Welcome to Cyberpunk Book Club, where we look at the wide range of video games in the genre, play through a short slice and discuss the themes and ideas it presents. All art is political, and cyberpunk is one of the most commentary-heavy genres out there – let’s discuss it!
The second release from Supergiant Games, Transistor, is one of my favourite games of all time. A retrofuture, post-cyberpunk, art nouveau tragic romance with a heavy seasoning of tactical combat.
On this episode is Nathan and Will.
We track all our Cyberpunk Book Club thoughts in a live-updated document! Read up on our previous sessions here.
