Once again, the makers of the game had to stay true to the source material but when we were treated to such visual marvels back on the PS3 in Fall of Cybertron, its kind of disappointing for so little potential of the PS4 to be utilized here. The game reflects this and you work your way through environments such as identical looking towns, deserts and even Cybertron itself – none of which look particularly impressive. The cartoon had very simple 3D animation with smooth bots with minimal details and the environments they inhabited were even more so.

The graphics are very faithful to the cartoon, which is both good and bad. So lets take a look at the different facets of this game. Older players who are looking for an in-depth turn-based game with hundreds of options are going to be disappointed, but the game is a good entry point for your younger player who doesn’t want to get too burdened with choice. The controls are simple and easy to pick up and the gameplay follows a very simplistic style. The game is based on the recent Cyberverse cartoon which itself was aimed at younger fans. Right from the outset you can tell this is a Transformers game aimed at younger players.

Whilst previous Transformer console games have been primarily 3 rd person shooters such as War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron, or hack & slash like Devastation, Transformers Battlegrounds is a strategy turn-based game where you (as a hovering human) control a group of bots below to work your way through levels until you have the obligatory ‘boss battle’ at the end. Transformers Battlegrounds is the first Gaming Console game released by the Transformers brand since Devastation several years ago and takes a much different tack to its predecessors.
