I thought Jungle was a pretty nice opening level, minus the death slide at the beginning of the level. I like how the jungle was filled with ruins and traps everywhere. The level was a pretty fair challenge with no hard enemies or ruthless traps. I think Temple Ruins makes a great second level. If it was the first level, it would've felt too little similar to Great Wall.

• Caves of Kaliya didn’t need traps.
This whole level needs an overhaul TBH. The entire maze is a cheap challenge with no logic behind it. You just wander around aimlessly until you find the hole to drop down before you fight Tony. The level should've been similar to Temple of Puna with a mini trap gaunlet or something along those lines.

• The grenade launcher is one of the most useless weapons in the game, right after the harpoon gun. Who thought it was a good idea to let the grenades bounce around?
Agreed, I never really use the G. Launcher in TRIII. They probably changed the projectile range because of the introduction of the Rocket Launcher. But the G. Launcher is still pretty useful against human enemies since it kills them in one shot. The Harpoon Gun is entirely useless. Lud's Gate is the only level with underwater enemies, and you can use the yellow submarine rover to shoot at enemies.

• The cold meter was unnecessary after Tibet.
There was a cold meter in Tibet? The only levels that used them were Antarctica and RX-Tech Mines in TRIII.

• I hate *that* background sound that they re-used from TRI-II. I would have liked it if it was the same as the prior versions. But no, they added this spooky feel to it. I’m talking about the one that plays in -Caves of Kaliya, RX Tech Mines, etc.-
I actually love that soundtrack and felt it fit those levels perfectly. Although I can see how using the same soundtrack for three straight games can be tiring. At least they tried to remake the soundtrack in TRIII.

What I meant was that if Lara was able to survive Tibet with shorts, then it must have been a piece of cake for her in Antarctica...

I actually don’t mind them re-using some tracks, but I hated how they remade it. It sounds so spooky and eerie with that “duh-ugh” sound effect...

Now I feel light like I’ve been to therapy...

Just remembered another unpopular opinion... TR Ascension looked like crap, and looked to be less enjoyable as a game and even as a TR game compared to 2013. Apart from it's monster concepts and horror aspects, I bet I would have hated it with it's awful wannabe Shadow of the Colossus inspired design.

While I personally think the concept looks dope and would have been a great idea for a new ip, you are not wrong in saying that Ascension was even less of a TR game than TR2013 ever was and people here would hate it even more

I have a pretty unpopular one outside of my group of friends.

TR4 is the worst game in the franchise.

I personally don't think it was the worst. To me, it had the potential to be the very best classic TR game, but around midpoint onwards it becomes such a chore :/
