They love to skewer Laura in this game. Lots of skewering going on...

LOL. I love how she opens this giant box of artifacts at the end of a raid and only takes one thing. I know she couldn't take it all, but still...

Is the world open in a sense you can travel seemlessly around without loading areas even if some parts are accessible through one or two paths? Is it sectioned off in loading screens or one whole world?
If so, it sounds similar to Dark Souls' world design. That would be wonderful.

Yeah....I'm gonna get it. Slow down, ya'll!

No, it's quite linear, with many scripted events and QTE's...basically the kind of game design I hate, but this does enough things well to offset it.

The story is simple but good. There of course the survival angle but also uncovering the ancient history of the island. I enjoy both.
But I don't like this dodge counter. You dodge, then can get prompted to stab an enemy with an arrow to the knee. Ugh, such a worn out thing.

Is the story decent?
Not in my opinion. It's a good game, I just wish it was a little less on the rails.

That moment when you use Survival Instinct and spam three arrows at a rabbit only to realize it's a mushroom.

I have a love/hate relationship with that. Apparently the developers call it "gear gating". I get it, but dang, when I went back to the Mountainside Village Overlook, I was shocked to find that all the scavengers had re-spawned. Doh! I got some xp, but all I was looking for was a stupid bird's nest (which I eventually found). As it turns out, I was missing two, so I need to go back to the other area to get the last one. And I found the last effigy in Shantytown, finally.LPPrince wrote...
You should always return to areas you've previously explored as some things you can't pick up till you unlock certain upgrades to your equipment(thus certain areas and loot is inaccessible at times).
I'm now on the beach, and can't get into one of the tombs, because I don't have the right tool to open the door. I did clear the other one (Flooded Vault). Poor Lara kept getting electrocuted until I figured it out. Heh.
Wow, you can really skunk yourself if you don't take your time looking around while in an area. More than once, I've been on a treasure hunt, only to go down the wrong path by mistake, further the story, and not be able to get back to where I was. *sigh*

Haven't decided about buying it so just watching one of my favorite youtubers' walkthrough. I like how Lara looks so innocent in cutscenes, yet becomes a vicious killer during gameplay. Kinda undermines the character growth. But hey, Jason Brody from FC3 also went through the same path where he started off as a whimpering wuss and became John Rambo soon enough when the the player was allowed to use guns.
Funny how it has the same jelly-blood effect like Dead Space 2 & 3.
Some parts reminded me of Descent. A bit. Overall, it seems like a game worth buying. Added to my wishlist, but I'd rather wait till Metro Last Light comes out on May.

Just came across my first glitch. When you revisit the Mountain Village at night (after a certain even after the Radio Tower) you'll come across this are where you take out some Solinarii. When you get 1/3rd of the way down the slope to the "south" of the map an enemy will respawn near the plane tail. This will happen infinitely. Scared my to death the first few times it happened.

I don't really get that impression of Lara at all. She really doesn't want to have to kill these guys, but they're not giving her much of a choice. Even this far (I'm over halfway), she still tries to get them to just talk, and not shoot. Doesn't really work, though.

There's an unpolished ferocity to the way Laura disposes of guys up close, like when she swings dat axe. I like it.

She has to be that way, everyone is bigger than her. If she's not trying that hard she'll die.

Have you tried the expert pistol and bow finishes? They're brutal.

Indeed. Those guys see her as target practice anyway, so her vicious killings are understandable. I find it amusing how there are a number of gamers who already label her as cold psychotic murderer. But hey, same thing happened with Nathan Drake.

That sounds like drivel of the uninformed to me. Those people probably haven't even tried the game.Para-Medic wrote...

It's funny, because to me, she's the polar opposite of a psychotic murderer. She's not out there killing for sport, or to get her jollies off. She's just trying to survive.
And lolwut? People actually thought that of Nathan Drake? Wow.
