When you first saw this game you might have thought "WTF!!!!" but delve deeper into it and there is a gem in the rough waiting to be cut. The gameplay seems basic at first but it soon grows on you and shows that not all good games have to have a fancy control system with bullet time etc. Sure it may have the odd crack here and there (namely not really knowing what you are meant to be doing) but thats what tomb raider is all about, figuring it out for yourself.
The boss fights this time around are better disuised aswell. There is no HP bar in the corner telling you how much damage you must inflict to win, no repeating the same move over and over again until the bosses HP reaches 0. It is just plain and simple creativity which wins you the fight. If you take the kraken fight for example, there is no HP bar over its head, no marker telling you what to do, you just have to try things out until you get there.
This game brings with it all the thought and creativity of the tomb raider games of old and a few new ideas to. Give it a go!
