To be perfectly honest, I’m not a fan of the original Tomb Raider series, so when I played this reboot when it originally came out, I didn’t have any expectations for the game or for Lara Croft as a character. I know this game has its fair share of problems but I really like it…
One thing about this game compared to the others is that there is a hell of a lot more content to go through, which meant that I ended up spending almost 10 hours on this second part, including the Awakened DLC… which is the actual ending to the game…
Here we are at the end… or coming to the end. This game may not be anywhere near as good as the first two, but it’s not a bad game… it’s just not a good Dead Space game. Too many things were changed that took away from the fun of the previous games…
Before I started playing this session, I was thinking, man this is such a great game. The entire presentation and improvements made over the first game make it a masterpiece I wish more people would play and appreciate.
The first Dead Space was awesome, but it was mostly taking what Resident Evil created and put it out into space with its own unique touch. Then Dead Space 2 came along and gave the series its own flair and unique aspects that perfected the formula created by the first game.
Being almost halfway through the game, may as well go all the way to the end in this second session. You know what, even after 10 years, this game holds up pretty damn well and plays great, even on the PC version which has its issues.
This game and the series is one of my favourite of all time… it’s just so cool in so many ways, particularly the sound design and the way the UI exists in-universe. That’s why this game ends up being pretty awesome in ultrawide and supports it really well.
I got this game recently through GOG, as did a lot of people since it came free if you spent enough money on their most recent sale. I’ve heard a bit about it but hadn’t really considered buying into it…
Yup, just as I thought, I ended up finishing this game pretty quickly, within 2 hours in fact. I actually like the improvements that were made in this small sequel/side story though, the gameplay feels a whole lot better and all the jank from the first game has been ironed out.
This one’s going to be a pretty short session since I’m pretty sure this game is short enough to complete in one sitting. It was originally released for Xbox Live Arcade so it’s not meant to be very long at all, but I’m sure we can squeeze some fun out of it.
For some reason I thought this playthrough would end up being a little longer, but here we are at the end of Alan Wake’s story with the completion of the two DLC. I also realise that because I didn’t read through any of the manuscripts…
