Transformers: The Game hasn't really been created for gamers.It's mainstream entertainment, like chart music, Saturday night television and inoffensive rom-coms starring Lyndsey Lohan. And about as sophisticated and challenging as that sounds.
Please, Traveller's Tales, don't take this too personally. We know the version we played isn't finished - although it does come out on 20 July. But it's difficult to shrug off our misgivings and praise the gorgeous, sometimes exciting game that lurks within Transformers: The Game, when so much of it feels broken, below-par or just plain rushed.
Our fingers are crossed that the final game will be much improved. Honestly, we really want to be proved wrong here, folks.
Need some Transformers love? Why not head on over to our feature exploring the history of the robots in disguise?
Stellar Blade director jokes the action RPG "is the outcome of my creative dictatorship," but "everyone pretends to listen to what I say whilst creating what they want"
I wish Stellar Blade's New Game+ was added before my first playthrough, because it sounds like a whole new action RPG with 34 new outfits and a bigger skill tree
