The stealth got better, the writing got worse. Net result feels like a wash to me.

A mí también me pasó lo mismo con las palancas, y aun así me quedo con este Tomb Raider, sin dudarlo, sin excusas.

the last of us still wins the emotional argument every single time, no contest there
UlicesByte
Emotional argument aside, this one got me through a rough summer in ways that game never did for me.
GhostKnight
Wasn't this supposed to be the emotional conclusion? Or, well, that's what they marketed it as, and I just never felt it landing the way it should have.

Oh look, another entry where Lara solves the apocalypse by pulling levers in the correct order. Truly the pinnacle of character growth this series promised us.

The puzzle design in this one is genuinely so good, I don't get why it gets buried in these rankings, it deserves way more love than it gets!!

Same year I moved apartments twice, so half my memory of this game is just boxes everywhere and Lara underwater somewhere in Peru.

They wrapped up the trilogy and somehow made the weakest entry doing it. The puzzles are the best of the three by far, but Lara herself feels flattened out compared to how sharp she was written before. 445th feels about right honestly, not a disaster, just not special.
Audreanne_1999
Fair take, 445th works.

Oh sure, blame the writers, not the fact you replayed it four times anyway.

Con un 58% de victorias en 352 duelos, ¿por qué sigue tan abajo? Algo no cuadra en cómo vota la gente.
