Now *this* is more like the game TRL should have been.

That's definitely more on track, but even that only looks decent. It is hard to understand why so many gaming companies these days just do not get it. I agree with all of the points you made Gambit, and believe me, it is not just nostalgia that makes you long for good games like companies used to produce. Almost no games today have a good sense of exploration...only good presentation.

The gameplay, although not perfect, apparently seems better than AOD -- good point! From what I can see, the influence of PoP is immense here. Not necessarily a bad thing.

I don't like the silly positioning of some dynamic cameras, and the projected shadows are quite buggy (which I expect is normal for a preview) but... there's something I like in this game. I don't know what exactly, maybe it's the natural texturing and lighting, maybe it's the tombraiding feeling... I think I'll give this one a chance!

You know what it looks like: Legacy of Kain!!! It's just the complete same camera perspectives and the gameplays looks pretty much like it too. I guess Crystal Clear's team got busy. I think the gameplay is an improvement compared to AoD, but sometimes it really gets crappy because of those camera moves! I fell down from platforms very often playing Legacy of Kain games, just because of that cam!

Her jumps look like Spiderman moves! She's been bitten by a tiny mutated spider 😁

Legacy of Kain. That's exactly what I thought. She climbs just like Raziel. Not a bad thing in my book: that is probably my favourite game of all time (dare I admit that).

I liked those Legacy of Kains too, but I'm not quite sure I want to see Lara as vampire yet... 😵
