85/100, send the money to my usual account, plox.
The scenery is sure nice:
And Lara getting dirty should increase the immershun for some people.
Jumping is simple (so far), but fun:
Unfortunately, there's one aspect of the game, which current devs simply cannot get right. Small, but significant one. The gameplay.
Looks like good spot to camp the enemies:
Unfortunately, Lara can't climb it.
New feature - chimney jump:
Unfortunately, movement and jumping while on ledges is once again 100% camera-oriented (as was in Legend), which is confusing as fuck and leads to deaths / loosing HP very often.
Sometimes the best way to perform a jump is to position the camera directly behind Lara's ass. You won't see anything (except DAT ass), but at least you'll reach the target. Most of the time.
Oh, and the camera is worse than in both Legend and Anniversary. I'm not sure how they were able to screw it up in the 3rd game in the series.
Another "new" feature: adrenaline headshot. And I thought you can't make this mechanic worse than it was in Anniversary.
Yeah, yeah. Wait for slowmo, then carefully do... something. While being raped by all other enemies:
Well, maybe in TB mode it would be easier...
Also: hex-editing 99 medkids should streamline this element.
But I guess all of this is irrelevant. After all:
a) boobs
b) nice graffix
