I am 36 and bought this game for my kids, but actually I enjoy it myself. It gives more fun than most AAA games, and you can buy it for peanuts when it's on sale. The gameplay feels like the good old days when completing a game meant a challenge and satisfaction. The arcade combat, based on combos (different combinations of keys), can be really difficult at times, giving you a rewarding feeling when you manage to win a fight. There's good character development, allowing you to spend collected coins to improve your skills and buy useful items. The story is nice with a good sense of humor.
I first downloaded the demo on Steam, and my first impression after playing the game for about 15 minutes was: I finally found the hidden gem I was looking for – peaceful, beautiful music, a nice and unique (even though very simple) story, and the refreshing feeling of something different after being overwhelmed by repetitive AAA games. All this made me decide that I must get the full game. So, I bought the full version here on sale. But after a couple of hours of playing, I regret wasting money on this game. The gameplay is extremely linear. The world is full of invisible walls, with no exploration and no open world. Combat on hard mode is quite easy and not satisfying. When you realize that for the price of this game you can get so many better games, it is hard to rate it more than two stars. Recommended only for those who have too much money and have already played all the good games.
I definitely do not recommend. It does not have the atmosphere of the first Tomb Raider games neither the graphics and gameplay of the new trilogy. I can't see a good reason to buy this game. Not worth of your money and time.
Game of my childchood. It is hard to find that level of amazing atmosphere in other games. One of the best strategy games ever made.
