What I Played Today: March 7

Transistor

I restarted Transistor, because I had gotten it for free on my PS4, and I wanted to show my sister something pretty because she was in a crappy mood. So I played through the first boss and up to the second one, and the game is clicking with a lot more than it did before (Oh by the way, I played Transistor before, during the dry times). The gameplay has a good flow to it, the way you combine powers to get better effects and how each power has a unique feel and use is great. For some reason I really like load(), which adds an explodable grenade to the field. I just which I had more memory; I've got to get more eventually, right? There are 16 unlockable slots in my loadout, and I want to use them all.

Also the story makes a lot more sense this time; at least as much sense as this world does, which is not a lot! But I know who most of the characters are, how they relate to each other, and I'm pretty sure everyone is part robot? It's the only way this magic disappearing city makes a bit of sense. It's probably all happening in a computer that is being defragged, like goddamn Reboot.
