On the whole a good game and good value for money but not as good as the last game (to me anyway).Release Dates and Platforms: Initial release Septemon Windows PC digital download (requires Steam account), PlayStation4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One, Xbox One X. One thing that really frustrated me was the tombs - I know they are meant to be challenging but dying about 2 dozen times getting into the tomb and then another dozen times dying trying to get out says to me that the tombs are too hard and destroy any sense of fulfilment in "conquering" them when they have in fact killed you many times. In the previous game, you were stuck on an island, but in this one it is like exploring a continent - Paititi alone is a massive area to explore - so you will get your money's worth of gameplay if you persevere with it. The skills offered to Lara aren't as wonderful in the previous instalment, and a bit disappointing. The story in this one doesn't engage me, and they make the villain, the head of an evil organisation who killed LC's Dad, too complex and sympathetic. I can't help but compare it to the previous instalment, which I loved. It gets a four for the story and character development. This gets a five for the stunning visual effects, animation and gameplay, which are all spot on.

this game feels like a monotonous continuation of the series rather than a game that expands the sense of awe and atmosphere and interest of the first 2 games. if you enjoyed the last game, than it might be for reasons that you wont find in this one. Im just not sure if this game was a bad and inferior experience for me or if that is the general feeling. i constantly found myself with unspent skill points because the skills felt neither necessary or interesting. the most interesting ones such as mud camouflage you gain through gameplay. the skills in this game are boring and unappealing. the skills section is the core of the game, it should drive the game and make it fun to play, it gives you an incentive to accrue skill points. this is one of my biggest annoyances about the game. also along with the pointless changes of the menus visual appearance there was a failure to expand and change the skills that can be obtained. this is a minor annoyance but i do not understand why they include tiny thumbnails that are too small to see if you have to click on them to see what they actually look like.

the outfit menu does not allow you to see the outfit unless you click in it to wear it. i enjoyed the previous menu that felt tactical and organised as opposed to the multicoloured mess found in this game. i enjoyed seeing the artefacts pop up on screen when i found them, now they do not and feel pointless. i will add that the changes made to the menu are to me atrocious. outside of combat you explore various towns and segments of jungle that are visually confusing and look so similar that it makes its large size more a tedious factor than a cause for celebration. Im not sure why but the jungle enviroments of this game just feel inferior to the ice and snow enviroments of the last, they are messy, confusing and sadly i find them slightly boring. you can cover yourself in mud for camouflage which sounds a lot more fun than it is because the enviroments are so much more linear. you run and jump and climb, but now you can also use a rope to lower yourself and swing which becomes pretty tedious. This game clones most of the character actions in the first game. what i loved about the last game was how lara would suddenly tense up and the danger could be either a pack of wolves or a group of people, this game doesnt have that same sense of random danger, it feels much more linear to its detriment. the snowy enviroments carried their own feeling and to me despite the maps in this game feeling larger they feel barren in comparison. What i loved about the second game was the atmospheric environments. especially the more expensive version which simply gives access to outfits from the old games without any of their benefits along with more powerful enhanced versions of your basic weapons which makes upgrading any of the other equipment a pointless activity, thus taking away from the fun found in the first game. So if your coming to this game from the last one id have to advice you not to buy.
