Is it better then Bastion? (Gaming)

I enjoyed Bastion but I feel that Transistor is the superior game for a number of reasons:

* The turn based option in combat (which you can activate or not at any point in a battle) makes the game very different and can help you solve battles as a puzzle if needed instead of relying mostly on your dodging and timing skills (which you can still use if you don't want to use the turn based option)
* The story is more serious and less whimsical - more of a personal preference, but I enjoy how weighty the story feels in Transistor compared to Bastion
* The sheer number of options for skills in the game. There are 15 set skills, and you can use a skill as an actual skill, a modifier for another skill (which there can be 2 modifiers on each skill), or as a global modifier. This means there are 22,283,705,698,113 combinations possible!
