My thoughts on Transistor: (no spoilers)

Amazing game, really, once you get used to the combat. It's got amazing visuals and sound, the story is incredibly engaging, difficulty is right in it's place, but...
The game is so short! Seriously. I beat it in 3 hours, that's it. I would have LOVED for a longer game, but now it's just up to a Newgame+ mode to see how that fares.
Visuals:
10/10 no questions
Sound:
9/10 Good, but not quite Bastion level. Some songs are rather drab, but I suppose it fits the mood at times.
Gameplay:
7/10 Like I said, you need to get used to the combat, but once you do and start playing with the (thousands) of combos, it can be quite entertaining. Plus new game +. Not a huge variety of enemies, and some can be very annoying with high damage and rapidly stunning attacks.
Story:
9/10 Really loved it. But again, length takes some away from this.
Difficulty: (1 being easy, 10 being hard)
6/10 Once you get used to the combat, you notice it's pretty hard to actually -die-, but enemies have strong-ish AI and patterns. Good level of difficulty, plus they have modifiers to make the game harder if you want, just like Bastion.
