TRON RUN/r is my first foray into any sort of temple runner style game. What drew me in was the fact that it's TRON. I'm a big fan of the asthetic and lore of the TRON universe, including both movies and the far too short-lived television series. I picked up the Ultimate Edition, so I suspect there are still modes coming my way via the Season Pass.

The game itself is all level based, which can be played over and over again to accumulate a higher score, as well as collecting 'bits' which are used to purchase one time use upgrades such as weapons and companion programs (think your classic Disney animal companion or in D&D terms - a PC's familiar). Both weapons and companions assist in racking up that score, or keeping you alive long enough to reach the end.

I've only scratched the surface in the Runner and Cycle modes. I lasted all but 30 seconds in the Stream mode, but I suspect I need more practice. This game is easy to pick up, but definitely hard to master. It'll humble you for sure and brings back some much needed challenge if you're up for it.

There are three main issues I want to see fixed by the devs at some point that I've found so far:
- I actually can't claim this one as multiple people in the Discussions forum have brought it up: the Recognizers in the menu screens are not solid! If the rest of the environment were wireframe, I'd have no issue, but even in the original TRON film, they were solid. Tired of seeing the yellow wireframe. I know this isn't a graphics issue as others have stated it and I even saw a Twitch stream with the same result.

- The opening title screen needs a way for it to be skipped! We shouldn't have to wait until the TRON RUN/r title starts to animate in to begin button mashing Start or A.

- In the screen where you select your upgrades, there seems to be no discernable way to quit the game. You must exit out to the main menu or mode selection. Seems to be an oversight.

Will update as the game progresses.

PRO's/
- TRON!
- Easy to learn
- Awesome soundtrack
- Disc throwing!
- Lightcycles!
- Sweet skin customization

CON's/
- Game development dead. Dev team refuses to discuss.
- Missing art for the Recognizers in the menus
- Needs a skippable title screen
- Lack of Game exit in the upgrades screen
- Lightcycle controls could feel a bit tighter

8/10 - Will keep rebooting
