I won't go into details because the game hasn't officially released yet.

I've been playing Spiderman for a few days now. Not a perfect game but absolutely fun! Playing as the hopelessly optimistic Peter Parker, the brightly colored city, and the pulse pounding music, you can't help but feel good when you play.

Then, there's Told Raider. Woo. That game is a mood killer! Graphically in my personal top ten for the gen. Controls spectacularly. Options on top of options to customize your experience. But damn, the game is so dark and depressing.

Comparing the two is like comparing a Marvel movie to a DC movie (when it comes to tone).

Weren't the two previous Tomb Raider games pretty much like that too? Especially the first one I remember being unbelievably dire. I remember you can find a diary from some dad out on vacation with his daughter and wife, and he's now a cannibal monster that you have to shoot or be killed by.

Oh, this one is darker. Way darker. How could that be, you ask? Just wait and see...

Remember when Tomb Raider was about going into Tombs, solving puzzles and killing T-Rexs with duel wielded pistols.

Just continued my second b sitting with Spider-Man last night. And let me tell you it's just addicting web swinging to locations. I like getting better at combat too. I think Tomb Raider games are just more serious in general. Hell compared to to Uncharted they are more serious. At least Nate and Sully take jabs each other. Not saying Tomb Raider games are bad. Just different mood for sure.

Well, isn't that hoe the game is supposed to be? This is the adventure that ends the Trinity storyline and brings Lara to her lowest moment only to raise from it transformed into the tomb raider we know?

They seem obsessed with making them depressing. Tomb raider 2013 the same. They really need to mix it up and not have them like that nearly always. Give us a few hours in the middle where everything seems positive like in uncharted. Mix things up

You need to turn on RTX!

Both previous titles had a lot of supernatural elements, though. They just don't figure in much to the combat or enemy appearances. But I mean, the first one had spirits preventing people from leaving an island and an old sun goddess possessing your friend, while the second one had eternal life as part of its plot and someone who actually had achieved it.

Why cant those of us that like it just have a wall to wall dark and depressing game? You guys already have sooo many more happy go lucky, bright, optimistic franchises. Those of that like really dark games without any moments of levity have very few options to choose from. Pretty much dark souls and bloodborne thats it.
