Tomb Raider: Anniversary

The game honestly falls into mediocre categories from most aspects, even if the gameplay is flawless on most scenarios, but on late stages in the game there are serious bugs I have encountered and I needed outside help to outplay the bugs occured during the playthrough. The camera angle is horrible and only by memory you can tell where are the objects you have to use while you are flying around like in any Prince of Persia games. Using free aim look feature is strongly recommended at such times. It took me a while till I realized I even have a grapple hook that changed everything to me. (I mean almost everything) Sometimes auto hooking objects are not enough you either have to be airborne or straight up aim look at the given object before hooking it. Basically that does the trick every single time There are however pesky ways to use advance on puzzle solving areas where the game really tells you to rely on your own senses to solve them and I mean it really punish you at that, sometimes even more than it should. So the game is really a time investing journey before you can finally finish it till the last stage. The combat is getting tougher and tougher by each level as you get better, but you must cling to a slow motion headshot trick to one shot kill the monsters trying to tease you to death without a brief moment for you to get up and try to prevent slopes or cliffs that Lara will get up the wrong way anyway so you fall to your death eitherway. Luckily the game is not that sadistic toward you so it's forgivable. Later stages of the game requires you to improvise more than usual. I mean when you felt like you solved a puzzle situation entirely, you should always think about that it's not over, it was just part of your suffering. The game story-wise is decent, nothing more nothing less. Not gonna lie, I liked the quick-react events during the cutscenes. They often caught me off guard as well. Overall: it's a fairly consumable title and yet I still recommend it.

I started out my Lara Croft career with the 2013 Tomb Raider and wanted to see how it all began. So far the experience hasn't disappointed. It's a little difficult but overall fun. I love exploring Croft Manor.

As others have stated, the game crashes after introduction video, on a Win10 laptop.

This game is just fantastic. The atmosphere and immersion is just on another level. One of the best tomb raider games I have ever played. Buy it, you wont regret it.

Its a good gift to play, thanks GOG
