While still limited by the inherent metallic nature of Cybertron, High Moon was able to find more ways to vary the environments this time around. This helps give the game’s 13 chapters a more unique feel with areas differing significantly in terms of openness and pace with cramped quarters requiring a more deliberate play style versus some of the aerial zones. The robots themselves retain their G1/film hybrid appearance, and both returning characters and new additions are easily recognizable. There are some occasional slowdowns in the frame rate, though it never becomes debilitating.

Although each of the face buttons serves a primary function, some change contextually based on where you’re positioned or which direction you’re pushing the left stick. For example, the “A” button jumps; but it’s also used to enter doorways, transition from one section of wall to another, drop from elevated points and more. With so many functions mapped to one button there are instances where you’ll do things such as jump off instead of climb to a surface. Still, while it’s frustrating during those moments, for the vast majority of time it comes together extremely well.
