Transformers: Energon Rally is one of those simple-but-addicting racers where you pick your favorite bot—Bumblebee if you're nostalgic, Drift if you're into samurai aesthetics, or Lockdown if you want to feel like the villain for once. The controls are straightforward: swipe or tap to dodge barriers, duck under low-hanging wreckage, and grab those glowing blue Energon cubes for extra points.

First run, you'll probably crash into something dumb like a parked truck because the timing feels tighter than it looks. But by the third try, you're sliding under barriers with this weirdly satisfying "shink" sound effect, barely missing obstacles. The real hook? Trying to beat your own high score while unlocking different paint jobs for your bot. I swear, the metallic purple Bumblebee skin took me way too many attempts to get.

It's the kind of game you play for five minutes and suddenly realize you've been at it for half an hour.
