Tron Catalyst, the top-down action game, places players in a virtual world filled with intrigue and conspiracy. The game's protagonist, Exo, a courier program, finds herself entangled in a plot surrounding a potential server reset. Created by Kevin Flynn, the world sets the stage for a political showdown between the authoritarian Core and the rebellious Automata. While the character designs are imaginative and distinct, the game's dialogue scenes, though decently voiced, lack consistency, reminiscent of Disney's animated shows rather than the intended noir atmosphere.
The plot of Tron Catalyst offers a mix of factional conflicts and central mysteries, keeping players engaged. The glitch mechanic, allowing players to reset chapters while retaining progress, adds an interesting twist. Combat in the game is responsive and visually appealing, but falls short in terms of depth and variety, feeling repetitive after a while. The skill tree lacks impactful choices, making combat encounters less strategic and engaging. Despite introducing new mechanics and a stealth system, combat can often be resolved with minimal effort, diminishing the need for tactical thinking.
Tron Catalyst features light cycles and jets for added excitement, but the music fails to deliver the immersive experience expected from the Tron universe. The game's restrained scope and length are commended for respecting players' time, offering a concise yet enjoyable experience. Overall, Tron Catalyst is a competent game that ticks the boxes without excelling in any particular aspect, earning it a solid seven out of 10 rating. While the game provides a decent gaming experience, it leaves players with a sense of wanting more depth and innovation, especially considering the potential of its unique rewind mechanic.
