Tron: Catalyst Reviews
TRON: Catalyst is a visually faithful but ultimately underwhelming attempt to expand Disney’s digital universe. While the story and atmosphere capture the essence of the saga, the gameplay falls flat. Repetitive combat, a basic move set for Exo, uninspired level design, and minimal use of the iconic light cycles make the experience feel dull. Even the time-bending Glitch ability is underused, leaving the game appealing mainly to die-hard fans willing to overlook its flaws for a deeper dive into the Grid.

TRON: Catalyst brings the Arq Grid vividly to life with an engaging story, convincing characters, and standout voice acting, but despite these strengths, it feels underutilized—offering little beyond the main plot, fading combat depth, and a visually dark world, ultimately making it a game that fans can enjoy but that falls just short of realizing its full potential.

A vote of encouragement, rather than real substance. TRON: Catalyst isn't a terrible video game; it's playable and, above all, explorable, with a world that's much more interesting than the combat. We're a little curious about the third (?) instalment in this series, but we hope something more ambitious comes out of it. Perhaps we have too high hopes for this franchise?

TRON: Catalyst has finally arrived and has taken a different spin on what lovers of the franchise expect, combining immersive storytelling with adrenaline-fueled action.
TRON: Catalyst is a shorter experience from a AA developer well-versed with the TRON IP, and while the world is incredibly well represented, the thin combat system, 2D characters, and paint-by-numbers story won’t light a fire under any fans to get involved.
Exo’s adventure is well worth a playthrough, and fans can breathe easy knowing that this romp in the Arq Grid is an experience worthy of the TRON name. Jumping into this Grid is a perfectly acceptable entry, but you might want to go in with tempered expectations.
. It perfectly captures the essence of the TRON audiovisual experience, without overstaying its welcome, taking me just about 10 hours to finish. It has a satisfying, if rather formulaic, ARPG combat loop
TRON: Catalyst also makes up for mundane combat with an intricate narrative and a fascinating approach to storytelling.
