Absolutely stellar pacing, and it still looks fantastic today. If only Rise and Shadow didn't decide to throw in AAA bullshit, or at least more than 2013 did.

I'm a classic Tomb Raider fan. TR2 is easily the best game in the series and one of the best games of all time in my opinion. It just did 3D platforming perfectly.

As far as the rebooted trilogy goes, I believe Rise of the Tomb Raider is the superior title. I feel like it had a good balance of human enemies and animal enemies which is hallmark of the beloved PS1 games.

TR2013 is the most AAA of the trilogy. It has the most action. It has the worst puzzles. It has multiplayer.

What's wrong with the other 2?

I refinished the first game a month ago and wanted to beat them all.

I didnt like the crafting focus in Rise and Shadow, slowed the game way down.

Tomb Raider 2013 is literally my version of a perfect video game. No fat on it, just pure meat.

It doesn't dive headfirst into a completely unnecessary and convoluted resource and crafting system, vapid checklists masquerading as sidequests, (as many) things to collect for the sake of collecting things, and it doesn't have the damn towns. God, I hate the towns. It's a much more focused experience than either of the latter two, and I can appreciate it for that.

Yea I really enjoyed it as well, way more memorable than the later games in the trilogy.

I loved it, unfortunately the next two regressed a bit with each release. It's rare that a game gets me laser focused that I just want to spend my free time playing it until it's beat, this was one of those games though.

It's still good, just nowhere near TR2013.

I played that game last year for the first time. It was a really fun experience. Using the bow was so satisfying.

Rise was more of the same with hardly any reference to the last one and a completely forgettable plot, and Shadow was just a borefest.

Totally agree TC, I loved TR 2013 and got 100%
But the sequels I couldn't get into, was weird.

Ha, I like all those things in Rise.

They all suck in Shadow though. The only good parts of that game are DLC tombs.

TR2013 was super good, one of my favorite games from that year in retrospect. I even got all the achievements and tried out multiplayer, wasn't bad either.

I thought Rise was one of the most generic games ever and still haven't gotten around to Shadow yet.

The two follow-ups made great strides (usually not in story though...) but the first reboot is the complete package for me in terms of enjoyment.

The PS1 games arent good imo. Lara controls like a supermarket trolly with bricks in it and the camera actively fights against you.

Rise was my personal favorite. Going through the Croft mansion was great and the coop was super fun. Baba Yaga DLC was awesome.

I liked it, although I felt it could do without some of the padding. Like for instance the game is structured as a linear action-adventure game including what should be points of no return, but for some reason you can fast travel back to any place you've been to pick up collectibles. Why are there even collectibles? It makes no sense

Maybe so but it had the one thing the sequels lacked: pacing

It's a separate survival mode where you have to worry about staying warm and eating. Super fun with a friend. You can also solo it. Unfortunately mired by MTX for cards that you can equip that affect your starting loadout and skills.

They're about the same size as a friend of mine and I'd definitely describe them as big.
