I think I'm just not good at the game, but I can't seem to find any use for Switch() - I have it permanently disabled because accidentally making enemies invincible outweighed the benefit of having them shoot at other enemies for a few seconds. I probably just suck or something though.
Easily the most wonderful voice in the game.
Yup. Chilling stuff.
Distraction. The friendly AI in this game is braindead, but being able to have 1 less guy attacking you on screen can be helpful early on.

Cheerleaders you Switch() will give you shielding; that can help you while you wait for your Turn to recharge.

pretty much my experience as well, I tried out Bastion but it didn't hook me and I was playing through some other games at the time and never got back to it (think I only played about an hour of it though?)
meanwhile Transistor I beat in two days of playing and am going to try to beat the new game plus mode as well since I found the story very intriguing
The bolded is incredible. Like, holy shit, for real. And Spark is perfect for picking up cells during recovery. Props dude, I blazed through the 2 other encounters I needed for the achievement! <3
Finding the grid based deal rather frustrating, running with 6 limiters now and whether my my packets go off is pretty crucial. The game deciding I want to hit the enemy instead of my packet is rather annoying and having to check whether or not I'm actually hitting them during the turn really pulls me out of the combat. Might be time to find another combination of attacks.

For people going after the Steam achievements, has anyone gotten Memory()? It's for unlocking 32 memory.

Oh yeah, after some advice, I'm OP as shit with this new setup, and every level makes me stronger.

I just finished the game tonight and enjoyed it a great deal with the exception of the final level's enemies. The last boss was a treat - and brings me the above:
During the last boss fight, it seems to take place in "The Country" or somewhere similar. In the arena are several pod-like things with people inside them. It may give credence to the above theory. And as to why the Camerata wanted Red - they didn't, really. From reading Cybil's background on the Help ability Cybill convinced them to go after her since she was infatuated with her.
Just finished the game. I've been really feeling like I've been growing out of games lately, or like the vast majority of new games aren't made for someone like me in mind. Transistor just hit the right spot in me and it was nothing but a complete joy to play. I can't wait to get NG+ started now. You've made something wonderful, Supergiant Games.

I just got the Platinum trophy, and I have to extend my congratulations to Supergiant Games for making the first truly great PS4 game.
I still hate the ending, though, and I'm pretty disappointed that Recursion Mode doesn't add anything to the story.
Spoilers for the entire game, including Recursion Mode.
Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed every other element of the game.

So Recursion Mode begins with Royce somehow talking to Red through the Transistor, saying they wouldn't get away with this or something like that. It would have been really cool if he had kept talking to you throughout the game, perhaps offering more insight into the nature of Cloudbank and the Process. Yes, that's a ripoff of Nier, but more games should ripoff Nier. And like all games involving endless loops (Recursions) the ending could change to reflect Red's and Royce's knowledge of the recursive nature of their situation/Cloudbank. But I guess Recursion Mode isn't actually part of the narrative even though the opening line changes. Lame.
Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed every other element of the game.

A bug? Limiter is still blowing up my shit when I unequip even though I turned it off. Still happening after a fight or so.

Maybe I shouldn't tell my secret... but get a group of 3 drones next to each to spawn in.
Use Mask. Use Summon doggy.
Activate Tactical Mode:
Use Void 3 times, then Cull (should take out the three drones). Then switch to the dog and attack fourth drone. Of course you need to have the functions upgraded as seen in the screenshot for this all to work properly. There's probably an even better method, I just haven't figured it out yet - but I'm happy with this.
EDIT: Just got 34,117 actually. Was more patient and got 4 drones to spawn right next to each other..
Not clear enough but that Limiter's effects linger through to the next Access Point you reach even after turning it off, to prevent a state where you could just toggle it off, reconfigure, then toggle it back on for the XP reward.

Oh man... this game. I just love it to death. I want a publisher to give this developer endless funding to make the most epic RPG of all time.

Almost plat.
Just need to finish Recursive.
Just need to finish Recursive.
Just keep leveling up.
I just did that one. Take it slow and make sure to have an excellent range/disrupt.
Ping() + Cull()
Purge() + Breach()
If possible, combine these with Jaunt to use after turn(). This allows you to keep up the pressure and keep enemies at bay at all times.
I'm struggling on Speed Test 6.

Yeah, I got it once I hit 20. What confused was that I read how people were getting it at level 17, apparently. I went to some PlayStation trophy website and that's where people were saying they got it so I thought maybe it was bugged on my end or something.
Well, I'm pretty sure what pops up on level up is totally random. I mean, I can just guess that that's the case since I've had some abilities I've turned down once pop up again later.
...I'm still waiting to continue playing the game since I've been on hold at the 7 hour mark after a game update knocked the game down to 5fps. This has been a.....fun experience. :|

Same here and I felt the same about Bastion. The combat isn't clicking for me at all at the moment but I'm enjoying the world and the graphics enough to plough through.
Man I love this game. Have been playing it on PS4 nonstop since it came out.
Some of the challenges are pretty hard in the sense that you have to find a good skill combo to beat them. I did that last performance test yesterday, I think it took me close to an hour! Pretty lengthy. Finished it on my first try though. My function setup was mainly based on Tap() with Tap() and Crash() as upgrades, Mask() and a few damage and Plan() enhancing passives. Then just spam Tap() all the time and use Mask() if you need loads of AoE damage. You heal yourself so much with this setup it's really quite hard to die.
Now I only need to finish new game+ for my platinum which should be easy. I really hope there's DLC with more content coming, I would be buying it without a doubt.
My only criticism of this game is that they should swap L1/R1 and L2/R2 when using remote play.

Played it yesterday nite, it completely blew me away with its aesthetics, its art direction, its atmosphere, its soundtrack.
Everything is just so incredibly fascinating, this morning i woke up and instantly thought about it a second after i opened my eyes.
Yeah, it's that good.
PS: visually is among the greatest stuff i've EVER seen in my life... looks like a true work of art (all made by one person!).

I was going to post about how great I thought his voice was earlier but I felt like it was too soon to even hint to anything in the late game given the lack of voiced characters in the title. His performance was totally unique and his melancholic rambling perfectly matched the tone of the game. As somebody who though the general audio was lacking next to Bastion he was real stand out, in fact if his voice replaced the mystery man like new game + suggested at the start I would have immediately played through the game again.

Just purchased it at work so it should be downloading at home right now, and people are already platting it? That's hardcore!
No, all the art work is 1080p. I think you can brute force 1440p in an ini I saw some one say but even that won't look ideal.
I just ran it in 1080p and it still looked ok on my 1440p monitor.
Just finished up. I think overall Bastion was the better game, world building was great and the sound track was unforgettable (Zulfs', Zias' and the Ending theme) compared to what I saw here. I think for each function the file inspection could have been done better, reading just doesn't flesh out each character that well IMO. The gameplay in transistor much, much better though. Going to go for a 100% I think with this. The gameplay is good enough to warrant it.
I thought Royce's VA was a little flakey until
, after that it was great. He slipped in and out of different characters/voices. It just be me but I caught in recursion
I'll see what else I dig up in the next playthrough but I'm not expecting my impression to change.

you met him in person
that it was actually Royce who says "Red, we're not going to get away with this are we" and not the guy.

This gameplay is really superb. When you realise how the powers come together, it's like that sensation of crafting your first weapon in Vagrant Story or getting a gambit set up right in FF12.
Indifferent to the story but love the artwork.
Anybody hesitating at the price - nothing else recently comes close to this much value for pure game design elegance. Nothing.

Jesus Christ this game is so good and I've only been playing for an hour!
It's sadly one of those games where as a spectator, the combat looks sort of average, but when you get your hands on it, the mechanics are just sublime.
Absolutely fallen in love with it already. The art, animations & music are wonderful as well of course, but I'm so glad the combat feels as great as it does.

The combat system has a crazy amount of depth.
My first play through, I spent the entire game in planning mode, now I spend the majority in real time.
Did NG+ last night, If you use help on the end boss, the game doesn't know what to do. It's actually more cheezy using Get+Cull.
I'm ready for a full feature length RPG with this combat system, maybe without losing powers upon dying though. The combos I've made, they make me feel powerful in this world. A lightning fast maelstrom of death.
Yup. At this point, I use Planning mode when I need to heal, and never otherwise.
