Majority of people gave this game 5 or 4 stars and it makes me think those people didnt play good H game before, or maybe im just picky. I myself would give this game 4 stars, def not 5, but game has too many issues.
- first of all - roaming around mansion. I was really excited we can move freely where we want with our main character. Yet, its pretty much only chapter 1 and later on its just go from point A to B or even less, so in short wasted potential and just an illusion. Missions with Croft were nice suprise but there are only 2 and they are rather short, there is not much to do in them, rather game throws endless yapping at you.
- no "go back" option if we pick wrong, i really dont see a point for this to not exist in the game since we can just load autosave if we are not happy with results. Thing is you have to go through all the dialogue...
- and skipping dialogue in this game is absolute pain and suffering, lots of scenes have slow animations that needs to roll in order to skip foward, and there is a lot of yapping in this game, characters talk a lot in short sentences, making this game pretty much visual novel with few minigames rather than a real game
- whole corruption/character changes with Croft are great on paper, but in reality they change little and only few scenes/outcomes are different + ending, i mean its not bad but i would rather have twice shorter game with real changes rather than illusion of it, for example i expected Croft to harass MC in mansion if she has 100 corruption, guess what there wasnt even possibility for it, after chapter 3 game just goes on visual novel mode and thats it
- replayability, i would gladly play this game again just to see how Croft changes with different choices but since skipping dialogue is a pain i rather live with dissapointment what would happen and play different game that is less annoying
Dont get me wrong its not a bad game, its just not very polished. VA is rather bad, there are like 2 short moaning lines from Croft.H scenes were good, most of them. Story was ok, kinda immature but its comedy porn so i guess its just nature of it.
Problem with this game for me is that it starts like a side-scroller game, then goes into cool-mini games just to later on switch to visual-novel. Game tries to be a lot of things at once and it kinda fails later on.
