still exists for ourselfes even when we don't see it (hearing a tree fall) in which case: Art is everywhere or nowhere. Or we ourself have just as much part in making a painting, art as the artist. Placebo pills have a succes rate of about 40%. Our mind is doing some work and what we believe to be, has a good chance of actually existing.

You should officially release the Bastion soundtrack here as well, you are missing out on another video with basically the same amount of views as this one, if not more.

I feel as though you really deserve the revenue though and high-quality uploads are great.

[@jackawaka]

[@ToastyMcGoo]

I played this game solely based on the sound track. Then ending made me cry. It was a wonderful story with an amazing soundtrack. I'm bummed that I didn't realize I could listen to red hum during the game. There are hummed versions of all of her songs. You can just press a button and listen to her, just like having her do little tricks with the transistor.

I think The Spine song would've been fantastic *during* the Spine fight. The absolute chaos of the battle would've made an interesting fit with the calm edge of the song. Even though what they used worked really well to amplify the panic, I think the emotional battle between cool, collected, and absolutely terrified would've been pretty neat.

[@LuciferArmand]

This is a soundtrack up there on the board with Deus Ex: Human Revolution and other amazingly composed soundtracks in my opinion. And the game it's attached to is amazing as well, and the soundtrack fits perfectly with the mood. You guys keep this up, and you're gonna be huge. Mark my word.

[@Arexion5293]

Human Revolution's soundtrack was good, but not THAT good. It's great ambience, but nothing as developed as this. Its songs don't even have properly developing structures, but rather just jump straight into the mood they want to create. Transistor on the other hand offers developing songs that increase the depth of the mood/s its trying to convey as the songs go on, thus adding more depth to the overall atmosphere. Plus melodically they're much deeper, especially with some interesting chord progressions and changing time signatures.

[@aaronng7138]
