Should I buy Transistor or Rust?

Haven't played either, but I heard Transistor is a spiritual successor to Bastion, so you might enjoy that.

Transistor. Would you rather have a finished game or a game that isn't going to be finished for a year or two? Also keep in mind that there are a lot of hackers in Rust and the updates have been slow.

Go with Transistor! Haven't played it yet but it looks great.

Transistor.

Wait until Rust is finished before you bother imo. No point in buying an incomplete game for $20 when there are tons of polished, finished products for sale for that price or less (often much less).

This isn't even a question....Transistor obviously.

Both are on my wishlist but I'd go with Transistor first all the way.

i think rust is better

so all the people recommending Transistor, have any of them actually played it? LOL

Rust if you do have friends to play with. Transistor is SP so you can wait for it to be in a bundle.

From what I've seen from other people's footage, Transistor is a better product, obviously finished and with a lot of care put into it. As always, best course of action is: get more information, find reviewers/critics/players you trust, see what they think, look at some game footage yourself and decide what suits you best.

I thought this was why steam put in peer reviews?

Transistor

I would go with Rust, even though it isn't really a finished product I feel it has more re-playability to it especially with friends... I was convinced about this after watching UberHaxorNova play Rust (YouTube; you can watch it if you want to have a better idea of Rust)

transistor all the way :D

Don't even think of buying rust unless you have a fetish of being killed by stone-wielding naked men.

Are you serious? Transistor is the obvious answer. I just finished it and it's marvelous. 9.5/10.

Transistor was a fantastic game, but sadly, it's short. You'll spend a quality 5 hours with it, maybe 8 or 9 if you try to do all the challenges.

Transistor. Rust looks like the type of game you REALLY want a good computer for.

Or play games from your backlog that you've never touched and wait to get both of these games at 50-75% off :)

No real need to buy either game at full price.

"My computer is not the best in the world (pretty shit actually)"

If it's really bad, don't play Rust. Rust is badly optimized at the moment and even my pc can't stay at 60FPS all the time.

If your computer can handle it, buy it and play with your friends. (You might want to ask if one of your friends would try Rust on your computer before buying)

Transistor? Meh.... Not even interested:(

Buy the game that's actually finished

Transistor all the way. Shortish (took me about 7 hours on the first run while doing everything) with Recursion mode that adds more time (basically New Game + with upscaled encouters). Great art and delicious soundtrack.

Wait for The Forest! :)

Unless you plan on playing a game with friends.
