Do you want a fantasy setting or a stylised sci-fi setting?

Played both, both awesome games, but I liked Transistor more.
The Combat system, the Story, everything. Transistor is in everything a little bit better ( in my taste at least)

BOTH! made me shed a tear

edit. but if I had to pick one ... Transistor. Liked the story and skills building way more here.

Haven't played Transistor, so Bastion it is!
The narrator is pretty great.

Bastion. If Transistor is slightly better, than you might be disappointed when you get Bastion later on. This way it can only get better (and I hear that Bastion is amazing! I need to play it, myself!)

Transistor's combat system simply wasn't my thing, so I vote for Bastion.

BOTH

why wait?

Played both and they're both indeed very nice games! Transistor is a bit more polished that is slightly better at everything but Bastion is more fast paced. So I am gonna suggest Bastion first, always save the best for last. If you can squeeze in somehow and get the bundle with both that'd be the best though :P

I'm debating this too, HOWEVER, if I'm buying either one right now, it's going to be Transistor. Why? Because its at best ever sale right now. Bastion has been bundled several times before and it has been available for cheaper.

• Same developer
• Similar gameplay
• Bastion came out first, Transistor is like a "spiritual successor"
• Transistor improved the weaknesses Bastion has, but Bastion didn't have much to begin with.

If it has to be one, than Transistor. If not, then Bastion first then Transistor.

I'd go with Transistor.

I played Transistor and it was really boring for me.
I have never played Bastion, but everything should be better than Transistor...

Both are really great, but Transistor is definitely my favorite of the two.

50% vs 50%
Sorry man, you have to buy both.

I have an unpopular opinion, but I didn't like bastion and regret getting it.

The Bastion Demo never clicked for me. Cant say anything about Transistor. Both still wishlisted but on low priority.
maybe you think about https://www.bundlestars.com/en/bundle/indie-legends-4-bundle instead?! idk, your choice

I liked Bastion more, I felt it had better story and more interesting setting.

I just played bastion, so i can't help you here

Personally only played Bastion, but Transistor is on my WL. So at the moment my vote is to Bastion

Bastion. Transistor is like the same thing in a different setting, which disappointed me quite a bit. Similar plot, similar developments along the way... it just didn't feel... fresh, like Bastion did.

I keep reading Bastion AND Transistor.....go figure....
