to this day it’s still exiled on the Xbox 360, not a prime destination for the genre

It’s still ‘exiled’ on not-a-prime-destination-for-the-genre, but it does also run on modern Xbox systems thanks to backward compatibility - with vastly reduced load times and a solid 30fps frame rate.

It seems like it’s generally accepted that game 3 is the best of this trilogy, and game 2 the worst, but I’m in agreement with @kid4today@feddit.uk - there’s something about the balance of ‘Rise’ that made me like it a bit more than the rest. I hope you like it!

Tomb Raider 2013 is something of a poster-child for ‘ludonarrative dissonance’:

I picked one, but just do any sort of web search for ‘tomb raider ludonarrative dissonance’ and you’ll see a huge number of articles and videos on the topic.

I still loved he game though!
