I played the trilogy a couple of years ago. I’m a big fan of the original games and was mostly happy with the reboot.
For me the second instalment was the best of the reboot (rise of the tomb raider). The stealth is improved making it actually viable to clear whole areas using just stealth. I also loved the environments of the second one.
Overall I really enjoyed the 3 games but the balance between combat and puzzle solving was too far towards combat to make them feel truly like tomb raider games. The puzzle solving should have been a bit harder as well to truly make them feel like tomb raider games.
Ppl think 2 is the worst? Huh, I wasn’t aware of that.
Thing is, I don’t really remember much about 3. I played the first one through twice and the second one I played through 3 times and all the dlc. By the time I got around to the third game I think I’d just kinda had enough of tomb raider and rushed through it and never replayed it.
I think I might actually go back and play the third instalment again now that it’s been a while since I last played it.
