In The Division, New York City is once again ravaged by a disease, this time spread via money. Unlike the virus from Prototype, this pandemic just seems like a really bad case of the flu. It puts a lot of people out of action, and puts massive strain on health services. When people don’t show up to work, nothing gets done. Essential services are devastated and civilisation begins to collapse. Intense.

The easiest way to describe Transistor is to compare it with Bastion, the previous release from Supergiant Games. While not a direct sequel, Transistor has a lot in common with its predecessor: quirky art style, action RPG combat, isometric viewpoint, mute protagonist. But don’t mistake it for a lazy rehash: Transistor has plenty of its own distinct flavour.
