Given predecessor Tron: Identity felt like more of a prologue than a full-fledged game (albeit a fun one), Tron: Catalyst has a lot of storytelling to do and a lot of informational gaps to fill in. Sadly, its success at this is somewhat limited.
It’s great to see how the distinctive artstyle from the animated Tron: Uprising series, and Tron: Identity has evolved into the elevated version used throughout Tron: Catalyst. Clearer colors and hand-drawn sprites make everything easier to see in a very stylish way, and the voice acting for story segments is a nice touch too. Admittedly, the issue of everything being grey and blue and struggling to tell who anyone is is kind of a hangup from the original movie so it’s great to see how Tron: Catalyst successfully handles it, especially when there can be a lot of characters in play at once.
