Transistor: A lady and her sword

Transistor is an artfully done sci-fi noir story featuring a mute singer and her talking sword.

TRANSISTOR comes to us from Supergiant Games, the people behind the outstanding 2011 action adventure game, Bastion. If you’ve played that game before, then you’ll likely remember it for three things: a narrator whose voice can out-sexy Barry White’s; a soundtrack filled with some of the most distinct, haunting songs in videogames; and a story that made you hunger for more of its ­mysterious, fractured world.
