TR is one of my all time favourite gaming IPs...well, until Reboot. That one is superb cover shooter, but has very little to do with actual TR. As for those new ones - first one already has remake in Anniversary, which is pretty good (I still prefer original), but if there's a demo I'll give them a go, though I'm not holding my breath, since one look at new Lara is giving me bad vibes about it.

But yeah, though I think TR needs another reboot to get it back on track, maybe those two games move the needle for Embracer. Personally, I'm not seeing it, everything around TR kinda sucks these days - I mean, Sophie Turner as Lara Croft, and Phoebe Waller-Bridgeas as writer and showrunner...yeah, sod off Amazon.

They took a lot of "inspiration" from Uncharted for the new games, that's for sure. But well, if you still don't have them, now you can get the remasters for free at the Epic Store.

When it comes to movies, I have to admit that I didn't like the ones with Jolie. They were the typical videogame adaptation that doesn't use the source material for anything. The one with Alicia Vikander was better (not that it's hard to do), but it's based on the rebooted games and it looks like it flopped. I don't see Sophie Turner in the role.

First one with Angelina was OK - not exactly what I wanted from TR movie, but she was fairly descent as Lara...who is, in her original version, a bit posh, sarcastically witty and confident, instead of whiny traumatized mess that she's in Reboot trilogy.
