The fact that this game exists in any way is a cosmic miracle. A Tron visual novel exists. One handled by a writer that clearly loves and understands the subject matter, no-less. One that continues and even expands upon many of the ideas introduced in the films that were never expounded upon. One that promises to keep the story going with further episodes that will further expand upon this world that we've been so deprived of in over 10 years. One that makes use of it's limited budget to maintain a striking presentation that matches up to the great atmosphere of Tron Legacy. All of this, of course, comes at a cost. Unfortunately, the game's short episodic length means that most of its decisions won't carry much weight unless a continuation expands upon them in some way. Similarly, it can't fully explore a theme rather than simply introduce it, so we will be relying on future episodes to decide if the Tron: Identity series is the continuation of the series we've been waiting for all along.

Let's face it though, it will probably be better than Tron: Ares at least.
