I cannot wait to replay this game on a proper 4K HDR TV, playing on PS5. Before, I only played it on the basic PS4 using 1080p.

I still hope they will release an update/bundle that puts the game to 4K + 60FPS + graphical enhancements, though.

I finished the game last night. Played on survivor for first time (definitely made more enjoyable) and collected as many documents and searched all tombs and read all murals. And........ I low key actually quite like the story now

. Maybe it's because I have a better understanding of it now and know the backstory of elements such as Jacob, and the crypts built specifically for the people who helped build Kitezh etc. Only thing I'd still fault massively is Camilla (seriously started pissing me off with her breathing and weiiiiiiird miss match delivery, almost sounding deep and croaky while talking about artefacts - there was honestly no need for the way she delivered most of her lines), the voice acting in general, the writing, the pure patheticness of Jonah getting kidnapped (Seriously no reason for them to kidnap him, just take the atlas that's in his hands. And THEN Trinity interrogate him for.....information? What information exactly? And then when Jonah gets the chance to shoot Konstantine, Jonah just stands there with his mouth open dribbling like "duuuuhhhhh"..... and then gets himself stabbed!

)

So my mind has done a 180 in regards to the story, minus the irksome elements that bring it down.

So I have a question: The Deathless Ones brought down the fall of Kitezh by causing an avalanche, so why is the whole city seemingly under a glacier dome, and not physically buried amongst snow and ice?

^ I kind of thought they caused an avalanche of glaciers that fell in such a way as to make a perfect dome over the city. Since they can cause an avalanche, maybe they can shape it as well, with the help of the Source...
I have so many questions about the Source, I wish it's true nature had been revealed to the player a bit more in the end instead of - this is a glowing crystal that makes you immortal and strong-.

To be honest, this is my favourite reboot game. Why?

- Balance in combat and exploration
- 20 Anniversary includes the season pass which has more content
- Endurance mode
- Croft Manor

I just bought this game as part of an autumn sale on Steam and I am so hyped to play on pc because the last time I played was on Xbox One.

I'm appreciating it more now that modding is possible!

I'll be releasing hopefully soon. I've got a few other outfits coming too. I tried giving her a braid but the non-pure hair physics are absolute trash and was flipping around all over the place. I settled on a sleek bun and it makes Lara look better tenfold
