Early Access Review
TRON RUN/r is a fantastic runner game, it's a great concept which twists the typical runner with a "weapon" type loadout to help you achieve the max amount of points out of each level.

WARNING: The game is VERY new and has LITTLE content. If you want a much more content rich game, wait a few months, or at least wait till the light cycle update is released.

Otherwise as of right now this game has a LOT of potential and whoever is backing this game is doing a fantastic job. I cannot wait for the light cycles to be added into this!

In progress rating: 8.5/10
Pros:
+Graphics - Oh my god the graphics look absolutely stunning
+Customization - Love the new twist into this
+Level Design is absolutely amazing - still trying to get a perfect score.

Cons:
-Not a lot of content
-Possible Story? (Didn't subtract points just a suggestion)
-Don't exactly like how if you get hit by anything once your Companion gets insta-killed and you have to rebuy it. Maybe it's for the realism of the game. Not sure.

Flynn Lives even when others don't believe.

My review of The Wolf Among Us[NO SPOILERS(promise)]: This game has got to be one of the most thought out plots in the history of games. I have to say I haven't played all of The walking dead yet, mostly because I'm still on Season 1: Episode 4 and I did buy Season 2, but that's another story. This game has so many different outcomes, it's sort of ridiculous at how the developers thought of this.

Story/Plot: For those of you who don't know what "The Wolf Among Us" is, it's the prequal to the comics "Fables" by Bill Willingham, which is under the DC comics. It's a story about how Fables like "The Big Bad Wolf", "Snow White", "Bluebeard", and any other fable you really can think of all in one story. They escaped their own land from an invading force to go to a small town in New York. Anyways, the plot of the game was so devastating that I never in any point of my life would have though that this game was capable of putting so much destruction in my comprehension of Gaming stories. So without going into the story, I will let you figure out what I'm talking about. You should definitely at least try the demo out.

Gameplay: This overall is more watching a movie than a game. It's kind of like those "Choose Your Own Adventure" kind of stories which is absolutely fine with me. It's about 60/40% Story to gameplay which again is fine with me. I like a good movie that I can actually interact with and choose how I'd like the movie to end(even though my mind literally didn't exist after the game ended due to being blown).

Graphics: Don't play this game expecting it to be "The best graphical game I have ever set my eyes on" because you will be ultimately disappointed. This game isn't about the graphics like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Titanfall is. The graphics are more like Borderlands graphics. Cartoonish and colorful, more like animation. However, they do a fantastic job making it look like the stories you read as a kid, with all the colors and details they put into it. Again, don't go head first into the graphics part because I can tell you right now TellTale could care less about graphics, and I for one am 100% with them on that. Not only because I have a terrible setup for a PC but because I don't spend my money on games that look real life(excluding a couple of games), and that's it.

Music/Audio: The music in this literally blew me away with how amazingly directed and composed. The intro makes you think you are in the late 80s or early 90s whichever you prefer. It made me think I am actually playing a game that was mainly based off of Drive(the movie with Ryan Gosling). The audio/voices behind everything was also really awesome. I liked how they directed the scenes to fit the music, and vice-versa. I even had to rip the entire soundtrack off of youtube, because stupid Spotify was mindless and didn't have it. Thanks.

Video/Movie: As I said in the beginning the video/movies in this game was absolutely phenomenal. I still cannot believe such a small studio/company pulled off this giant leap of a game. They literally took a comic book that I've never even heard of and turned it into the greatest game I've played in a LONG time(I've played a LOT of games that blew me away like the Batman: Arkham series). The direction they took you was stunning, and perfect. No point in the entire game did I think "Wow, this is the most boring story I had to sit through" or "This is at such a stand still, nothing is going on" They always had something going on, and they always kept you thinking as you went through. If you didn't have your head in the game, at some points you would actually probably fail at what you were doing.

Overall: I have played through this game twice because I wanted to see what differences did it make if you were the "Good Cop" or the "Bad Cop" and yep, it made a significant difference between the two. I will be pre-ordering season 2, which I hear is supposed to release at either the end of the year or beginning of the next. Which I am perfectly fine with.

Rating: 9.5 out of 10, for a small detail I left out on purpose that contains spoilers and will not elaborate on it. I cannot wait for Season 2 to come out. But also thanks Christopher for showing me something new, and not to overlook little companies, because in the end I'll always be wrong about that.
