| Chrkeller said: I hated TR. I could not control Lara Croft at all. I didn't get into TR until the reboot which was amazing. |
Reboot is Tomb Raider in name only, the gameplay loop is fundamentally different from previous TR games. Some hardcore fans of Core's TR consider even Crystal dynamics games (Legend, Anniversary and Underworld) to be subpar TR games, due to how easy traversal became. I'm not one of them, though I do find that controls in CD's TR games, while more modern, make the game not as fulfilling at times as Core's.
Fun fact, once upon a time, in Gametrailers peek as video reviews outlet, before YT era, they hired a bunch of interns. One of the obligatory tasks for them was playing original Tomb Raider, so that they get to know first-hand gaming history. I really doubt any outlet does that kind of educational training anymore.
