Tomb Raider: Legend

:)

Hey kiddo, Handsome Jack here... and I just played Tomb Raider: Legend, and apparently Lara Croft looked at the concept of archaeology and decided, “You know what? Forget digging. I'm going to jump across an ancient temple, shoot some mercenaries, ride a motorcycle, and casually violate several international laws.” Now that's productivity. Lara is back, and she's basically the perfect Hyperion employee. Highly educated, extremely competent, heavily armed, and apparently completely incapable of entering a building through the front door. Every obstacle is solved by climbing it, swinging across it, shooting it, or occasionally blowing it up. Fantastic problem-solving. The platforming is probably the best part. You run, jump, grapple, swing, climb, and leap across ridiculous gaps with the confidence of someone who has apparently never heard the phrase “workplace accident.” When you pull off a difficult sequence perfectly, you feel like an absolute genius. Then you miss the ledge. SPLAT. Excellent quarterly performance, Lara. Try again. The environments are gorgeous too. Ancient ruins, jungles, snowy mountains, underground tombs, and enormous temples that definitely have several government agencies wondering why this British woman is trespassing in them. And then you've got the motorcycle. Of course. Because nothing says archaeology like doing 90 miles an hour through an ancient ruin while firing two pistols at mercenaries. Absolutely historically accurate. The combat is simple but satisfying. Lara's got her dual pistols, grenades, and enough athletic ability to turn a group of armed mercenaries into an extremely brief inconvenience. The story is pretty fun too. There's ancient mythology, mysterious artifacts, family history, and Lara trying to uncover what happened to her mother. It's dramatic enough to keep things interesting without getting in the way of the actual adventure. And I have to give credit to the pacing. Legend doesn't overstay its welcome. It's a relatively compact adventure that keeps throwing new locations, puzzles, enemies, and ridiculous set pieces at you. It's basically a very expensive employee training course. “Welcome to Hyperion. Today we'll be learning how to survive an ancient temple collapse.” The biggest weakness is that it's a little too easy and linear compared to some other Tomb Raider games. The puzzles aren't exactly going to bankrupt your brain, and the game occasionally makes the correct path so obvious that even I couldn't get lost. And believe me. I can get lost. Just ask Accounting. 9/10, kiddo. Great platforming, beautiful environments, fun combat, memorable set pieces, and one extremely competent woman who apparently considers gravity a personal challenge. I'd give it a 10, but Lara doesn't have enough weapons. You know what she needs? A rocket launcher. Actually, forget that. She needs a Hyperion-branded rocket launcher. Now that's archaeology.

A Good Fun game, short and sweeet, the puzzles and gameplay are just challenging enough to make you learn but also fun! If you love tomb raider games this ones worth checking out.
