Эту залупу не пройти без гайдов. Отвратительное управление и платформинг. Кат-сцены и диалоги недописаны, скомканы в сумасбродную кашу. Нечеловеческое говно. Игру просто не доделали и выпустили как есть. Но проходимо, только непонятно зачем.
This is one of the very rare examples I can name of a game with an excellent storyline and trash gameplay. In fact, I found the story so immersive that I suffered through this game until the end.
Oof, Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness... it had SO much potential! The story is actually kinda cool, taking Lara to dark, gritty corners of Paris, and it aimed to add more RPG elements. But man, the game was a buggy mess when it launched. Awkward controls, frustrating glitches, and it felt unfinished in a lot of places. It's a shame, because underneath it all, there was the seed of a good game.
The controls are indeed very annoying, so finishing it can be a bit challenging, but I still think it's a good game. I love the soundtrack, the dark urban fantasy/gothic aesthetics - just the vibes of the game in general. It's the darkest tomb raider game and some parts of it are actually creepy. I LOVE Lara's personality in this game, she's very cool and badass but still a likeable character because she's not cold and emotionless, just a serious girl with no time for games. I love her sharp tounge above it all, lmao. I also love her fashion, like her outfits? she's serving the entire game (especially her denim jeans outfit, love that one so much, literally peak fashion!!). The story is also interesting and it has a lot of potential to be even better, but unfortunately, when you play this game it's impossible to not notice the amount of things they've cut in the final version. I truly believe it would be one of the best games I've ever played if they had the opportunity to include all the ideas they had, all the lore, game mechanics, phases, etc. Let's hope it gets a remake one day and we can see all of that. Even with all the downsides, I'd still recommend this game. You'll probably need to download a mod to make it more playable since the gameplay actually sucks, but if you can ignore that, it's a fun time.
The song made for this game is a banger but OH MY GOD this is fucking awful in every way

EDIT.
Alright so I watched the game on youtube. The gameplay still looks absolutely atrocious. But everything else?? Really damn good honestly! Really cool story direction that is unlike anything we've seen from tomb raider, but still feels like a welcome entry. The tone is amazing, the music, dialogue, characters and cutscenes are great. This incarnation of Lara is my new favourite!
If this game got a resident evil style remake I genuinely think it could be one of the best tomb raider games, although that would never happen :/
I recommend any tomb raider fan at least watches the game, in fact it's probably the best way to experience this unfortunate missed opportunity. You really are not missing out on anything by skipping on playing it yourself. Doing yourself a favour actually.

Original Review:
yeah fuck this
I love how it looks graphically, the ambience has struck me alot already with how little I've experienced. But I just know this ain't gonna be a fun time and I don't have it in me. Maybe a youtube playthrough will be the move.
Suppose I didn't do myself any favours by playing this directly after Legend.
