Transformers: Devastation Critic Reviews

Platinum never ceases to amaze me, and thankfully Transformers: Devastation continues to prove why Platinum Games is the best action genre developer in the business today.

Otherwise, Transformers: Devastation is a pure form of fun and entertainment, and there are simply not enough games like this out there.

Transformers Devastation is a fantastic love letter to G1 Transformers fans, and a great game in its own right.

Transformers: Devastation is the game most Transformers fans have been waiting their entire lives for.

A peerless piece of fanservice wrapped around a pretty enjoyable brawler, and the developers' love of the subject matter shines through as brightly as the sun.

Platinum Games doesn't disappoint and delivers a wild action game that Transformers fans will love, even with the limitations.

Transformers Devastation is a loving homage to its '80s cartoon source material that features the slick and satisfying combat we've come to expect from PlatinumGames. Shame it's so bloody short, though.

A delirious Saturday-morning romp through the Decepticon forces.

Not the best game Platinum ever made but definitely the most true to the series a Transformers game has ever gotten. A relief after the Michael Bay crap of yesteryear.

The best Transformers game so far but, more importantly, a hugely entertaining and original action game that is one of the most uniquely entertaining releases of the year.

Devastation takes some of the best pieces of Bayonetta and throws them in a package you can feel unadulteratedly good about while also producing the best Transformers game yet.

No game yet has quite captured the look and feel of the only real Transformers experience quite like Devastation. The fact they added a brilliantly entertaining combat system and an engaging bit of looting on top is a very welcome surprise.

Transformers Devastation is a great example of how to take a licensed property and turn it into a quality title. While the game is a little on the short side, it's strong from start to finish.

Transformers Devastation is a blast to play while it lasts, and expertly blends elements of Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising, but packages it in a way that makes it come off as completely unique.

Transformers Devastation is exactly what can we expect from one Transformers game in the hands of Platinum Games. Frantic, fun and nostalgic.

How much you get from Transformers: Devastation will depend entirely on how fondly you remember the original cartoon. Non-fans will find an competent, if short, beat ’em up which is perhaps a little over priced, but die hard fans will be yelping, punching the air and reliving their childhoods by transforming in to a semi truck and chasing Ravage as he pounces across Cybertron.

Fast-paced and fun, Transformers Devastation captures the spirit of the TV series with its impressive, fluid combat and range of devastating Autobot moves. Shame the campaign is a bit on the short side.

It won't last long, but it's still a full Platinum Games experience, filled with fast paced and strategic combat sessions that you will deeply enjoy.

A real treat for fans of the first generation of Transformers, but also a pretty exciting hack and slash for every fan of this genre. Transformers: Devastation is the best thing that could happen to this iconic brand.

Ever since the days of the PlayStation 2, when a bunch of Transformers were placed in a washed-out open world, we've been waiting for a good Transformer title...Now, fans finally have one.
