Collider.com have shared an article with their impressions on the new Transformers: Battlegrounds Video Game.
Published and developed by Outright Games and Coatsink respectively, the game will be available on October 23rd, 2020 for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, PC (Steam), and Nintendo Switch. Collider was lucky to try the game and they gave us a nice review of the first Transformers console game in five years.
I had a chance to play a hands-on demo of Transformers: Battlegrounds thanks to Outright Games showing off their upcoming titles —- What I found was a younger-skewing game that befits the demographic for the series itself but still offered a lot of fun and a challenge as well, especially for those of you who may be new to the real-time strategy (RTS) or tactical sub-genres of games. It’s honestly a great introduction for young players to this type of game so they can build their RTS skills, logic paths, and tactical foresight alongside familiar, colorful characters.

I mean for a budget licensed game based on an existing cartoon, it’s fine. It’s a notable step down from what preceded it, but for a franchise known for having some really shitty games, it’s still fine on its own right

I was actually looking into depth in this last night, as I discovered it by surprise in the midst of writing a game review for it on my website. A brief search for it will show you the new trophies, which basically explain what it's about:
Shattered Spacebridge achievements in Transformers: Battlegrounds
You've got a new randomized campaign. Basically it seems like you choose your squad at the beginning, and through a randomized collection of stages you have to find a spacebridge piece in each mission until you've got them all. Your characters don't normally regain health in between missions, but the campaign itself is shorter. Because the campaign is randomized, each playthrough is different, but the story is non-existent beyond "We're in another dimension, collect a spacebridge piece in each level and then assemble them and go home.". There are new maps, it says.
Otherwise it seems like about 90% of if it is re-using existing assets, just randomizing said assets and making the campaign more of a "sprint" without healing between missions to make for a slightly new play experience.
I wouldn't say it's lazy so much as the budget for it is VERY limited. The game definitely suffers from its very low budget, what with few enemy types and models, but the core mechanics are interesting and sound.

Well i just sw t trailer but i didnt see any new thing.
New missions on the same map as the main game.
No new characters, no "playing as decepticons mode"
They could have at least put hotrod. Lasy game (and I have it)

Looks like it's just more missions, with the story based around the spacebridge.

In other news, anyone noticed any Transformers Easter eggs in the recently released Cyberpunk game?
Bakuformer00
Eh, it looks ok but the game seems very average given that it\'s based on Cyberverse.
Arkimus Prime
What's up with the Furai Prime?

It doesn’t need to be as I prefer short games. I’m actually playing Ghosts now and reaching 100hours it feels like. This looks dope. Has a TF Devastation look while being a shooter? How did I not know about this?
just a transformers fan
the charging icon means the autobots are charging their iphones

Yeah dood.
It's not Ghost of Tsushima or anything but I had fun with it!
