These are not Michael Bay's Transformers. Transformers: Devastation is not a modern take on Hasbro's changeling robot franchise. And it might just be the game I didn't even know I was looking for. Here is my report: This game looks awesome. Anything's possible.Īnd so it was with a bit of side eye and a willingness to be impressed that I walked into a conference room on the first day of E3 2015 to see Transformers: Devastation, the just-announced title from Platinum Games. The former is more abundant than the latter, but still. But there's also Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and the Batman Arkham series. Yes, there's a lot of crap floating through the lazy river ride of licensed games, sped through development to meet a deadline.
Licensed games aren’t supposed to be good, but I like to keep an open mind.
