  I need to play both Bastion and this.

  
  

  I own Bastion but haven't redeemed it; Transistor is probably one I'll pick up down the road.

  Do it, do it!

  
  

  Full disclosure: the "Zia" part of my name is because of Bastion. Great game. Transistor is also quite good, and has a very fun weapons/combat system.

  I like Bastion a little better. Transistor's gameplay is deeper, the soundtrack in general is more my speed, and the lore is more my speed, but Bastion's plot feels a lot more comprehensible, the gameplay's simplicity works pretty well, the vocal songs are better integrated, and it feels less...constrained? -shrugs-

  Bastion is more fun and more dear to my heart. I like it more in general.

  
  

  Transistor has "better" music and better tone work in general, plus interesting ambiance and mechanics.

  I like Transistor better as an art object, but I preferred the gameplay in Bastion a bit more

  I prefer transistor personally as its more up my alley, not to say bastion wasn't a wonderful use of the medium and dare I say it, a masterpiece.
  
  I would argue perhaps that bastion is the better story of the two, but transistor the better game.

  The two are such different experiences I don't know if they can really be compared beyond personal preference. Bastion is freewheeling, branching out, and exploring; Transistor is laser-focused, relentlessly linear. This is a parallel that goes from their basic aesthetics (a bumpy world that gives you a sense of infinity and boundlessness by assembling itself around you, compared to straight tron lines & right angles) to the game mechanics (freeform battle, or planning and executing a precise sequence of events) all the way to their endings--Bastion gives you choices at the ending, Transistor deliberately takes away the player's control and puts the final decision in Red's hands.  Bastion would be a (high budget) TV series; Transistor is a movie.
  

  
  

  The biggest similarity is that both are about the end of the world, but even then: Bastion is post-apocalyptic, Transistor is apocalyptic. This is why Transistor ends with a suicide--apocalyptic thinking is a form of suicidal ideation--whereas one way or another, Bastion ends with a new beginning.

  Haven: that was an incredibly good post, and it put into words quite a few things I hadn't ever fully articulated about the games. 

  
  

  I love when people say what I want to say, but do it better.
