In terms of gameplay Tomb Raider seems... fine. But the camera is extremely shaky, pretty much all the time. Whether you're running, jumping, or in a cut scene, the camera is always wobbling. Its' bad enough that I wasn't able to play the game because it kept hurting my eyes.
Wrath of the Righteous is a mixed bag. On the one hand, its representation of the Pathfinder ruleset is pretty rock-solid, and the combat system works beautifully. When the game is good, it's really, really good. Unfortunately, the developers seem to have been determined to undermine that fun wherever they could. Being in charge of an army, for example, is a neat idea, but it's terribly boring in practice. You can automate it (essentially succeeding at that layer of the game automatically), but doing so locks you out of being able to acquire treasures that you might need for your party. Then there's a battle that shows up in the second chapter, a massive slog that took 29 rounds and over an hour of play time. It's one of the most miserable experiences I've ever had playing a CPRG. Never mind the bugs. Those are likely to be patched out in the near future. When WotR wants to be fun, it is - but there are just too many places where it feels like it wants you to suffer for that fun.
Agarest War 2 is not a good game. When I say that, I'm not referring to cut content or any of the skeeziness. I mean that, as a game, it is not good, and it's for one huge reason: the battle system. Simply put, it's a mess. The first hour or so introduces tutorials for all its complexities, and none of them are helpful. In fact, many of them are given well before you can even make use of them. Two hours into the game, I realized that while I was winning fights, I didn't understand half of what was going on. That lack of comprehension meant that I'd never be able to form a cogent battle strategy for harder fights, which in turn ruined my ability to enjoy the game. There's also a huge trap during the character creation segment: I was given the option to make my character a magic specialist, but the game never saw fit to give me actual magic, instead forcing me to rely on his worthless physical attacks. Don't endorse terrible game design. Don't buy this.
