Review Bastion (PlayStation 4)
Before Red, there was the Kid
It's utterly amazing how much the indie game scene has changed since 2011.

Review Transistor (PlayStation 4)
Bastion of brilliance
Supergiant Games' first effort Bastion is the quintessential indie: a relatively niche game that won over hearts and minds with its good looks and slick shooting.
