Immerse yourself in the latest science fiction video game, a captivating reimagining of a cult classic film that debuted 42 years ago.
Ah, the long-awaited sequel to the beloved sci-fi classic, Tron, is finally here! Love it or not, the famed visual design of the original has stood the test of time, with Tron: Legacy touching on a few updates in 2010 (don't mind its flaws).
Since then, we haven't seen a full-blown sequel, but Tron: Identity, a visual novel and puzzle game, entertained us a couple of years back with some thought-provoking storyline. Now, the team is back with Catalyst. This time around, they've added a dash of active gameplay to keep things fresh.
Personally, I've been playing it on the sleek new Switch 2. The console's new LCD display handles the blacks-and-neon visuals of the game like a pro, even if an OLED might provide a slightly better, more vivid experience.
As for the gameplay, you'll be maneuvering around big city blocks to chat up characters, then taking on tasks and missions for them. These missions usually involve combat, a simplified dodge-and-parry system that's not as polished as Hades, but still worth checking out.
The story so far revolves around the ruling class in the Grid battling against more freeform ideas. Whether or not you get lost in its sci-fi themes might vary, but if you're a Tron fan, there's plenty to keep you engaged.
Plus, it's priced affordably, so it's an excellent choice for budget-conscious gamers. It's also available on multiple platforms, so whether you're feeling like a new game or trying to liven up your week, Catalyst is worth considering.
