History YMMV / Transistor

* EvilIsSexy: All four of the Camerata are rather attractive, some more so than the others.

* UnintentionallyUnwinnable: The Permanence limiter makes functions overload whenever you uninstall them. An insane player might try to use this to overload all of their functions, but functions start uninstalling normally again when you're down to your last four. There are only three functions in the game that are completely incapable of dealing damage in their base form... but with the [[NewGamePlus Recursion]] copies of those functions it is possible to make sure that your last four functions can't deal damage. Since the game uses a profile system for saves, leaving this state requires restoring a manual backup.

* FanNickname: There's plenty for the nameless man inside the Transistor: "Breach," "Blue," and "Nobody" among them.

* AnticlimaxBoss: While fitting into BestBossEver territory in concept, the fight against [[spoiler:Royce]] is also ridiculously simple with the right tools - being a 1v1 battle that lets you prepare in advance, it's all too easy to defeat the boss in battle of attrition by putting all your skill slots into heavy-hitting melee attacks and debuffing him with Void().

** Man, the final enemy type. Despite being the final one, it isn't terribly dangerous on its own, since its only attack is to spit out ActionBomb Haircuts. The Haircuts, however, can knock off all but a sliver of your health bar if they connect, and do a fair amount of damage if you're anywhere in the blast radius. Though a single hit will destroy them, they get faster the longer they manage to survive. If you don't have a quick counter-attack with some knockback, they can be deadly, and they're even worse if you have to fight them off when dealing with other, more immediate threats. It gets even worse if you don't have an attack that can be used during Turn() cooldown, because those four seconds are enough for them to catch you. The cloaking version of Man is especially bad, since you have to goad it into attacking.
