Wasnt expecting it to score higher than the previous ones in the series, so not exactly surpriseing if it ends up in the low 80's.

I'm currently playing Spiderman and Dragon Quest Xi on PS4 in the next time, because both are dream-games! No time for the new Tomb Raider, sry. And in October, Red Dead Redemption 2 will be released, yeah! Its the paradise, but i need more time :)

Thats why.. Sayonara (maybe next year) @tomb raider. edit; the reviews are interesting, Uncharted 4 (93% worldwide) has been rated much better in all important categories.

It's were i expected, worse reviews always seem to happen when a series gets a new developer. Still looking forward to playing it myself.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

That will easily add 10 points later on!!!

8/10 is not a bad score, not at all, however, I was a huge fan of Tomb Raider back in the 90's (even when they became repetitive...), and I miss the sense of exploration that these new TR games lack, so, just as the last one, I will probably skip this new TR entry.

Interesting that the publications that score xbox titles over ps4 rate them higher. Anyway 77 seems pretty average.. Not hyped for this. Lost interest in the series when they went timed exclusive on xbox.
