Just like I loved all games by Monolith, I ended up really loving Tron 2.0. That’s a hard bar to live up to, but this sounds like a very different type of game, so I guess there won’t really be many comparisons.

Same - man I miss the old Monolith games. Hope this is even half as good as Tron 2.0!

The Tron universe is a blank slate, I’m interested to see what they can do with it.

I played this last week, and unfortunately, did not care for it. I went in knowing it would be short, having no deep love for the Tron universe but having enjoyed the two movies, and liking all of Bithell’s previous games.

It was just too short, featured solitaire minigames I didn’t enjoy, and contained characters and a world that I couldn’t identify with. I don’t want to equate playtime with value, but $15 is a lot to ask for two hours of visual novel that wasn’t engaging.
