I haven't played this game in almost 3 years but hey what the fuck. Backstory time. As a kid I was not allowed to play games with combat in them and I didn't have any money so all my games were hand-me-downs and I was playing dos games and pre-wasd Windows games. In 2016 I got an Xbox 360 and jumped from Goblet of Fire being the newest game I'd played up to that point (and I hated that and it was borrowed from the library so it doesn't even count) to playing modern games like Halo 4, Orange Box, and Tomb Raider (2013).
All that is to say that Tomb Raider was one of the first shooters I've played and it's difficulty was perfect for noob me. This game challenged me and taught me how to play third-person shooters. It's not dumbed down or anything, it's just set at a difficulty level that's lower than most games and thus the perfect level of challenge if you've only ever played 0-2 shooters before it. But that's not the main thing I love about the game. What I love is the graphics, the voice acting, the story, the atmosphere, the exploration, even the campy porn death screams. I love it all. This game is so fucking good and remains my GOTY for 2013. GTA V can go suck a dick (though that's quite good and whatever would be GOTY it would probably take second place)
