What an absolutely magnificent video. I'm floored by how engrossed I was in your narration and analysis of this game! Thank you, the Tomb Raider community is better for having this.

Thanks for creating this thread. I would've missed that gem otherwise.
People have already said most of the sentences I wanted to so I won't duplicate their posts but there's still something I need to add. Some of my thoughts that I posted somewhere some time ago and might make a nice summary: Quote:
This one was about TR3 but could be applied here too, I think: Quote:
Maybe something obvious and silly but still a good example: take your time to have at least a first aid kit with you when preparing for a potentially dangerous situation like... going for a long bicycle ride. You never know what bad stuff might happen but if there's an accident, you'll have some way to make the situation better and the confidence that you have the tool to make it better. You did have a sense of fear when playing without healing kits after all, right? |

Your video reignited my interest in the series! After watching your video, I found myself installing all the classics and started playing them again after many years. I am having a blast!
And you definitely nailed the video from an unique yet extremely fitting perspective. TR1 is a 3D platformer, yet it was probably the most horror game out of the entire series. Replaying TR1 I noticed so many little details (e.g. wicked wolf face in Vilcabamba, Incan mummy bundles in Cave) throughout the game that just "stare" at you from across the screen and are totally creepy. They are silent, atmospheric and play on your imagination that make excellent horror elements. No other game feel quite "entombed" as TR1. |
