Brick Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 When I heard there was a new Tron game coming I was excited, but then I heard it was a visual novel puzzle game, and my excitement dissipated. Might still be good and enjoyable, but not exactly what was hoping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 It's out! Game Information Game Title: Tron: Identity Platforms: PC (Apr 11, 2023) Nintendo Switch (Apr 11, 2023) Review Aggregator: OpenCritic - 79 average - 89% recommended Critic Reviews CGMagazine - Jordan Biordi - 8.5 / 10 Quote TRON: Identity is a short, sweet, and incredibly engaging interactive novel that perfectly captures the essence of the franchise. Checkpoint Gaming - Charlie Kelly - 8 / 10 Quote Tron: Legacy is a great and fitting return for the sci-fi franchise, providing a gripping neo-noir story that bubbles away on a single moody, rainy night. Foundations of the exciting, futuristic world explored years prior are now realised even further thanks to the highly detailed writing talent at Bithell Games, making you feel like you're there amongst the chaos. Though at times missing some of the typical visual novel conveniences and containing crunchy 3D models, the world laid bare - the world of Tron - is exciting once more. Striking character profiles, eloquent writing and effective puzzles all help in reminding us of the fact that Tron as a franchise is special and a little weird but most importantly here to stay. Remember that. Destructoid - Zoey Handley - 8 / 10 Quote Impressive efforts with a few noticeable problems holding them back. Won't astound everyone, but is worth your time and cash. FingerGuns - Sean Davies - 9 / 10 Quote Some of its endings might leave you feeling a little derezzed, but the branching narrative journey you take to get there makes Tron: Identity an experience worth having. Thought provoking writing and incredible music are coupled with an enjoyable card game in a tale that tackles new frontiers in the world of Tron which will be essential for those the 'fight for the user'. God is a Geek - Chris White - 8 / 10 Quote Tron: Identity is a smart take on the visual novel genre, and does something different with the source material it is based on. Nintendo Life - Trent Cannon - 8 / 10 Quote Tron: Identity won't wow anyone with its puzzles, but it does a great job of telling a tight story that changes with each playthrough. The short playtime encourages you to explore the world a bit more and uncover new truths that you missed because of your previous actions. If this is the start of a series of Tron visual novels, which the plot certainly feels like, then we're hopeful we get to continue our journey with Query very soon. Press Start - Brodie Gibbons - 6.5 / 10 Quote Mike Bithell's writing, as it often is, remains on point as his team establishes new colours within an already riveting sci-fi world, not by replicating what came before-as appropriate as that may have been thematically-but by taking the franchise in a bold direction. It's a shame this thrilling plot against the archives is derezzed, and perhaps doomed to obsoletion, by a string of confoundingly dull puzzles. Shacknews - Donovan Erskine - 8 / 10 Quote Tron: Identity weaves an interesting detective story that expands the franchise mythos. While those invested in the lore will enjoy diving deeper into this universe, newcomers would have benefitted from a bit more exposition. Despite that, Tron: Identity’s branching story, puzzles, and visuals make it quite an enjoyable visual novel. Stevivor - Steve Wright - 8 / 10 Quote There’s a lot of fun to be had within Identity, from a delightful narrative, engaging characters and brain-teasing puzzles. It’s a small, yet refined package that’s sure to delight those into mysteries. Quite obviously, a bit of knowledge about the Tron universe will help players — and certainly add to understanding of lore — but isn’t necessarily required.
