The reboot is a typical 3rd person shooter with platforming. Focuses mostly on combat, barely any focus on exploration. It feels like a reskin of Uncharted. Then if you play the original games or the LAU reboot, there is more focus on traversal. There is a sense of isolation where there is just Lara completely alone in this giant space. That’s another thing that was lacking. Scope. You don’t have these absolutely massive vistas where you can get lost in how alone you are.
Are there any plans for the series to pull away from the Uncharted clones?
I hope so, it felt like it was trying to be uncharted without ever actually reaching the greats of uncharted at the same time. Plus the puzzles in uncharted felt more tomb raider esque than whatever the recent version of tomb raider gave us which felt more like assassin’s creed platforming areas with an uncharted moveset. I kiss genuine puzzle rooms and platforming where every step before the jump mattered.
