    Clever, rewarding and a lot of fun, I have always wanted to control a family up to the neck in crime and now I can. Peaky Blinders: Mastermind performs well, never overstays its welcome and makes you feel great when things go your way. The levels are well designed, compact, short and very sweet. If you're up for some tactical planning and light puzzle work then this is the game for you.

    Peaky Blinders: Mastermind has some clever mechanics that highlight the meticulous planning Tommy Shelby is capable of, all whilst providing an interesting story and plenty of variety in character actions.

    The whole thing's drenched in the moody atmosphere of the TV show, which in and of itself makes sure any fan of the series will feel right at home. The unique spin on tactical gameplay is also very much worth experiencing.

    Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a pleasant surprise. Whilst the license isn't used to its fullest potential, the gameplay delivers a satisfying, methodical puzzler with plenty of moving parts to consider. The levels have plenty of life to them and the more complex missions really allow the characters' unique roles to shine. For something that could've felt like a cheap cash-in, Futurlab has developed something compelling and fascinating to play through.

    Peaky Blinders: Mastermind offers one of the most essential puzzling experiences of 2020. The masterminding may come to an end far too soon, but when it does the the sublime gameplay mash-up you've just had will make you realise that Futurlab have forged an entirely new genre: rewind time strategy. Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is so good that it compelled me to go and watch the original TV show. Now, how many games based on a franchise can say that?

    A great way to reflect the spirit of the TV show: Peaky Blinders Mastermind is a fun tactical game that will make us repeat several times every single level in order to improve our best timing. Technically simple, it causes true immersion.

Didn't have much of a budget, so there is no spoken text, but the artwork is solid and the soundtrack is good. The puzzles are clever and it becomes increasingly complex as you progress through the game. Later on, those gold times really are a bit of a challenge, but the always remain doable. I'm glad I supported this studio by buying this game at full price (which was €20, so okayish in my book for roughly 8-10 hours of fun gameplay and an easy platinum trophy.… Full Review »
