Since the latest patch for the new Tomb Raider game allowed the option to turn off the horrible screen effects, where mud, blood, and raindrops linger on the screen, I decided to finally try the game out. Especially since the drivers from NVIDIA has greatly improved performance, which allowed me to turn the graphical settings to their highest.

I’m amazed at how great the game is. It’s been a while since the last game that made me grin and have so much fun. Although the QTE’s have soured the experience, the rest of the game is well-done and a great testament to a fun adventure that the original two games brought to the table.

I’ve recorded a couple of unedited videos, which you can check out below (click on each picture to watch):
