My phone buzzes—somehow knows I’m about to get sidetracked—“My user calls. May I pass?” Kind of like asking permission, but more like a command, right? Anyway, Flynn Lives! Or maybe not? Guess we’re all waiting till October to find out. Oh, and by the way, Big Fan and Bithell Games dropped a TRON game—and what’s more retro-futuristic than TRON: Catalyst now dancing on the Switch stage. A little late to the party but hey, better late than… nah, let’s not finish that.
This game, it’s set post-TRON: Legacy, 2010 vibes all over it. It’s like that mix of time-looping chaos and battles happening while wrapped in a storyline that drips with digital decay—is that a thing? Anyway, back to what I was saying—the world’s falling apart and bright, shiny trailers are supposed to make it look pretty.
Okay, as for who you’ll become: Exo, this cool courier. Suddenly, boom, package explosion and tada—superpowers not listed in the Courier Handbook (not that one exists, just guessing). Exo’s loop in this world gets a jolt. She’s like looped into this mess with Grid’s peacekeepers on her tail, like she ignited some kind of weird cat-and-mouse saga—no idea who decided that was a career path.
So what’s in the game bag? Well, time-looping like it’s a glitchy deja vu. Mess up, rewind, keep the sweat down since mistakes are just practice runs. And those battles—you’re parrying and doing these Disc Kicks against meanies or racing on Light Cycles. Oh yeah, let’s not forget the upgrades. Shards—data, not ice—unlocking skills to keep Exo nimble.
Meanwhile, a fresh storyline weaves its charm in. This glitch—uninvited, of course—shakes the Grid. And then there’s Conn, no friend of ours. Just keep running; breaking loops is harder than it sounds, trust me, or don’t, your call.
Wandering those rain-slicked, neon streets? Sure, within a computer. I know, doesn’t rain and electronics sound risky, but whatever. An electronic soundtrack pulses and lifts the whole scene into this crunchy retro vibe—definitely plug in your good headphones for this one.
Catch TRON: Catalyst now on Nintendo eShop—30 bucks if you’re curious. Want the nitty-gritty? Head to bigfangames.com. And yep, I think that wraps it… or did I miss something? Maybe I’ll just loop back.
