So in my earlier review I had said I didn't like the save crystals, and upon replaying it on PS1 with the save crystals, I take it back: love them actually. The fact they are single use forces you to consider how far you can progress without saving and when you absolutely need to use one to overcome a challenge. In a game based around careful and thoughtful gameplay they fit perfectly in a way save-scumming just doesn't. Such a good game.

yeah 2 was feeling like a lot of bullshit and uninteresting design for little reason beyond "you can save anywhere so we're free to do whatever we want without consequence". nice to know 3 picks things back up though
how do you feel about the rest of the games overall? would be cool to see a ranked list or something since you're pretty well-read on the series and where its strengths lay

i'm a big dumb dumb and just realized you DO have a list nvm
@chandler: i need to revise that list a little. Anniversary isnt THAT bad and 1 and 3 are better than 4.
also be warned, 3's first 4 levels are some of the hardest in tomb raider history. some of the nastiest traps they have ever devised. it's like a mandatory Scrub Filter you have to complete before the game lets you continue lol.
