Transistor

Red is a singer who has lost her voice, but she has gained a massive, talking greatsword that serves as her only companion in the neon-soaked, crumbling city of Cloudbank. This isometric action-RPG forces you to think as much as you fight, blending real-time movement with a tactical planning mode that lets you freeze time to queue up devastating combos. It is a stylish, melancholic journey where the narrative is woven directly into the combat mechanics, rewarding you for experimenting with the weapon's modular functions while you unravel a conspiracy involving the mysterious Process.
