Current Events > Shadow of Tomb Raider > the second one

(+) Yeah! (+)

First one is still the best but I'm surprised that despite semi negativity surrounding Shadow that it's better than the second one whose name I cannot remember

You're right about the first being the best one but you're wrong about the 3rd being better than the 2nd

The first one was the only one that made any sense with the way you play her because she's supposed to be surviving. The second and third one makes her look like a psycho.

Rise was great. Shadow was also great aside from locking Lara out of certain locations depending on her outfit. Was fixed in a patch months after release but who the fuck had the bright idea to lock her out of half the damn game unless she was wearing one of a handful of outfits, even the paid DLC ones.

Still going through Shadow.
Rise is on the same level as the lesser Uncharted games and better than TR2013.
The writing is pretty weak through all the games though, like they turned in and used the first draft.

The first one is legit one of the greatest games ever made.

The crafting ruined the next 2.

I'm playing Shadow currently, only just got to the town but I definitely like the tropical environment better than Siberia or wherever Rise was set.

First game was indeed great

Agreed.

Playing through the trilogy a few years ago I enjoyed the 1st one the most.

Rise is actually my favorite one as far as playing the game actually goes. The first one never gave me any reason to go anywhere twice really, the other 2 had secrets. Not always the best secrets but still.

It's definitely one of the reasons. Shadow really went all-in on it and suffered the most

My biggest gripe with the 3rd one is that it didn't feel like you were exploring exotic lost locations. They all seemed to be a quick day trip away from a nearby village.

Rise was better than Shadow in my opinion and Im a Tomb Raider nerd. Lara did have a better personality in Shadow and I enjoyed the puzzles and Tombs. I think Rise was better and had more content.

I hate the stigma against short linear games, not everything needs length padding busy work for the sake of HOURS BRO. I dont judge my $60-$70 purchase on game length, I judge it on quality of time spent.

The first one was a perfect Tomb Raider experience I could possibly want.

From what I've seen over the last couple years, people have been getting sick of open worlds. Me included

I agree with this but:

This is too simplified. Under a certain amount of time, I feel like it shouldn't be full priced.
