LOTS of explicit gore – and a surprisingly whiny Lara Croft

To be candid, I was disappointed with this game. Sure the graphic "quality" is good (technically), and the platforming experience is what I expected, but there were two things that stood out for me that made me less than enthusiastic about this game: 1) I'm not a prude (my favorite game is Skyrim), but the gore in this game was over-the-top for me. Having Lara Croft drop into a room filled with bloody body parts, with skinned victims also hanging from the rafters, was unnecessarily gory. Later, Croft takes a tumble and, if handled improperly, she gets a long pipe shoved up and through the bottom of her mouth. Too gruesome for me. No thanks. 2) I know in this game she is supposed to be a younger, less experienced, Lara Croft, but right from the start she sounds totally whiny. She whimpers at every bug bite. It got irritating. Not very much like the Lara Croft of other Tomb Raider games I have played, nor like the supremely-confident movie version. Basicall ..., disappointed. I wanted to like it and couldn't.Read full review
