Transistor
Uhhhh full spoilers under the cut in this one. I cannot contain myself and there's nowhere for it to go but the void so TO THE VOID IT MUST GO. Like I cannot stress enough how the FIRST SENTENCE under the cut is going to spoil this game. I TRULY CANNOT HOLD BACK, THIS IS NOT A "LET ME PEEK" SPOILER CUT IT IS A LAND MINE OF A SPOILER CUT. There isn't even that much under the cut it's literally just me screaming the ending and if you don't already KNOW the ending then I actually just recommend you ask me rather than reading what's behind the cut because I will spoil you in a much more narratively satisfying way. THE CUT IS FOR THE VOID AND FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE PLAYED THE GAME. NO ONE ELSE!
The short pitch so you can decide if you want to play it or not: Transistor is a game about a woman with a fuck-off sword that talks because her boyfriend's soul is inside it. The woman does not talk because a shadowy organization stole her voice. She fights a bunch of robots about it. I AM...IN LOVE....WITH A TALKING SWORD. It's by Supergiant, the same studio that made Hades, which will become immediately apparent within the first second of gameplay because IT LOOKS JUST LIKE HADES, and it's actually very cool how you can see a lot of the bones of what eventually became Hades' combat/boon/heat systems here, but it doesn't play like Hades does in any significant way. It took me five and a half hours on Switch. The learning curve on the combat can be wonky but it's pretty forgiving (save points between every battle etc). IT'S A LOVE STORY BABY JUST SAY YES.
RED KILLING HERSELF FUCKING RULED ACTUALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! THE COUNTRY WAS REAL ALL ALONG!!!!!!!!!!! MAYBE NOT "REAL" BUT IT'S REAL ENOUGH TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ohhhhh holy shit what a story. What a fucking story. I can imagine playing and being fucking furious that Red is just like "GUESS I'LL DIE" when she can't revive Auden BUT UHHHHHHHH IT RULED? I ALSO ONLY CARE ABOUT BEING REUNITED WITH MY SWORD BOYFRIEND. Oh my god oh my god oh my god. THE COUNTRY WAS REAL. I THOUGHT IT WAS LIKE A MORBID EUPHEMISM FOR BEING MURDERED BY THE GOVERNMENT BUT THE COUNTRY WAS REAL!!!!!!!!! THEY WERE TOGETHER AGAIN IN THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT TO LIVE INSIDE THIS GAME ACTUALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
