I can file Tomb Raider games under my list of games to play while not feeling entirely well or coherent. Over these last few days I’ve felt really ill. In one part due to the tree being removed from our house, all the sawdust and the rot from the center of the tree probably isn’t doing me any favors… My entire weekend was pretty much spent in bed. Today I’ve still been fighting with sinuses and other types of pain… Fortunately I’ve been keeping well medicated, but enough about my own problems… Back to things that distract me from physical agony.
I’ve been having a romp around Paititi for the last couple of days. Mainly searching for whatever isn’t nailed down, and discovering side quests and other stuff along my travels. Tonight I actually progressed further into Paititi, even managed to kill someone performing sacrificial rituals… the most unfabulous ritual of all… I’ve also been playing a bit with Photo Mode. It’s alright I guess. I do like taking scenic pictures as well as the occasional in game selfie in adventure games, so it all works out I guess. I’ve invested about 16 hours into this game so far, and now that I’ve thought about it this seems like quite a tradition I celebrate every year. Around this time I was having fun in Rise Of The Tomb Raider, and before that playing the first in this particular trilogy. While I still prefer the originals, there is definitely something that hooks into me and keeps pulling me back into this newer set.
Coincidentally they did release The Forge DLC today. I haven’t had a chance to visit it yet, nor have I ventured into coop. Perhaps when the planets align I’ll play with another human being.
