While I haven’t played many games made by PlatinumGames, and I probably
won’t, one game I was instantly attracted to was their take on Transformers
in the form of Transformers: Devastation, thanks in part to the developers’
usual gameplay style and their attempts to capture the feeling of the 1984 The
Transformers cartoon as close as possible. While I did play this game when
it came out and liked it, I never gave the game a proper review since I was losing
my enthusiasm for writing reviews at the time. After deciding to go back and do
the game better justice, it’s still one of the better Transformers games
out there and it manages to create a world with some interesting potential that
will sadly never get properly fleshed out.
