Has Tomb Raider been wasted?

I do have to say that Tomb Raider has changed....A LOT!

As a kid I played TR4: The Last Revelation and it was a struggle even finding where the heck to jump to or even go. Maybe it was harder because I was young, but you definitely had to explore your environments and use your items to progress. Now it's just like other action games such as Uncharted/Last of Us where everything almost feels like auto pilot. I don't know what to feel about this.

This one might be the one you're hoping for. There is risk in the platforming and some legit puzzles. Just turn off the beacon that tells you where to go when you click R3. You'll be right at home.

 

I liked TLR too. Don't know why but it was better to me than TR3 and Chronicles. But don't get me wrong. This game isn't nearly as tough. And I did wind up in some combat killing about ten guys after a few hours of play. Not sure if the game is going to have more exploration of more combat but starting off it has a very good balance.
