I'm not into the 100 hours of crafting and all that and this game blends that in nicely. I can also veer off the path a bit and do some searching. The action driven store part of the game is really something to behold. Kudos to the developers, this game just grabs me each time I play it.
I couldn't have said it better myself. I jumped in for a bit last night and ended up playing for like 2 hours...love it. I'm only 29% done too. Fun Fun game.

I finished the game in the early wee hours of this morning. A fantastic adventure for Lara Croft. One of those games that I watched even the credits in the end. I am in no rush to sell the game yet as I know there were challenges that I left behind and I want to explore them even more so now.

Time to dig into F4...at the same time. :)

I've done that with all the TR games including Tomb Raider anniversary. They're a lot of fun. This game is the best i've played in the series. So it's definitely a keeper.

I wish. It will be a Christmas present this year. It may be for me, my wife, or my daughter, but come December 25th, I'll be playing it.

If my wife had here way, the same would bd said for Halo 5. But f*** that! I'm happy as heck I didn't wait any longer on it. Halo 5 is seriously great MP. Lots of great modes, but just the 4v4 games are fun as hell. Throw in stuff like Warzone, and it becomes epic. It's made me also want to play the campaign co-op with three others, although it is great solo, too.

It's the best Halo yet, in my opinion.

This released on the PC at the end of January, and I just got around to picking it up and playing it. Completely sucked in from start to finish. Amazing, amazing game, and it's quite a looker on PC.

I actually traded in my XB1 version and got the PC. I'm finding myself less and less interested in console games except sports.

Once it hits a sale on the PC I'll definitely give it a shot. These types of games are definitely better on the PC if it's not a buggy sh*tfest like a lot cross platform games.

Had zero of the buggy mess that a lot of ports have, Scott. I played through the whole thing with mouse & keyboard, didn't have a lot of weird mouse smoothing going on so aiming was precise. Graphics had zero issues with me, outside of the occasional slightly fluttery cloud (only noticed this once or twice, and it was almost non-existent. Nothing like the SLI flickers.).

Never hit a single issue that made me think it was a rushed port or anything, FWIW.

That's good to hear. Still have too many games to finish/play right now to attempt another, but I'll definitely give it a shot soon. Thanks for the confirmation that I won't just get pissed off like the most recent Batman games. Eeesh.
