My first and (till this year) last Lara Croft I've ever played was Tomb Raider: Anniversary, which I won in one competition that once ran on Czech TV. That's why I apologize to all the fans of this busty beauty for my inexperience, but my parents did not allow me to play games, so my only chance was during the holidays.
I played Tomb Raider for the last time at the age of 14, when I tried to kill the boredom of the holiday in grandparents. I was a terrible noob, I could not play using the keyboard properly, so playing it was very tough for me, and in the final, I had to get instruction to get through T-Rex and challenging puzzles.
I didn't finish it. I ended in the level (maybe some of you remember) where Lara is in some shaft with lava on its bottom, and she has to jump from the platform to the platform. To make it harder, there are gargoyles spitting fire, and the platform on which you are standing slides into the wall, as well as all the bars, the rings for the hook, etc., were hiding after a while too. Well, for a 14-year-old girl who can not play properly, it was insurmountable, so after a few broken keyboards and monitors, I dropped the game almost before the end.
I played another Lara this year. My boyfriend recommended me to play the Rise of the Tomb Raider, so after this short introduction, I wanted to share with you my impressions from the perspective of the woman who played only Tomb Raider: Anniversary. Resp. My indignation. Perhaps you can understand me.
Where is busting Angelina Jolie?
Who do I play for? Where are silicones? Where's the top and shorts (OK, it's cold)? What is this gentle beauty? Yeah, I'm a girl, but I'd rather see Angelina's bust. An animated character may not die, so why change the actress?
Why does she automatically jump from swing and rods?
At the age of 14, I really enjoyed spinning on the pole. At least ten turns. And I liked to swing on the rope until Lara vomit herself. Why does not she do it now?
Crafting ammunition and first aid?
Come on, why to make it so easy? Is Lara a game for kids? Where is the challenge when you died a couple of times to collect the first aid kits?
Skills?
Lara upgraded to RPG? Some of the skills I did not even use.
Survival insticts? Why?
They can paint pink all important objects directly. Where is a challenge to find where to jump, etc.?
Snow and ice, all the time just snow and ice.
All the while I hoped I would get to the other location from the ice kingdom. Bad luck. Okay, she was in the desert once, but it was too short.
Where are monsters?
Do I really have to kill people only? And a helicopter with people in it. And a bear. And wolves. I wanted some monsters like in the Tomb Raider: Anniversary.
The map.
The man was always so excited in Tomb Raider: Anniversary when he accidentally found some treasure or when he finally managed to get it, but now? Everything is on the map so search for treasures = BOREDOM.
I bet I have forgotten something.
I finished this game this week. I do not like the fact that Lara is now like RPGs I know from playing on the console. According to me, the game lacks the challenge. However, despite all the hates I really enjoyed it. Besides, I found out that I was no longer such a noob.
