Last year i copped the Tomb Raider reboot but I didn't jump into it right away because of uncharted and some other games buf when i did :wow:. I loved how CD used the functions of the ps4 controller to add immersion into the game whether from shooting a gun or using a torch. The little things like that really help. The story was good imo many people like to say they went the uncharted route and they did but it was great Laura actually feels like she was born to do this while at times Drake seems to luck into situations the first TR did seem a tad easy but it's still a great introduction game. Currently im on rise of the tomb raider from the moment I saw gameplay I knew it was a instant cop. So far im loving the survival aspect of the game Laura feels more grounded. Hopefully there is a part three and if there is Co op and Multiplayer need to be a focus imo. What do you guys think need to be added

TR now is too arcadey to me :manny:

The OG versions use to be hard af and you could get lost because the game wouldn't tell you where to go and you had an limited amount of resources.

T-Rex attacks out of nowhere :damn:

Spike pits and boulders chasing you down :damn:

Traps in tombs :whew:

I remember falling in a pit of water that raised to the top of the ceiling that was laced with spikes :wow:

Gunplay, writing, combat depth usefulness. I say usefulness because ROTR had a lot of options which made it look deep and fun but in reality the game was easy as shyt and you could pretty much cruise on with handguns and arrows.

A third one is coming but supposedly its not being developed by Crystal Dynamics but instead by the team who make the Deus Ex games. I think its supposed to have more horror elements to it.

For me personally, I think they could improve the story in the next game and also some change of scenery. The last sections of both games are damn near identical.

More emphasis on puzzle solving with less handholding.
Go back to the traditional style of platforming and throw the Uncharted style auto platforming in the bushes.
More locations to travel.
Stop having lara talk to herself every 2 minutes.
I have no real problem with the gunplay of the recent games so keep that at least.
