Yay! My first play through! What a solid game. Very glad I finally played it. I liked how it felt old but aged really well. A lot of frustrating moments for sure (I only found out I was playing on easy once I finished when I thought I was playing on Normal) but overall I really liked the experience. Rough around the edges, but a classic for anyone who enjoys the series. Might even say I liked it more than the Remake of 3 but who’s keeping track? 😅

Felt like a Short Hike. I really like cozy open-world games like this that have actual human dialogue. So many triple A titles have dialogue that seems stilted and I feel like indie games have such a unique way to voicing the characters that sounds natural. Touching story, fun characters and creative vibe. Love this one. 😊

I feel very mixed with this one. On one hand, the character interactions and world are really cool. On the other hand, the gameplay is Grindy and gets frustrating near the end. This game left a sour taste in my mouth. The end credits song is also just annoying auto tune with poor lyrics. I liked the first game better.

Big thumbs up. Action adventure with fun shootouts. Story only really serves as a vessel to move the gameplay forward. About as good if not a little better than the first game in the reboot trilogy. Liked the music too, especially the tomb themes. Did I mention the optional tomb-raiding goes hard in this one?
This game came THIS close to making me cry. One of the best stories I’ve ever played. The graphics are pretty hit or miss but I think they’re pretty at moving the story forward. The game forces you to make a lot of really hard choices. I really like the second chapter in particular. So excited to play the second game!

I thought I should leave an in-depth review on a game that probably less than 1,000 people have played. This game is okay/bordering on bad. The game play itself is simple but engaging, and the game is more than meets the eye. Can get frustrating. Santaville level is needlessly hard and glitched. Completion aspects are garbage filler and are the only reason why this review isn’t higher. Check it out if it’s on sale as I think it’s at least worth some of your time.
