PROS
-It’s still Tomb Raider.
While not as good as Tomb Raider (2013), the meat and potatoes of the new Tomb Raider games/Uncharted games is still there, and I eat that kind of gameplay up, so if you liked the game before it, then it’s worth picking up on deep discount.
CONS
-Too much running around and pressing X.
Crates, treasures, ammo, fallen enemies, and dead animals litter the levels and you have to scavenge them constantly, this really brings the action to a screeching halt. They really should just give Lara more ammo to carry and have one or two big ammo boxes per area, the treasures are fun to look for, so those can stay too, but get rid of everything else.
-Too much crafting.
The game thinks it’s Minecraft or something, on top of always having to pick up items, you now have to craft certain items to use them, this even happens during combat….and it isn’t one of those “fun tense” moments when it happens, but rather a “fuck really….you’re really making me do this” kind of moments.
-Lara’s face.
I didn’t have any big issue with Lara’s more human face in Tomb Raider (2013), I mean she can’t look like a PlayStation 1 cartoon forever, but they seemed to have nerfed her face a bit in this game. If you look at screenshots from Tomb Raider (2013), Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider, she takes a slight whack with the ugly stick in each game.
-The Story (MILD SPOILERS).
Same as the game before it, Lara has daddy issues………and something with some weird woods folk you run into, there is another girl like Lara but she has red hair something?
QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS
-Mods.
Before you begin your playthrough, install the Angelina Jolie mod.
