First off, there\u2019s no mini-map on the main screen, which meant I had to keep opening the menu just to figure out where I was going. Super annoying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing that bugged me was the lack of a health bar or any kind of indicator on the main screen. I found myself constantly having to guess how much health I had left. Not ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game also has an excessive amount of cutscenes. According to a gaming buddy of mine, they did this on purpose to make the game feel longer. I felt the same way about the first Tomb Raider\u2014too many interruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ended up spending way too much time looking at guides online to figure out where I was supposed to go next. If the game\u2019s design forces me to rely on external help, that\u2019s a fail in my book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more thing\u2014it should\u2019ve been called Cave Raider because a lot of the \u201ctombs\u201d look more like caves. Just saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other than those frustrations, it was a fun experience. I&#8217;d give it a 7\/10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I only bought it because my friend was playing it and recommended it to me, but there\u2019s no way I\u2019m picking up the third one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any suggestions for what game I should play next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/media.letsfo.com\/image\/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-cover.yTyE\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.letsfo.com\/images\/2025\/06\/01\/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-cover.webp\" alt=\"rise of the tomb raider cover\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<br>\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p>\n    Note ID:\n    <br>\n    <code id=\"nostrNote\" style=\"word-wrap: break-word; white-space: normal;\">note1zmus20azm6z2q7dxmggtuez5jftv87fvcmpydpng5v2cdvvv69wq6mw4jd\n    <\/code>\n    <br>\n    <button onclick=\"copyToClipboard('nostrNote')\">Copy<\/button>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/btcpay.letsfo.com\/apps\/cyXxp1RKxQnN8bpQJjvwSEHjXbP\/pos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mar101xy.com\/images\/zapmar.png\"><\/a>Post#389\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just finished Rise of the Tomb Raider\u2026 YAY!
