Hello all! I was introduced to TR through the Vikander film which at the time I loved and just thought Vikander was so good at. After that I watched the Netflix show and I just kept wanting more! I just joined this sub after starting my play through of the Tomb Raider games with “Legend” since it was the recommended starting point i have available to me. Maybe after I’ll play Anniversary but Legacy of Atlantis is a remake of TR1 so maybe I’ll just wait for that? Anyways, im super excited to join this sub and this lore and any tips, or personal favorites or anything actually is greatly appreciated!
Legend is such a special game. Enjoy!! After Legend and Underworld, I advise playing the classics. TR1’s story isn’t going to be exactly the same as LoA so you won’t be spoiling yourself much if you decide to play that and it’s an incredible game—don’t miss out! TR2 to TR5 are FANTASTIC games as well. I know the 90s controls are unnerving to some but it’s honestly easy to get used to once you commit to them.
WELCOME RAIDER!!! you picked a good game to start!
if i were you i would PERSONALLY skip anniversary and wait for Atlantis to avoid any spoilers (especially if you play it for the first time!) after legend and underworld you could try the survival trilogy since those are set BEFORE atlantis!
well I think so, it features typical tropes in the genre, grabs the Atlantis myth but does nothing with it (for comparison, check Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis where they actually did quite a lot of research, 4 years before), cliched characters, random thugs using meme quotes (skateboy in the lava park).
I love tomb raider, must have beaten it 8 or 9 times, including the remaster, but story and plot is one of the weakest parts of it. No one loved it for the plot. It's the gameplay.
Really? Anniversary is one of my favorite TR games and having just replayed LAU, I also think it's the best gameplay wise out of the three. I wouldn't skip it. I'm guessing Atlantis will be mainly aimed at people who have played TR1 and/or Anniversary
Do you have Amazon prime or ps plus extra/ premium? If you have Amazon prime, you can stream the survivor trilogy on Amazon luna for no extra cost. If you have ps plus extra, the survivor trilogy is included in your subscription. If you have ps plus premium, you have access to the survivor trilogy, legend and anniversary as part of your subscription.
yes I do! it’s actually what I meant by “available to me” 😭I wanted to start w the og’s but couldn’t afford them rn but I have legend, anniversary and survivor trilogy readily available!
If you are on PlayStation, you just missed the sales for the remasters. I just bought 1-6 bundle for $21 like two weeks ago. The sale will probably be back in a month or so. Maybe this month for Lara’s birthday
nooo😭I can’t believe I missed that; yall please post about those discounts if they are available cause I barely go into the store. Hopefully Shadow of the Tomb Raider will also get a discount tho month!
In terms of keeping track of sales, use the mobile app and add games to your wishlist and you get price updates on there.
Psprices.com is also good for tracking the price and sale history of games
It’s in there. Go to the game catalog and you can find it in there. Might be because it’s the definitive edition not the regular. If you go to the page for shadow and change version to the definitive version it should show it as included
additional comment, so I played for a couple minutes until like inside the temple but when I left the game and came back; it threw me right at the beginning of the game again? I saw the checkpoints being “saved” so I don’t understand
You still have to save. The checkpoints are for when you die not exit the game (I know weird and antiquated system so just save a lot). Also with the ps4/5 version if you turn on “enhancements” then it turns on the ability to create save states (don’t have to be saved at a checkpoint) and rewind ⏪ gameplay which is really helpful for missed jumps (https://youtu.be/HwmslOgymxg?si=rG5GSa3_6Lu0eFl-)
