High Moon covers all of their bases and more in establishing their Transformers cred, as it were, even while making minor changes here and there in the interest of gameplay and plausibility.
However, while the story occasionally stumbles, High Moon's love and attention to detail with regards to G1 Transformers remains vitally palpable throughout. It feels at times as though we're watching a show with episodes missing, and though there's a pre-level text crawl that does a decent job of filling in some of the details, it's still jarring cutting so quickly from triumph to despair and back again without in-game exposition. High Moon's storytelling is generally good, and feels well situated in the Transformers fiction - it's a good modernization of the original cartoon while remaining true to the characters and stories that fans have placed on a pedestal for decades - but there are points where the narrative jumps sloppily from one event to the next. Officially sanctioned as canon by Hasbro, War for Cybertron fills in some gaps in fans' understanding of Transformers lore, explaining things like Starscream's defection from the Autobots, Optimus's succession to the position of Prime, and more. More Transformers: War for Cybertron News & PreviewsSet millenia before the original cartoon series that fans have taken to calling G1, Transformers: War for Cybertron tells the story of the final days of the Autobot's and Decepticon's civil war on the surface of their homeworld, Cybertron. The end result is a shooter that has an identity all its own, and leverages its license to make something very cool for fans and newcomers alike. High Moon has taken a fun, fast, third person shooter foundation, crafted a well thought out transformation mechanic on top of it, and designed combat situations around that.
Which is why I was happy to report to those asking that Transformers: War for Cybertron is actually very good.
