Don't do this to us. It would be perfect TBH.

The environment reminds me of the concepts as well as the mythology of the Mayans and the Underworld.

Am i the only one who is really happy that the series didn't go in the direction of the Ascension concept? It was just too much horror and just did not look like a TR game. I don't like horror games in the first place so that's probably why..
I'm happy with what we ended up with..

You're not the only one.
I'm so glad they didn't go with it. It was way too dark and horror(y) to me.
I love the direction they took and are taking with the reboot era <3

I don’t think a horror approach for one game, just to see if people took to it, would’ve been a bad idea. Dealing with supernatural enemies would’ve likely dialled down the gunfights and shown more variety/creativity. The lore might’ve been more interesting to accommodate it, too.

I like 2013 a lot as it is, but Ascension’s so tantalising to think about for what it could’ve been...

Lol that would be really cool. I remember there was a solar eclipse last year in August I think. Imagine if they revealed or released the game at that time

Yes I agree. I think Uncharted is a good example. The first game towards the end kind of falls on the line between Horror and Adventure very nicely.

I think TR has always had an element of complete creepiness and horror in some levels ever since the first game. But what keeps it interesting is that it never goes full horror or full anything and it always keeps things mixed up. That might be why I love the series so much. I really think adding a horror-like or creepy element to a few levels would benefit the series and keep it fresh.
