    I am tempted to buy transistor - is it pretty similar to Bastion? Pyre was amazing, but Im not sure if I need another straight forward RPG style game. Does it have some kind of unique hook?

    Into the Breach, Talos Principal, and Ori also look interesting. Although they’re all slightly different than things I usually play so not sure.

      Although I finished Bastion five times and Transistor twice, I’d still say Transistor is the better of the two while being comparable to their best game Hades.

        I ended up grabbing transistor and into the breach. I’ve had a beer too many to be any good at into the breach ATM, but loving transistor so far

                Yeah I think that was the first game I ever played by this developer. Love their style. I mustve just been busy or strapped for cash when Transistor hit. Then when I saw it go onsale before I thought it looked a bit like a bastion clone, so didnt pull the trigger. Thanks for tipping me over into buying it!

                  I still listen to the soundtrack, I prefer Transistor but as Bastion was the only one out back then I finished it 5 times.

      Ori is a nice game. It is quite casual at first, but it gets more complicated over time. The graphics are nice and the effects not over the top. The story is more…I would say somber?

      Overall, it was also a great game for my girlfriend. Visuals and story held her interest long enough to play through the whole game (even the more frustrating parts).

      I tried transistor right after Bastion and didn’t really like it in comparison… Then I went back to it loved it!

      It plays a lot different because of the whole action economy thing, but it’s definitely worth a try.

      I might pick up into the breach too, it looks like the sort of “puzzle” game I can get into

        Into the breach is amazing, it definitely plays like a puzzle game, the kind where you play the moves in your head to make sure the move you’re making now won’t come back and bite you in the ass 2 turns later :)

      The only bad thing I have to say about Into the Breach is that the final level is insanely hard on anything but the easiest difficulty - which is kinda on par with the creators of FTL. Either way, I highly recommend it!

      I would say it’s easier than bastion but has some interesting combo mechanics.

      supergiant knocked the story/art/music out of the park, as they normally do
