Understandable i guess.

Yup! Exactly the same for me.

Just a better game overall, in my opinion. Takes the reboot’s foundations and builds on them masterfully.

Same. I could play both endlessly though

After the recent movie, I started to appreciate the reboot in a different way. Wouldn’t object to a replay right now.

Especially Baba yaga and Blood Ties dlcs made me love Rise even more! They should make story dlcs for Shadow imo.

I replayed TR13 almost immediately after watching the movie. The movie really made me appreciate the cinematic nature of the game.

Shadow's dlc is gonna be mostly narrative driven. I think they're either gonna conect or be their own individual stories.

Pretty solid DLCs, I agree. Blood Ties is probably the best thing that's come out of this era. Can't remember who worked on it – Crystal, Nixxes or a collaborative effort – but it stood out as a beautiful homage to the franchise.

What I noticed the most was how unsatisfactorily TR2013's plot was translated into the film's narrative, and I started to appreciate things that I used to dismiss before. The movie left a very sour taste in my mouth after analysing it a bit.

Pretty much, it was the only actual adventure game element in the entire reboot.

Yeah. It looks nice https://youtu.be/UlPxsZRW8Sk
Such a shame that it wasn't included on Pc.

Blood Ties is great but Baba Yaga was a big disappointment. It had potential, but they wasted it pushing their grounded take on everything, rope arrow mechanics (which plagued even the boss fight) and a new plot you could solve in the first conversation with Nadia. They tried to give Serafima’s story some detail which I can appreciate, but god it was dull.
