Tomb Raider Review (™PALADIN™)
A great story, an exciting adventure that does not let go for a moment.... I would have said, if in my time I had not played the inspiration for this game - Uncharted..... and didn't have a game with its own problems. What were Lara's adventures about before? About mysteries of ancient civilizations, about mystical places and their no less colorful inhabitants, about conspiracies to gain power over ancient artifacts. What do we have now? A lonely gray (literally) Japanese island, without a couple of characteristic temples on it, I would never say that we are in Japan, a cult of an ancient sorceress, an army of terracotta undead samurai (that climb under bullets like kamikazes), a bow, a pistol, an automatic rifle and Lara covered in mud in the middle of all this ugliness. The open world turned out to be as boring as possible, not predisposing to exploration. All action scenes are dynamic, but they are far from new, especially remembering the same Uncharted. The plot is weak and full of randomness. The characters are rather flat, because of which even the moment when they try to beat a pitiful tear out of us, it turns out badly. Alas. A weak and boring reboot. Only 5 Lar in evening dress out of 10.A great story, an exciting adventure that does not let go for a moment....
