Tomb Raider, Uncharted and Indiana Jones
Posted: Fri Jun 01, 2018 9:19 pm
With Shadow of the Tomb Raider only four months away I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the resent reboot, the series that inspired the reboot Uncharted and the franchise that started this sub-genre Indiana Jones.
For my own take I love all three, I was never a big fan of the classic TR games but the reveal trailer for Tomb Raider: A Survivor is Born really looked interesting to me and I bought it when it came out due to it's good reviews. The game did have it's issues but what I love most about it was just how human Lara was and her relationship with her best friend Sam Nishimura who has become one of my favorite characters of all time tied alongside this current incarnation of Lara and I really hope she returns as Lara's in game partner as she has the potential to become of the best companions in gaming.
As for Uncharted I love this game just as much as TR, I started with Uncharted 2 Among Thieves and I've been a loyal fan ever since. I love Nate, Elena, Chloe, Sully and most recently Nadine. As of the Sam of this series I liked him but that was mostly due to Troy Bakers performance and not the actual character as he causes a lot of problems and never really pays for it... Until the next game were Karma catches up with him and he he becomes the universal punching bag.
And as for Indiana Jones, what can I say that hasn't already been said, Raiders of the Lost Arc and The Last Crusade are classics and while their flawed I do enjoy The Temple of Doom and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull though I will admit that I like the latter more then the former because Willie is the worst. Mutt isn't much better but I'll admit that a big chunk of that is mostly due to the film ignoring Indy's daughter and replacing her with some random guy we never heard of before. Though in my opinion the film makes up with it by bringing Marian back and her and Indy getting married.
So what are you're thoughts on these series, have any favorites or would you like to see Chuck review any of them, I'd like to know.
