Tomb Raider: Anniversary

I've bought this game to play on laptop with win10 and found out that it crashes after introduction video. I tried 3 tutorials and couldn't run the game: launching in game in compatibility modes, adding to data execution prevention whitelist, downloaded several patches. Nothing works.

feel good as we do ^

OK. After trying out the Legend (and not being overly impressed) I hoped that maybe next installment polished out some flaws. Well... it didn't. Firstly, if you got used to controls in the previous game - you'll need some getting used to this one since the default bindings changed. A minor issue since you can redefine the keys but annoying nevertheless. The progagonist model is still an absurdly unrealistic overly elongated "fit" woman which is more a zitty teenager's wet dream than any realistic person. I can understand the appeal for younger male audience but for a grown-up it's just ridiculous. The controls are annoying, swimming is clunky, the camera has a life of its own and since your moves depend on the actual camera angle, it's very often than you misjudge the proper jump direction because the camera just flipped somewhere else in the last second. That's one of the most frustrating parts. I'm not very fond of the linearity of the main adventure but that's me. Others may be OK with it. The manor part seemed to be a more "exploratory" part of the game and at first was fun but quickly turned into a chore consisting mostly of running back and forth across the whole estate and trying to nail the jumps (see remarks above) in the gymnasium. And it seems to be much more bugged than the Legend. So overally - maybe it was worth the time if you had been a fan of the original game and got this back in 2008 as a remake of the original TR. As for the game from 2008 it didn't age that well graphics-wise compared to some other games released around that time. So it might be worth giving it a try even for the reason of being one of the few original "3d platformers" (I'm still to try out the "modern" Prince of Persia) but don't set your expectations too high.

shallow and jank ,,, very jank !

Even after consulting several hints on youtube i was unable to fight the dinosaur boss. Dodge working, but dodge aim shoot not. Dino never hits the target, not a single time. Frustration Level 10/10
