IGN: These titles should be amazing, but they could just as easily disappoint.
2012 is shaping up to be another strong year for gamers, with plenty of high – and low – profile titles to be excited about. We all know, however, that not every one of those games is going to fulfil its potential, or be the masterclass in game design we'd like it to be. In fact, a few of the games we're excited about could easily turn out to be crushing disappointments. With that in mind, I've selected five games that should be awesome, but that – for one reason or another – I'm not entirely sold on yet. So, let's get to it.
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.
I do agree that Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness was the worse one 😂 I remember playing some of it and I took it back. That game was just awful in every way. I bought it used at gamestop and glad they had that 7 day return policy for used games 😂
Simple. He's been hating on the Tomb Raider reboots for years. I can't imagine seeing them at the top of a best TR game list let alone being on the list in general sitting well with him because of it.

“Hating”
No no, just pointing out how TR mutated into a generic action adventure game losing the appeal of what it once was when it was more about puzzles and platforming over going Rambo, slaughtering waves of enemies
But hey, continue being a dick and speaking about me like I’m not going to see the comment.
Foxtrot, I'm curious if you have played the most recent games. Sure the 2013 reboot was hugely focused on combat, but each follow up became less and less about combat to the point where outside of a few large scale story missions I don't even remember combat being a part of shadow of the tomb raider. Shadow was so puzzle focused it actually was a bit much for me and I love the TR puzzles.
I still feel like Rise was the best of the series and I was a huge fan of the originals. To me it struck the perfect balance of exploration, platforming, puzzles, and combat. Not saying your opinion is wrong I'm just curious what you think they should have done different. Games do need to evolve somewhat to stay relevant. Would you prefer small linear jumping platform levels like the original?
I think Shadow wasn't even develop by crystal dynamics. I thought it was the worse in the new trilogy
That's right. Shadow was developed by Eidos Montreal who who went and made Marvels Guardians of the Galaxy next. (Great game)
Meanwhile after Rise of the Tomb Raider, Crystal Dynamics made Marvels Avengers. (bad game)
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.

Wow please The Last Guardian will NOT disappoint! come on! D:
It is Fumito Ueda , that man is fantasy and he makes dreams. Fumito will give us a key to another realm. Stop with the nonsense IGN :(
lol thats assuming Last Guardian even makes it out this year.
About Lara croft, I think its gonna be awesome. Crystal knows what standards are,and how they play. Bad camera angles will be over, and welcome to the new Lara, more sensitive, maybe more weak. No more big boob Lara, over self-confident,who can defeat a horde of 10000 Bengal tigers with a maybeline mascara pencil, without sweating.
I'm sure I'm gonna love her character, of a scared girl, who just want to survive.
If they try to equal uncharted visuals,story,etc,and being able to follow different paths, and even going back to levels, with more powers, that will unleash many other items,stories,etc, this Lara will be day one for me.
About the last guardian, its been a long time we haven't got any news.. good or bad ones. Honestly, with a bit of luck, this game could end up being a masterpiece.as he could end up being canceled.I would prefer the first option, but too long since the last trailer, of the last guardian...
Has anyone else got two photos to the right of their screen, one of a very old woman and one of a young attractive woman. Read the caption above.
Seriously?
