Hard Difficulty
Anyone tried it? I tried it but I had to quit. I couldn’t get past the burning temple. Enemy fire is deadly. About 3 arrows alone will kill Lara. Stealth is no problem but unavoidable open combat is almost certain death.

I finished roughly the later half of the game on Hard (Had to turn it down for the two boss fights since the QTE glitches out), I still found the game pretty easy for the most part, just aim for the head

Doesn't work well against samurai though. They can still be killed with one shot, but you need to pull the string, and you just don't have time for it when 10 samurai are charging at you. So... no stealth there. |

The chose hard difficulty the last time I replayed the game, and I really liked it. The experience was a lot like the very first time I played the game, which is to say I died a ton. Genuinely challenging. I wasn't well acquainted with free-aim 3rd person shooters back in 2013, so it took me a long time to master the combat. But I did, and after a few replays on normal difficulty the game was too easy. Hard brought back the challenge.

I've done countless playthroughs on hard mode, I think it just takes practice

Yes. Currently I only do playthroughs of this game inspired by a user here -> hard mode, un-upgraded bow (until game forcibly upgrades), bow only, "no skill upgrades" (the animal highlight, because the game forces to get a skill). Apart from the rifle enemies, who give me a little trouble (I take too long to aim for the head), a run like this is still too easy.

To be honest, I don't really find any difference in combat difficulty when choosing hard. I feel like the damage Lara can take is the same.
It's funny. I realised about this when I was playing the game on hard last year and didn't die at any point in the whole playthrough, and then immediately decided to do a speedrun on easy, but died drastically at Shanty Town, and I was like, how? |
