alexis524 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 So, decided to get serious and load this up after it's been sitting on my HD for months now. Game is gorgeous, but seems a bit on the easy side. I've breezed through the first 2-3 hours and am now at the Russin train yard. Thinking of upping the difficulty to max as it's not all that enjoyable at this point. It feels more like a walking/spelunking/explore abandoned buildings simulator at this point than anything.

Jason Carr Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'm looking forward to playing that as well, @alexis524. Good to know that I should play it on hard from the get go. I loved the previous one in the series but I believe I did end up playing it on hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexis524 Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) I would definitely, especially if you're a veteran of the previous TR. That was one of the finer points i enjoyed. That controls, upgrades, etc. all felt and worked exactly like the last, it was all very familiar and almost second nature, just with nicer eye-candy and a more diverse color palette. The first was very drab i thought, but, this, wow. it's vibrant for sure and really, REALLY sets the mood. You'll enjoy for sure, just crank up the difficulty.

Jason Carr Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Killer. Perhaps I should load it up finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styphelus Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I'm enjoying it. Up the difficulty if you find it too easy. Did you play the first one? I play it more for the story than anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a big jump to make to buy into the innocent moutain explorer to now a stone cold kill everything moves character, but it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliot763 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I liked the last one a lot and enjoyed this one for the most part, but for some reason it started to feel like a chore to complete towards the end. Maybe it was the difficulty not being challenging enough to keep my interest but I don't know. It's definitely a better game than the last on paper (better graphics, more developed mechanics) but overall it didn't seem to live up to my fond memories of the last one.

Guest Kirsten Marie Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I remember spending quite a bit of time on the first one. Really enjoyed it. Excited to try this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexis524 Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 I do wish they'd take map icons/points of interest out such as where to find a document, relic, mural, etc. Too much hand-holding, It's as hard as hilighting the icon on your map and then pressing RB in-game to see the path/location of said icon. I wanna find stuff on my own, you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
