I’m just replaying the game to get 100% in all the areas. I find some of the challenges are hard to find everything. Easier though when I have access to the map and can follow when marked. Not everything is shown on the map though.

well I played the game again the other day, after 2 years I think and... it feels reaaaaaally outdated, limited and basic, but also very, very tight.

It asks you to perform actions all the time. Nothing too complicated, sure, but at least it wants/allows you to move in more ways than one for a specific purpose. And even when it doesn't, you can reach any location by jumping around, running on rooftops and stuff. The lack of magical bushes and all that bs makes the option of the stealth approach relatively riskier and more satisfying. Also, you want to collect scraps for the explosive arrows and the silencer, or save exp points for the scramble-jump :D
I still laugh like an idiot at every bird I shoot down, every deer I make FLY... :D
Everything is about right. Linearity done about right.
I still find those 2 long, easy climbing segments to be insufferable, but other than that 2013 has the kind of the moment-to-moment gameplay that make games fun. Not a Tomb Raider, but still a nice adventure.

and now I'm sad. great.

Maaan this reboot had so much potential. TR2013 was such an amazing game. I remember thinking about this reboot's future and now I'm like... that was it? Lmao. Imagine going back in time and spoiling rise and shadow years before their announcements

I certainly do love the concept when this game have aimed to put into a darker direction like how it all went with AOD right on the pre-production for this game. That's the concept I have expected for it to be like instead of changing the concept from this very special darker direction to something light as I really never expected for it to change that way. But other than that, I'm absolutely very indifferent for it to look into inspiration when I always play as Lara Croft when she was a 16 year old girl from TR4 & TR5. :cool:

exactly like the amount of directions they could've gone in after tr2013 and we ended up with rise and shadow lmao
which are fine gameplay wise but when it comes to telling an origin story! yikes!

We went from endless combat to gradually tombs, puzzles and exploration as the main focus again; it's the right direction for me.

If you're talking about the story, maybe yes, I feel like TR13's story was really good, better than the two sequels.

yeah i think he meant story-wise. the gameplay is quite good.

Not a big deal, but I thought I'd share it.
I was fooling around with a free camera mod, when I noticed that during the cutscene after defeating Mathias, the general's sword appears on the ground not far from Lara and Sam.

I know that Lara took it with her, but this is so random! You can see it in the cutscene itself too.
I was just wondering if it supposed to had any purpose, or it's a simple mistake. Did I miss something?

Since Sam was originally supposed to die, maybe she would've been killed by that sword and so its presence in that cutscene may be a leftover from the original ending (like Lara carrying Sam was originally Lara carrying Sam's dead body).
