Transistor (Limited Run Games)
Developer Supergiant avoids falling prey to the perils of the sophomore slump with this gorgeous (and surprisingly heartfelt) sci-fi follow-up to Bastion.

Summary

In comparison to Bastion, Transistor feels rigid. As its own game, it tells a tightly controlled story with an experimental battle system. While the combat works, it contradicts the idea of thoughtful approach with gameplay that threatens to undermine anything over basic combinations.
