    While Peaky Blinders: Mastermind has some style and a novel approach to puzzling, it's not enough to properly engage. It definitely clicks at times, and there are moments where solving a problem makes you feel like a meticulous planner. However, there aren’t the eureka moments you’d expect from better puzzles nor mechanics worth mastering in replays. It’s hard to recommend and it’s only for a niche of Peaky Blinders fans who want an average puzzler with a lot of dull micromanaging (if they even exist).

    Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is yet another proof of a famous licence put to no good. The game lacks it’s atmosphere from TV series and presents only boring logical gameplay with poorly executed controls. [Issue#307]

    10/10 for gameplay and fun, unfortunately really short. I earned all achievements in 14 hours, main story finished in about 5hr or so.

    Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is quite an unique game on its own, I've enjoyed playing it from start to finish, but it ended so quickly andPeaky Blinders: Mastermind is quite an unique game on its own, I've enjoyed playing it from start to finish, but it ended so quickly and abruptly.

    Pros:
    - Graphics look great
    - Well modelled characters
    - Squad actions have to be managed by using time
    - Some of the maps are well designed and challenging

    Neutral:
    - The comical cutscenes are not my cup of tea but they are not bad.

    Cons:
    - No voice in dialogues
    - Absolutely no replayability value
    - Really short (Approx 2-4 hours)

    7/10. It's absolutely not a bad game, but it is really short, so I can only recommend it on a sale.
