Tomb Raider GOTY

Pros: - Great graphics, love the sceneries especially - The controls feel responsive - Great action sequences - Quite a lot of collectibles to collect and tombs to explore - The AI can be quite smart at times. There was this one moment in a bunker where some of the enemies would go out of their way to flank me through the rooms that I've already explored, by going in a different pathway from their side that seemed to connect to those same rooms that wasn't initially made available to me until I've defeated them to finally discover that path Decent: - Story - Soundtracks Cons: - The puzzles are quite easy to solve, with only the harder ones being present nearing the end of the game. Even then, those harder puzzles are still solvable without having to look for a guide on the internet - If you love taking your time to explore and collect the different collectibles in the game, know that as you progress through the story, you'll sense a disconnect between the contents you've discovered simply through reading the notes left by the NPCs (some you've met, some not) and what Lara seems to know as she slowly grasps the whole situation throughout her journey. This only gets more apparent nearing, again, the end of the game. As a result, you'd just end up getting frustrated at Lara. It's like, "Lara, didn't you read the notes you've collected? You should've known about this already." Personally, I think it is just bad planning by the devs as they tried to incorporate notes-collecting as part of the game's many features with the pacing of its story - Stealth. Not sure whether I'm just bad at it, but I feel like the game doesn't provide much room for stealth gameplay to be viable. Often the enemies are just too close to one another in/on a small room or platform with not much cover for Lara to move undetected. As a result, most of the silent kills are the ones you take with your bow and arrows, as closing in for a melee kill is just not possible at times Overall, I like it :)

Great story, nice gameplay, very immersive. A classic.

Świetny restart Tomb Raidera - ma w sobie przygodę, akcję i dobrą fabułę, którą seria nigdy specjalnie się nie przejmowała. Może trup ściele się zbyt gęsto i wywołuje to lekki dysonans, ale gameplay'owo wyszło to znakomicie. Mając za sobą wszystkie wcześniejsze TR-y, dopiero przy tej części bawiłem się równie dobrze jak przed laty, kiedy ogrywałem pierwszą, klasyczną już, odsłonę. Na koniec - mimo, że Lara Croft to Brytyjka, warto dać szansę polskiej wersji ze świetną Karoliną Gorczycą w roli głównej. Tę mini-recenzję napisałem po kolejnym (chyba czwartym) przejściu całości. 9+/10

It's a captivating and well-developed game, but the controls are a bit annoying in some ways. The character doesn't have as much mobility as other games from the same era. Furthermore, the controls are somewhat slow, with a lack of responsiveness between the keyboard/controller and the game. Overall, it's a good game, but it has its drawbacks. They're not particularly worrisome, but they exist.
