The game's excellent presentation goes wonderfully with its surprising amount of variety. Transient might not be scary, but it is thought-provoking and unique, which makes it more than worth a look from narrative adventure fans.

Critic Reviews
Transient Review - A Lovecraftian Story Set In A Cyberpunk World That Doesn't Do Either One Justice
Transient creates great settings but doesn't utilize either one very well. Its story should have been its most substantial aspect but instead ends up being its weakest. Through its puzzles are solid, the game holds your hand when solving them, leaving almost zero need for critical thought. What ends up being the best part of the game are the mini-games that transport you to other titles that Transient took inspiration from.

85%Transient: Extended Edition Review (PS4)
Transient Extended Edition is a great concept, but the implementation is flawed on every level. The art style is stunning, but the graphical engine can’t keep the pace. The game world is truly different, but there is not too much to do in it. The puzzles are too simple and feel like a filler so you wouldn’t call the game just a walking simulator. Also, this new edition does not make the game more user friendly. Yes, some of the previous issues have been fixed, but there are plenty of new ones. Even with the new ending, Transient remains a mystery that will make you wonder what exactly happened – if you are curious or masochistic enough to brave through the countless crashes.
