Legend_in_blue Posted 13 October 2016 Share Posted 13 October 2016 Arrived today. Reached the first campfire about an hour or so in. Great game so far, decent introduction, looking forward to seeing where this one goes. Hopefully the added extras will improve the overall experience. Having just finished the outstanding Uncharted 4, I'll try not to make too many comparisons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpe's Fox Posted 13 October 2016 Share Posted 13 October 2016 Played the first one of the reboots and like you refer to it's just an Uncharted clone but with boring collectibles and rubbish dialogue. Don't know whether the seconds any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty98 Posted 13 October 2016 Share Posted 13 October 2016 Not a fan of the newer tomb raider games, not sure whether it's because I'm older but the puzzles seem so easy and the games give away too many hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 13 October 2016 Share Posted 13 October 2016 Funnily enough I just started this yesterday on PC, it's pretty decent so far, But I agree that it isnt as good as the original Tomb Raider series. Puzzles in all these kind of games are always way to easy. I miss the thrill of beating St Francis' Folly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manwell Pablo Posted 14 October 2016 Share Posted 14 October 2016 I'd say it's different to the original tomb raiders than worse myself. What it lacks in taxing puzzles it makes up for in far far superior combat mechanics (and story, if your into that) the combat in the originals was bloody awful. Have bought but I am yet to start, tonight could well be the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or fight a dinosaur, OR do a swan dive onto a hard floor just to hear her scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 14 October 2016 Author Share Posted 14 October 2016 I am liking it so far. Although the stealth aspect is a little on the easy side in the first area. I possibly should have chosen a higher difficulty setting but it's early days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliall Posted 14 October 2016 Share Posted 14 October 2016 This is pretty good, getting quite into it. Apart from having to find the optional challenge tombs, the tomb should be the challenge, not finding the ****er. #stilllooking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was intending on doing one run on survivor, as apparently the games not exactly difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it'd pick up much more on survival. The shooting mechanics are just slower than Uncharted and the AI is not as quick. Of course this may change later on in the game but so far the wolves are far trickier to take out and move at pace. The game is very good but coming off the back of Uncharted 4 it lacks that little bit of extra realism and pace. It's slower all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 5 November 2016 Author Share Posted 5 November 2016 So how are people finding this? I'm just over halfway through having escaped the cathedral section. Really enjoying it atm. Combat is still too easy though and the wealth of options available (all those arrow types, too many ammo crates, cans lying around etc.) makes it even easier. Apart from that, it's good.

You're on Tomb Raider difficulty to be fair, seems to be one of those games that benefits from playing on one of the higher levels. Battlefield and FIFA have somewhat seen to my time with Tomb Raider for now unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
