Tomb Raider: Legend

Hello I’m using a PS5 controller with a 165 HZ display? On Windows 10. The big problem is that the camera is too rigid, which complicates the task during jumping phases. The game, even taking my time to properly orient Lara and the camera, most of the time the game detects incorrectly where I want to jump. A simple example: a silver collectible in the gym at Croft’s Manor. I've tried this countless times. Lara doesn't land on the ledge, but on the bar below. This PC game is worth almost nothing in value and you can even get it for free, but frankly, there should have been a patch to fix this camera defect and jump too rigid to adapt the gameplay to more current equipment. With this camera, time trials aren't even an option.

In my opinion, this is the best entry in the 2006-2008 reboot trilogy. Although the plot is nothing outstanding, Lara has a fun, kickass personality that kept me entertained and really want to see more of. The puzzles are entertaining and occasionally had me stumped at first, just enough to make them satisfying to solve. Combat is rather shallow and requires little thought, but movement is fun and has a learning curve. I especially enjoyed that there were many special moves you can perform that have no real gameplay purpose and just look and feel cool. It's definitely not a perfect game; the motorbike sequences aren't challenging or interesting and go on for much, much too long, the shallow combat does become a little tedious eventually, and there was the odd missed jump that didn't feel like my fault. But it was a really fun ride that I am glad to have been on.

Pros: -platforming is fun -Lara has some cool athletic moves like handstands and different jumps, rolls, etc. -object physics and ragdolls help create a spectacle, especially during fights and bike chases -this game gets straight to business, no need to wait for 15 hours until the game gets good -Lara's cute british accent and banter -perfect length, game doesn't feel too dragged out (took me 7 hours) -Lara's cool and sexy costume designs Cons: -bossfights suck (they're frustrating and unenjoyable) -autoaim and camera can get janky sometimes -story is boring, as well as Lara's two sidekicks Zip and Allister Technical state: This being an old PC game, some tinkering may be needed. Reading an article on Pcgamingwiki helped me avoid potential crashes and graphical issues. Also it took me a while to figure out how to make the controller button prompts appear instead of the keyboard buttons during gameplay. But overall I'd say this port is in a good technical state. Conclusion: This is a solid game. It's full of spectacles and badass moments. I feel like people who've worked on this game just wanted to make something cool, and they've succeeded in doing that.

The game has some advantages, a few interesting puzzles, but graphically it's repulsive, and it's not a matter of old graphics, but rather the design of the appearance of some locations, most of it is quite monotonous, the same goes for the gameplay, and the bosses are repetitive only for TR desperados or fans of this type of gameplay, i.e. jumping and shooting alternately. The AI ​​doesn't have even a little intelligence, and the opponents are bullet sponges, the fight is boring and repetitive, as are the arcade elements, pluses are fairly interesting puzzles and the variety of locations, the plot is also not impressive, it's just there. Typical average.

While these 360 era outings are not held in such high regard as the og trilogy, I believe theyre actually better. Controller works well enough but annoyingly the prompts are all fir keyboard & mouse. A fine outing for Croft. played with no issues on ROG Ally z1 extreme.
