Tomb Raider (2013)

TR 2013 is actually a pretty solid reboot, but it’s got some massive issues. The gameplay is the best part. The combat feels smooth, the bow is satisfying, and the action is constant. It looks great and the set pieces are huge, making it a fun ride from start to finish. But the story is a mess. It has the worst ludonarrative dissonance I’ve ever seen. One second Lara is crying over a deer, and the next she’s a cold-blooded killing machine stacking bodies like she’s the Punisher. It makes no sense. Plus, the side characters are bland and there are way too many Quick-Time Events.

The game was a 9/10, this rating only because of the controls, i didn't like em'. Rest assured this is an absolute banger. "A SURVIVOR IS BORN"

This is probably the weakest of game of the trilogy. I love this game, but coming into it, you struggle with the foliage, constantly getting turned around, unable to find objectives. For some gamers like myself, using the hint system that turns the screen gray and highlights the objective for an extended period of time combined with said foliage can make you nauseous. That notwithstanding, the game is a fine experience. Combat is nothing new, but it's always a pleasure getting new weapons, perks, and abilities that help change how you approach an encounter. The story is fine, if you've played the other games or seen the movies, you know what to expect. Like I said, the main crux of the game comes down to what I've previously mentioned. Overall, a 6/10, definitely get it on sale along with the 2 other games
