Tomb Raider GOTY

This game is awesome and I was impressed when I played for the first time. Very good animation, stunning visual scenes, very good sound effects. But it's better to play in headphones for the best immersion. Big respects to the guy who placed ropes in hard reaching places for Lara. I don't know how he get there.

This game is great. From beginning to the end you will be challenged and have fun. Great orgin story to this reboot. The only reason that I dont give this 5 stars is because Rise of the Tomb Raider is so much better. However, this was a great start for the series. Do yourself a favor and buy it. You wont regret it.

This is just another pointless third person perspective shooter that forces you to play the way developers want you to play. It is nothing like original Tomb Raider games. Examples: - you have granades but you need to use old bell to open wooden gate - fight with Vladimir - the game does not allow you to shoot him in the head, you can only shoot him in the balls and that does nothing to him, you still have to wrestle him, just imagine battered, starving, weak girl wrestles buffed russian sailor and wins - really in what alternative univers?! - solari tank - a guy wearing steel plates on his hands can take entire magazine from assault rifle in the head or multiple grandes and it does nothing to him but you kill him with ice axe - fighting Mathias - lara can use assault rifle, combat shotgun or handgun to kill main villain but she chose to use and bow and arrow in 100 km/h winds and fails miserably I wont even mention multiple opportunities you have to kill main villain but the game just cuts to cinematics and Lara does something totally retarded resulting in blowing her chance to kill Mathias.

Pros Simple mechanics. Simple puzzles. Secret rooms. Cons Repetitive. Story. Dificulty. Note: The game punishes you a lot if you rise the dificulty, its like the classic, you have less hp then the others, this game show how Lara became Lara, she is not a badass but somone who is in a bad situation.

I was so happy to replay it. Nowadays the gameplay feels a bit archaic, but the atmosphere is still good.
