![]() ![]() Going back to the game controls, the steering is less than optimal and I felt the need to change the controller configuration early on to move the “melee” control to a more basic button than the default position, which is awkwardly assigned.īesides an occasional buffer during gameplay, the twitchy sound is the weirdest and most unexpected flaw as the action inches down to a muffled whisper from its overloaded norm when characters are speaking. While the basic “bash and dash” simplicity of these levels won’t make you eager to replay this game over and over, it is worth noting that each level will require a fair commitment of time, so at least you won’t feel like you put down $60 for something that you will finish in two hours. The weapons are pretty similar as well, but you can upgrade throughout to up the oomph of your attacks, at least. It took me awhile to get through some of the combat heavy levels, not necessarily because of the games difficulty, but because of the lackluster aiming system that moved too slowly to keep up with attacking rivals. The gameplay is closer to boring than not as we switch from Decepticons and Autobots throughout, trudging along and shooting at a rotating group of villains that only offer a challenge when they are grouped together and accompanied by irritating drones. Unfortunately, the game’s flaws aren’t only skin deep. The character designs are, by contrast, solid and a little bit more distinct, but I still expected more. Rise of the Dark Spark is very unimpressive from a visual standpoint and not at all what you would expect from a PlayStation 4 game. ![]() Damage, like a stray bullet, fades away in an instant. On Earth, grass seems like a green slab and trees crumble when struck by Grimlock, as he stomps across streets that have little texture past buildings with next to no character. Primarily based on Cybertron with bookended missions on Earth, the game’s environments stand out as one of its most profound flaws.Ĭybertron, with some exceptions, is dull and homogeneous, with many missions taking place in large grey and purple halls with little variation. Rise of the Dark Spark centers on the fight between the Autobots and the Decepticons to control the “Dark Spark,” a relic that will allow its possessor to control the universe and mess around with time.
