#TOMB RAIDER GAME SERIES UPGRADE#

However the above are only my suggestions in case of an unlikely reading of my review by someone from Crystal Dynamics that, however, does not detract a bit to the gorgeousness of the game, the game is already 99,99%, the above only could boost it at 100% and a sequel to 200% Despite the above this game is a helluva BLAST that's worth every penny, a 'back to those days' for TR fans and a good point to start from for those who are not.yet. 10) Indicators: I think that a lens could suffice to point out the presence of something, no need to show the button everytime, it slightly detract to immersion. 9) Enemies: sometimes it's like I'm facing the old chapters enemies, well the AI is not that bad but sometimes is not polished as it should be resulting in too few options at your enemies to choose from making the mass-murder them a bit too easy while sometimes they can spot you too realistically when you don't have any chance to spot them making impossible to sneak past or avoid or stealth kill someone that even knowing you are somewhere on the island shouldn't know you are 'right there'. 9) the story: it's really well crafted but could be balanced better, at an emotional level the story requires you to keep going while the gameplay requires you to explore, well, it is balanced but it could be more, from a gameplay perspective everything that's 'hurry on' is out of place in a TR game, also the acting is top notch but could have been polished aligning it with the above point of view. and having secondary bosses to fight experimenting on them the new acquired firepower while tasting the new discovered within herself passion for raiding tombs. 8) Secondary bosses: it could be nice to hear Lara commenting on her equipment and physically see the parts of it as well as seeing Lara assembling those parts. 7) Tombs, those are very well crafted but really feels too short for a true TR lover, I'm expecting to see more of them and more complex along with some well crafted underwater mess on the sequel. 6) The above also works for collectibles, I hate games in which you knows in advance what you will find in them, this applies even to this beautiful game, knowing in advance how many collectibles I have to find is one of the worst part of this title, an 'I feel like I'm still missing something in this area' would be a much more effective way to manage the whole thing, as well as get rid of percentage counters, as well as giving a more puzzle meaning to collectibles while being able to see them as you find them not in advance.

5) The upgrade system is well crafted and enough satisfying but hiding the upgrades in the menu could give that feeling of 'what now that is thrown away from the complete visible list. 4) When you have the right equipment there is too few backtracking that could be done in order to discover more, there are no reasons to explore again an already 100%ed sector except to gain some experience from enemies, a couple of 'ok now I have this, let see if I can access that spot' per sector could have been an HUGE booster for the overall experience. 3) the very well implemented RPG options could be implemented better, the first two survival skills for example, if I'm not missing something are pretty nearly useless throughout the game, adding more vicious animals to defend from and the need to feed yourself to keep health regenerating could have given a meaning to those. 2) Lara is responding in a perfect way, in the game you really feel you ARE Lara Croft and not just driving a mannequin, this boost that already spoken 'I want more' from the (outstanding) environment. I can reach that spot feeling, I hope that in a sequel this could be addressed cause the platforming is however rewarding as never but I feel that a bit more challenge could add to the experience.

Well, back to the review, this game is 100% well balanced, to point out few things I would improve: 1) the level design is 'nearly perfect', only I'm missing a little the 'how the F.

I was waiting for a game like this since. I'm an old TR fan to let it understand to the few people who can understand it around the world, there are not many ones who can say 'in Tomb Raider II I entered THAT door', well, I'm one of them.

I'm an old TR fan to let it understand to the few There is only one word that could approximate a definition for this game: 'Masterpiece'. There is only one word that could approximate a definition for this game: 'Masterpiece'.
