I left it until I finished the main story and I think you can enter but you can't get out until you've finished that Baba Yaga mission.


Ahh ok, I think I'll hold off until I finish the main story, cheers

I did the Baba Yaga DLC quite early on in the game and it didn't affect the main story at all. Plus you get a cool outfit and weapon at the end of it. The latter has a trophy related to it too


How long does it take do you think?

It's well integrated to the main game as I didn't realise it was DLC until I'd been through it.

I've given up on it, got stuck on a puzzle late on and just got bored.

6/10

+ Nice looking cut scenes
+ Some clever puzzles
- gooseberry fool combat
- Boring stages
- Poorly implemented VR
- New Lara's an annoying banana split

I see what you mean, the missions just appear on the map with the pink glow around them. I done the first couple of bits of the missions then I ended up finding some optional tombs so went off to explore them instead.

Really enjoying this, I quite like searching the environment finding the hidden tombs and relics

Baba Yaba or whatever shouldn't spoil anything - but there's 1 (maybe 2) collectables you can't get until you get equipment in the main game. They taunted me (and I spent a little bit of time trying).

The bow you get (coupled with gas arrows) is ridiculous OP - but then gas arrows are in general.

I have just tried to finish this and feel the same way. I give up.
The story and characters are like they're from a B movie. So weird considering the first game.

She is pretty darn fit though.

Anyone got any recommendations for games? I'm gonna trade this in.

I might trade it in for Yakuza

Resi has 3 DLC packs so I'll most likely wait for a GOTY edition, and VR.

Finished this the other night, was OK. Last area was probably the most interesting, but the story was utter gooseberry fool and I actually ruled my eyes at the ending, so strawberry floating predictable.

Finished this last night, fun game if abit bloated. The game could have ended 5 times before the end. One thing I just couldn't get past, of all the military infiltration, of all the dead soldiers that have fought in combat, Lara could beat them all so easily :lol: The characters once again were all awful and could not care about anything story wise along with the documents you find. Better emphasis on actual Tomb Raiding was a highlight and the game does look amazing. I think this series is going to be my Assassin's Creed, fun world to play in but ultimately forgettable experience.

How do you two feel about the Uncharted series?
