A side scroller TR game? You mean like not a Tomb Raider game at all?

In all honesty, if we're going to entertain the possibility of a small Tomb Raider video game product, why not just a small Tomb Raider game?

well...

that's not quite what i meant.


....................

I mean like.

Okay.

How do I begin to explain this.

Basically. Imagine an actual Tomb Raider game, like the classics.

But then, think of how they released a DLC for Tomb Raider Underworld. Or how they released a DLC for Rise of the Tomb Raider. This DLC is the same game, just a smaller portion of that game.

Why not make a small Tomb Raider game.

Considering this discussion has arisen as a plea for something more Tomb Raider, why not actually have Tomb Raider? Just small one.

I don't like the reboots at all because I have yet to see anything that looks or honors classic Lara. It feels like they are trying to turn Lara Croft into Katniss Everdean from the hunger games. I don't like it, the games themeselfs are fun to play, but they are not fun to play as a Tomb Raider game. My top list of Tomb Raider games

1. TR3

2. TR2

3. TR1/Anniversary

4. TR6

5. TR4

6. TR5

7. TR Legend

8. TR Underworld

9. TR 2013

10. Rise of TR

I have yet to play Rise, but since I know Lara won't have her twin pistols and it's a continuation of TR 2013 I most likely won't enjoy it as a Tomb Raider game, but might enjoy it as a regular game.

I can definitely see where you're coming from, and as a huge fan of the Classics I understand your frustration, but I have to slightly disagree on the fact that they're trying to turn her into a Hunger Games character clone. I'm undoubtedly one of those who thought that the past game (the 2013 reboot) was one of the biggest disgraces that could've happened to the franchise and after quite some disappointments from Crystal, I thought it may have been the moment to take some time away from Lara and her adventures. But I decided to stay, and thankfully I did right. Rise is by no means the best Tomb Raider game (and as an individual opinion, I'll easily find people who'd think it's not such a game at all, which is perfectly fine and reasonable), but I seriously encourage you to play it whenever the chance arrives to you.

The game may seem like a mere expansion of the reboot (fair perspective, to be honest), but in my opinion it introduced some core aspects that every Tomb Raider game should have. Maybe not for everybody, but the fun factor was definitely there many times, which was enhanced by the artefact-oriented story and the locations, that were more in the vein of typical locations you'd find in a game of this genre (forests, temples, catacombs, valleys, lost cities...). I finally found some light after years of darkness, and hopefully they'll improve all the ongoing flaws that are still present since Legend days!
