CALLING ALL STATIONS: The BBS Plays Rise of the Tomb Raider

Do you know how humiliating it is to have my shadows set to “high” instead of “very high” at 4k? You can’t even begin to understand the way I suffer. You, sir, are a very insensitive person and I have been triggered by your callous words.

Shit just got real yo

Super real, dog!

I have a thing! A THING!

Some ladies just want to watch the world burn

Hey let’s try out this magical ar… oooooooo

Let me guess, this magical artifact will fall into the hands of our enemies!!1!one

Loot? Yes and thanks for asking

Aha! The path to the next section of the story magically opens! No time for that shit, need to skin 50 animals to gear up, stat!

Looks like new quests open up when you return to previously visited areas. Not just animals, but new bad guy humans to hunt as well.

Got the rebreather (swimming, groan – though it seems there is only one “depth” to swimming which is really odd, you can’t control vertical) and the arrow climb ability. I still say this would be a better game if it took a page from the Far Cry 3 / 4 / Primal school of design and had open worlds with lots of places to explore. Hell, the animal and crafting stuff here feels ripped directly out of Far Cry.
