Pixels or Death's Henry McMunn gives into pessimism and waxes on how this console generation simply doesn't seem to be going anywhere any more. It's time for change!
Tomb Raider I, II, III Remastered is available now on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Lara Croft is back in a classic remaster of the original PlayStation 1 hit title. Is the remaster any good though?
We've gone on many adventures with Lara Croft. With another reboot in the making, Wealth of Geeks felt it was a good time to go down the nostalgia rabbit hole and remember the best of those tomb-raiding thrills.
For me, Legend should be alot higher (along with the other two ). Shadow, I enjoyed it, but has too much has fluff, as modern games tend to do. Playing the remastered series, and apart from the controls, is very good.
I really enjoyed the first 2 games, Legend and the first of the reboots and the rest I didn’t get into so I never finished.
Completely subjective list. I really liked Underworld, I preferred Lara's design. That said I loved the horror/uncharted feel of the reboot. I think all the TR games have strengths and weaknesses. None are objectively better in every way.
Like the film or television industry, the world of gaming has seen its fair share of reboots over the years. While some of these video game reboots have had
OK
So if a generation has a somewhat down year, it's over? Interesting.
Besides, what about all the other games that have come out already? Do they not count? There's plenty of stuff on every platform that makes 2012 still decent as a gamer... unless you're the type of person who needs some AAA blockbuster to play every week because you've beaten the last one on normal and can't be bothered doing more than that.
Until Call of Duty comes out, of course. And then you'll play that like your life depends on it.
Yep, That's why we have Last Of Us and Beyond getting released right, two original Sony Ip's. MS's innovative twist on Halo 4 and a Gears prequel. This generation has just stopped no more and died...ok.

I strongly disagree with this. We've seen very little gameplay this generation that couldn't have been done last generation. Graphics have gotten better, but the games have stayed the same. There are exceptions of course, but the majority of games this gen could have been done last gen, or even the gen before, with downgraded visuals.
Can't edit my own comment >.<
I also disagree with the premise of the article.
