Tomb Raider: Anniversary App Reviews
This is the first of the trilogy that I have purchased and the wait was worth it. This game is fun, immersive, intuitive and imaginative. Hopefully someday I will be good at it.
Yes, its 2015, this game originally came out for the Mac on CD-Rom in 2008, released for PC in 2007. It is just now being made available as a digital download. Its a good game and for the price, you cant go wrong.
I remember playing LC on pc decades ago. Back then it was a great app, and it’s still a great game. The graphics may be not as great as the latest GTA, but the spirit is unbeatable. Very cool, I highly recommend it.
This game surprised me, and not much surprises me in my 75th Year anymore. The puzzles are no “Gimmies” and the keyboard commands can be a bit difficult to learn. But iif this “Old Geezer” can do it I bet most folks can. Well worth the $$.
I can’t say how glad I am this game got put on the app store, it’s probably a top 5 game for me. While it lacks in cinematics and music (you can get away with playing from your personal music stash), the rest is a valuable relic worth hunting down. I can’t stress enough, level design, level design, LEVEL DESIGN. So many games these days and even the more recent releases of the TR franchise have lost this timeless art and for me, that alone can make or break the whole deal for me. There’s no point in playing a game on rails or that tells you -exactly- where you need to go, because then it’s just glorified ‘Simon Says’ with few real obstacles, repetitive gameplay, and fight sequences that don’t feel organic. This game has you climbing over every wall, using every ability at your disposal, and every last level has a unique ‘flavor’ to it that you’re practically never doing the same thing twice. Even when you revisit certain rooms, you’re still doing something different within it. That and gameplay are among my favorite elements. And gameplay here feels incredibly fluid and enjoyable- Lara is a great deal more responsive than in the old Playstation games. Graphics might feel a little dated for those with the latest gen consoles, but I still feel scenery is gorgeous, and elegantly captured in every location. It looks very natural and fitting. Not to mention lower hardware requirements. This release can easily maintain a buttery 60 frames on 13” MB Pros with settings cranked almost to max. Highly recommended for the sake of pure fun.
