I played TR probably back in 2018-2019 ish, I remember mostly enjoying it but nothing really stuck with me. I almost started a new playthrough yesterday actually but decided to make my way through my backlog instead.
Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

Started out trying to play F.E.A.R. platinum edition and Tomb Raider GOTY edition. I just don’t like story games… TR is far more story heavy than F.E.A.R. but both have plenty of cut scenes. I also feel like maybe TR was created during the peak of quick time events because the first half hour was just mash some button repeatedly to win the movie (the game uses the word “mash”, that’s not just me). I ended up playing Dead Cells and Gradius V instead. I suppose I just like more arcadey style games.
I finally finished downloading all the digital games I had for the PS4 that had single player content and disable the network connection in order to prepare for an eventual jailbreak, so maybe I’ll play DOOM 2016 this week. Never did finish it.

I played F.E.A.R. just a few months ago and it’s so good man. Holds up so well. Still looks great too. Are you using the EchoPatch? I found it to be just a super solid timeless FPS that can stand on its own purely based on gameplay. Apart from the bizarrely anemic assault rifle all the weapons are so satisfying to use, and the AI still feels surprisingly good even in 2025.
Also, make sure you play the first expansion Extraction Point, it’s imo even better than the base game. Don’t play the second expansion though.

I very much remember when the ceiling ninjas show up for the first time in F.E.A.R. I physically recoiled and almost fell out of my chair.
