Tomb Raider: Legend

Wow, I found this game!

my first childhood game that i will forever love

Para mi este juego es lo mismo que supuso TR2 en su momento, esto es una mejora al primer titulo, no añade nada realmente especial, lo que hace lo hace bien y con eso sirve

É UMA OBRA PRIMA. Os fãs da primeira trilogia e da trilogia da raquítica discordam mas a trilogia LAU é a maior de todas as trilogias da Tomb Raider pois conseguiu reavivar a franquia para a era do Playstation 2, deu continuidade à popularidade pós-Angelina Jolie, e mostrou que a Lara consegue ser a versão feminina do Indiana Jones mesmo em ambientes modernos e tecnológicos e não só em lugares antigos e longe de grandes centros urbanos, como na fase de Tóquio, umas das melhores da franquia inteira e na qual a ninfa usa uma roupa, que sozinha, é mais icônica que a trilogia inteira da magrela que tentaram enfiar goela a baixo de 2013 para frente.

People think the trend of watering down games and making everything easy to see and simple to do is recent, but Tomb Raider Legend stands a testament of how developers have been botching their own IPs in pursuit of bigger sales for a long time now. This game cannot be called Tomb Raider, simply because just about everything the original did is absent. The massive levels are gone, and so is any semblance of a platforming challenge. All you get is extremely linear levels, where you go from one corridor into a large room and nothing even close to a puzzle can be found within them, plus an excess of shootouts which somehow manage to feel bad and worse than the PS1 fights. Even worse, each time you die, you respawn right there, so there is no challenge to be found. In fact, I would dare say that the act of dying is the outcome of a feeling of pure indifference towards the game, for it's very hard to die in anything other than the motorcycle segment, as everything is almost automated for you. The tacked on "action sequences", like the aforementioned motorcycle shootout early on, and the hideous QTE sequences and run-away-from-boulder challenges that alter the perspective (here years before the Square-Enix reboots forced them up your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) do nothing but hinder and infuriate. Finally, the constant yippity-yapping between the characters, plus the intrusive cutscenes, are the cherry on the fecal cake's top, and you'll never ask for seconds. Everything about this is uninspired, and an insult to Tomb Raider. It might be sacrilege to utter the next words, but I honestly believe the reboot trilogy did a better job at butchering Tomb Raider and reconfiguring it into something else. Maybe there was a reason why I couldn't remember the slightest thing about this experience, other than having seen the end credits on Xbox. Could that have been a fabrication of my mind as well, perhaps? As a side note, this version of the game is a little buggy and annoying to play, so you might want to download some mods before starting, such as the TR7 menu hook and a few others that you can find at the end of the game's page on PCGamingWiki.com. A putrid example of an early insult to the original Tomb Raider trilogy. Do yourself a favor and download the Tomb Raider Community Edition (TRX) instead, which includes all of the precious QoL features one would desire from a modern update to the cherished originals.

Honestly a very solid game in the Tomb Raider franchise, the only thing that I found unfortunate was the runtime. The game isn't that long, around 7-8 hours depending on the difficulty you play on. I've seen a lot of people complaining about the game not working, or there being bugs or glitches. I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches besides the audio sounding a bit off, though I did find a fix online. After some tweaking you should be good to go. Overall the story is entertaining, the dialogue is cheesy at times but in a good way, Lara always has some witty comeback to say as she's talking to Zip and Alister. There are a good amount of parkour and puzzles where you can use the binoculars to scan objects and figure out how to activate switches, or move into other areas. I enjoyed the different themed outfits during differen't missions, for a game in 2006 it's pretty solid. Just don't expect it to feel like the reboot or anything modern, this is an ancient artifact in comparison. I'd buy it on sale, overall it's an 8/10 for me.
