Visual style (0 more)

A pretty decent comic book romp in the same graphic style as Sin City. Unfortunately any similarities end there, despite a strong cast this fails to pack a punch. I didn't know anything about the comic book and you have to wait halfway through the film to get any idea of the characters background. I felt it could have been better. Maybe one more for fans of Frank Miller stories or comic books. Silly over the top fun action but nothing special.

4 separate factions each with its own mechanics. War vs Economic hybrid game. And, the art and components are top notch. (0 more)

Lots of micro rules (0 more)

Root, not my final rating/review.

This rating could possibly change later due to the fact I'm having a hard time getting it to the table. My gaming group is not interested except for 1. So I'm having to learn it solo to play with other member. Kind of a drag considering it was #1 indy game of 2018.

Hmmm … visually stunning (as was the original movie), following Sam Flynn - the son of Kevin Flynn, who has been missing for over a decade - who gets drawn into the world of Tron following a cryptic message from his dad's old arcade.

With Daft Punk providing the soundtrack and with the glaring neon colours throughout, as I said up top: this is definitely visually stunning (and it's good to see the Light Bikes/Disc Wars back), albeit saddled with a somewhat leaden plot and pacing issues.
