• Sentiments

  • I find everything in the game to be exceedingly average, with nothing that excites me or stands out as particularly engaging.
  • The set pieces, such as running from explosions or sliding down slopes, become repetitive and boring after a few instances, even on hard difficulty.
  • The shooting sections are too easy, and the upgrades feel pointless because I can already headshot enemies without them.
  • Exploring the game world is uninteresting because every location looks very similar, and finding items only rewards XP, which doesn't enhance my enjoyment.
  • The tombs, which are optional, are disappointing as they only provide XP and contain puzzles that are too easy, making them the weakest part of the game.
  • The story is uninteresting, with one-note characters and basic motivations that lack depth, making it hard to stay engaged.
  • The gameplay loop feels repetitive, with most of the game revolving around finding a way out, something going wrong, and then fixing it, which gets old quickly.
  • While there isn't anything terrible about the game, it is exceedingly average and doesn't stand out compared to other games with better stories or mechanics.
  • The game doesn't offer anything particularly exciting or memorable, making it feel like a missed opportunity to stand out in the genre.
  • There are many other games available that are more interesting both story-wise and mechanically, making this game less worth my time.

  • I feel disappointed because the game pretends to be a survival game but fails to deliver on that premise, as the only survival strategy is to kill others before they kill you.
  • I find it frustrating that hunting animals only provides experience points instead of food or health regeneration, which feels unrealistic and poorly designed.
  • I am annoyed that many chests and tombs only contain experience points or scraps, which feels unrewarding and lacks meaningful progression.
  • I think the inclusion of fake artifacts, like those from China, is unnecessary and detracts from the game's immersion.
  • I find the weapon upgrade system confusing and poorly explained, as it requires purchasing upgrades from a bonfire, which feels illogical.
  • I feel frustrated with Lara's clumsy movements and the terrible aiming mechanics, which make combat feel unpolished and frustrating.
  • I am disappointed that terrain elements intended for interaction stand out too much, breaking immersion and making the game feel unnatural.
  • I think the inclusion of Lara's special instincts is unnecessary and patronizing, as it assumes players cannot notice obvious environmental cues.
  • I feel the plot is the only redeeming aspect of the game, though even it has moments where it falters and feels weak.
  • Overall, I find the game to be a huge disappointment, as it fails to meet expectations in almost every aspect except for the plot.

  • I feel disappointed that a beloved platforming franchise with puzzles, amazing OST, and esoteric archeologic locales was rebooted into a cover-based third-person shooter.
  • I am frustrated that the reboot shifted the game's genre from a platformer to a shooter, which feels like a drastic and unwelcome change.
  • I find it disappointing that the new game focuses on killing slavs on an island, which feels like a poor thematic choice.
  • I am unhappy with the protagonist being portrayed as a whining, incompetent, spoiled, and useless girl, which detracts from the experience.
  • I miss the original franchise's cool platforming mechanics, which were a key part of its charm.
  • I feel nostalgic for the amazing OST and bosses from the original franchise, which added depth and excitement to the gameplay.
  • I appreciate the esoteric archeologic locales from the original franchise, which made the game feel unique and immersive.
  • I am neutral about the idea of rebooting a franchise, as it can sometimes lead to innovative changes, though not in this case.

  • I find the camera angles in this game to be some of the worst in the history of video gaming, which makes me hate the game rather than just feel bored by its linear narrative.
  • The linear narrative of the game feels boring to me, which adds to my dislike of the overall experience.
  • I would recommend this game to players who enjoy cinematic camera angles, even though such angles would typically drive most players crazy during gameplay.
  • If you are into action-narrative games, you might find this game worth playing despite its flaws.
  • I am frustrated by the decision to have the camera shake whenever the protagonist trembles from cold or when the ground shakes, as it feels excessive and distracting.
  • The camera shaking effect in this game is so intense that it feels more exaggerated than real-life earthquakes I have experienced.

  • I feel that this is a very bad Tomb Raider game, lacking the qualities that make the series unique.
  • I think the game is just another generic third-person shooter with RPG elements, which feels uninspired.
  • I believe the game is a cash grab, designed primarily as a platform for selling DLCs rather than offering a complete experience.
  • I find the overuse of Quick Time Events (QTEs) to be frustrating and excessive, detracting from the gameplay.
  • I dislike the inclusion of health regeneration, as it makes the game feel less challenging and immersive.
  • I feel the difficulty level is insultingly easy, which diminishes the sense of accomplishment.
  • I think the game relies too heavily on scripted events, making it feel less dynamic and engaging.
  • I find the multiplayer mode to be poorly implemented, seemingly added only to extract more money from players.
