Funny thing, it seems the best soundtracks were of the "worst" games, that is TRAOD and TRU. And both my favourite.
AoD isn't a bad game. It was unfinished, lots of internal issues. The prodigy knows. And you are correct, it had one of the best soundtracks. AoD is a classic, an unfinished classic that should not be forgotten.

The main theme and itīs different variations are great, everything else were just random tracks that were created to fit the moments.

As a game - it is. The controls ruin the whole experience that even then in case of level complexity is at least generic. Don't get me wrong - I love nearly every aspect of the game like music, design, plot, but all those gems were completely destroyed by an overall bad experience. TRAOD could have been a great game, yet it isn't.

If you want to continue the discussion you can pm me.

The worst in the series, which is saddening because TR has always had amazing music. As others mentioned it's dull and forgettable.

Some tracks were memorable.
Like when Lara fights against the storm guard in that chasm.
The moment Lara picks up the duals and the scene on the ship when they are leaving the island.

I agree it is predominantly ambient. But I'm torn. While it does match the mood/emotion, it's still way forgetable and ambience doesn't have to be. I just think the forgetableness outweighs every everything good.

TRU's soundtrack is amazing



So how can people even give this game 10/10 without even a mention of thhe soundtrack? People don't think it's important? Honestly the soundtrack bottlenecks this game at 8.5/10 max right off the bat for me.
