Two games like two sides of a coin.
Too bad the two games are bundled. The graphics and lighting in TR IV game look fantastic for the time, the puzzles sometimes use new, creative and clever approaches and unlike the other games, the enemies seemed quite well balanced and I had less of a problem with the enemies using guns this time. Some of the level designs are probably the best the series has done so far. (Moving Train Level!) But the weak point lies mainly in the rest. The game sometimes tries to be far too complicated and clever with its puzzles, but overdoes it with the solution-finding, so that puzzles are actually made unnecessarily difficult. It doesn't offer a satisfying feeling when you solve the puzzle or look it up out of frustration, you feel cheated. So it feels more like work to play through the game. I remember having the game since release in 1999 and at some point I just stopped playing it, even though I could play the predecessors up and down. And after playing it again, I know why. But it still had strong moments. TR Chronocles on the other hand is a mess. You can see that the development team that worked on this game had no motivation or passion and Eidos wanted to bring the game to market as quickly as possible. You can often forgive flaws in games if the overall experience of the game is still somehow enjoyable. For example, I consider TR IV still as a good game, which despite the many frustrating elements was still a solid game where you can see that the developers have made an effort. But the buggy half-finished Chronicles destroyed my experience and my already fading enjoyment for the game, making it one of the games I would probably never touch again. And therefore I can't recommend it to anyone. Seriously, skip this game or try in in the Remastered Version. I didn't play it, but i assume they fixed many of the appearing bugs. Other thand that it had some neat ideas like stealth, but you quickly realize how little this potential is actually used.
Hilft dir das weiter?
