Whoa, dunno how I missed this review. Excellent work. I liked this line in particular: "You can even delve into desecrated tombs and enjoy a little throwback to yesteryear, back when Lara’s adventures were more about muddling through cerebral puzzles than it was watching a soft girl turn slowly to stone."

Hard to turn evocations like that when writing about shite toilet-fodder like Knight Terrors. Maybe get back to writing about games worthy of your efforts?


I don't have to prove I'm refined - that's what makes me refined!

Ah, yes. Those days. When I played full studio releases and have more actual game to talk about.

I don't know why I made the full switch to indie stuff over big budget titles, but I've just never felt the urge to go back. I think I certainly wrote better reviews overall in that period, then. Simpy because there was often more subject matter at hand.

I do intend to play the new(er) Tomb Raider over the summer, though. maybe that'll jumpstart me.


For us. For them. For you.
