🚨 **TRON: Catalyst Review (PS5) – Losing The Edge Of Tomorrow 🚨**
Alright, let’s dive into this one. I’m your average gamer who loves exploring different genres and keeping my mind sharp with some good ol’ fashion strategy and puzzle-solving. TRON: Catalyst has been sitting on my radar for a while now, and I figured it was time to give it a proper shot.
So, what do we have here? 🎮 It’s the PS5 version of Bithell Games’ follow-up to their iconic *TRON: Identity*. If you’re familiar with the original, you know it’s all about mind-bending gameplay and neon-lit worlds. But does *Catalyst* deliver the goods?
Well, let me tell you, the looping mechanics are a bit of a letdown. The idea of resetting yourself mid-level is cool, but after an hour, I was starting to wonder if there’s anything more to it than just a gimmick. Speaking of which, the visual style holds up pretty well. Neon-lit metropolises and all that neon goodness make for some eye-catching environments. But man, do they feel too similar to other isometric games out there? A bit too derivative, maybe?
Combat-wise, I’m not sure if it’s polished enough. The controls are a bit clunky at times, and the combos don’t always flow smoothly. It almost feels like it’s trying too hard to fit into certain tropes without quite landing. Sure, you can hack your way through enemies with that nifty tool, but is it worth all those button presses? 🤷♂️
Now, talking about the story… I was expecting a direct sequel, but instead got this glitchy adventure. It’s charming in its own way, but mostly it just feels predictable and unfocused. There’s not much depth to the world-building or character development. Just a bunch of placeholders and a couple of quips thrown in for good measure. 😅
And let’s not forget about the soundtrack. Dan Le Sac does a decent job with the ambient sounds, but nothing really jumps out at me as memorable. It’s atmospheric enough, but doesn’t add any real substance to the experience.
So, all in all? It’s not bad. There are definitely some fun elements here that keep you coming back for more. But it’s also not something you can just blast through in an hour. If you’re a TRON fan or new to this genre, maybe there’s something here worth checking out. But if you’re expecting a polished, AAA-grade experience? I’m sorry, but nope. 🙁
You know what they say about first impressions… Well, mine are mixed. It’s definitely worth a play-through if you’re curious, but don’t expect it to be anything beyond an okay adventure. 😊
