I don't mind that it's based on the Cyberverse cartoon rather than G1 or anything (even having not watched Cyberverse) as some people do. And there are some decent design choices here in terms of the range of character abilities and customisation. But it's all a bit moot given that the game is so utterly tedious.

The level design consists almost entirely of paired missions where you a) run to the opposite end of the map avoiding constantly spawning enemies and then b) kill all the enemies. But the Decepticons still constantly respawn in the latter type, even sometimes as you've killed the last enemy on the map, it just chucks in another. And in the "run away" missions, the game is constantly telling you "you can't kill them all, make your way to the goal" which is fine the first two times maybe, but by Act 3 it can maybe stop clogging up the screen with it and scolding me for actually trying to clear a damn path through the enemies.

It's just such a cheap way of making levels. There's no finesse or style or even really much in the way of true tactics. The only element of difficulty is just from how many new enemies it chucks at you and when that increases, it doesn't become more fun or rewarding, just more of a drag.

It's so dumb that this is the first Transformers game console release since Devastation. I'll admit, I kinda enjoy the gameplay, but nothing else about the game impressed me. First of all, it's connected to a show that I don't plan on watching. Second, the story is extremely weak and generic. Third, its way to short for the price its asking. I beat the campaign in 3 hours, which is just absurd. It was probably 3 hours because of how repetitive the gameplay got by the end. I played this on game pass, which the only way anyone should be playing this game. The only people this game will appeal to is fans of the show, but everyone else should avoid this unless you want some easy gamerscore.

Surprisingly difficult at times on hard difficulty.

There’s just so little content here though that honestly it’s barely worth it unless you pick it up super cheap in a sale and just want some time to kill.

Also no Hot Rod so bad game.
