Is it more like the old Tomb Raider or is it more like an uncharted clone? I ask because I'm genuinely interested.


didnt play the old tomb raider games to compare them to them but compared to uncharted, and surprisingly the similarties are little. first of all, this game lets you upgrade your weapons, you can go hunting or go inside old "tombs" to find treasures that would give you XP that would upgrade your weapons and skills with. other than upgrading weapons this game has a darker theme to it, it isnt a movie-like action packed game, while it does have some set pieces that are really similiar to uncharted, it tries to focus more on survival and that fact that you want to get out of the island. also its semi open world, meaning you can fast travel to anyplace u were on the island to explore and go back to find tombs and stuff like that.

its a great game, i prefer uncharted more because i prefer action packed games more. but i really enjoyed tomb raider and its a great game. my advice, is to play it.

That actually sounds really awesome! I'm a big fan of survival and exploring-focused games. I'll wait for a steam sale.


the game is awesome. though just a heads up, it isnt fully open world. its more like the batman games where u can go back to the levels you were at. the tombs are fun to explore where u have to solve puzzles and stuff but from what i experienced the explorations isnt the best in video games. just out some gameplay see if you like it. but i personally recommend it

I want this eventually, but is it worth waiting for GOTY edition now?

Don't hold your breath for a GOTY edition as Square doesn't really do that, but I can be wrong.

It is much closer to Uncharted than to Tomb Raider, though. Sure, you technically do have tombs in the game, but each tomb only consists of one room with one small puzzle (~10 minutes per tomb). Absolutely not comparable to previous Tomb Raider games. However, you still get to see beautiful temples (albeit without any hard puzzles) and have a pretty big world to explore.

Gameplay: Uncharted
Story: Tomb Raider

I'm fine with this, since both parts turned out fantastic^^

That's a shame - I'm a man who loves me some puzzles



     
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.

I don't think they ever did for Just Cause 2 and it don't look like they've released any proper DLC for it yet. Just character costumes

I liked the atmosphere, the semi open nature to the enviorments, the bow is fun to use and the game is gorgeous. I had fun while playing it but there are alot of things that didnt work.

Boring and unlikable characters that i never cared about at all, the weapon upgrades felt unnecessary, extreme amounts of handholding, Lara's transformation is laughable, journals everywhere to fill out the bland story.

I thought is was a good game but thats it

I loved it as well, if they can just throw in some larger, more complex tombs in the next game it'll probably be a 10/10

I like it a lot too but too bad this game doesn't have any replay value at all once you complete it...

New Tomb Raider is very good 9/10 game.
