I love both old and clunky games with all my heart - I can count on one hand the games I've been physically unable to enjoy because of their controls, and sadly this is one of them. I adore a lot of what the classic Tomb Raider titles do, but despite trying so, so many times over the past 18 years, I simply can't play them. My brain is incapable of adjusting to the movement and platforming; despite classic Resident Evil and its ilk feeling almost second nature to me at this point, Tomb Raider eludes me. I cannot have fun with it. Progressing past the second level feels torturous.

I'll probably give it another shot next year.
