Shadow of the Tomb Raider: The Forge Review (Steve)
The Forge is one of the many new tombs added to the game and to be honest $5 for an hour of gameplay isn’t quite worth it and is why this is rated “Mostly Negative” Personally this tomb is really cool but is also annoying how it all revolves around this revolving (ha) tower and how you have to keep getting off to allow to progress as it will lower if you take to long is just annoying. Overall cool expansion but not worth $5.
+New tomb that looks badass and plays differently than any other tomb in the game
+Co-Op
+Online matchmaking
+New outfit
+New gun
+New perk
+New side quest
-I didn’t like how the tomb required you to get off almost on each level to allow it to progress by opening the mouth of the snakes and by the time you finished opening the mouth the tower would be a level or two lowered and was just an annoying back and forth
-Really short by doing the side quest and the challenge tombs score attack and time attack you’d be done in less than an hour
-Side quest is nice that it adds more content and character to Abby but the aunt was weird as she woud look at the floor while talking to you. Specifically the part where she even goes “Let me look at you I haven’t seen you in so long!” As she's looking in a completely different direction
-The new outfit is ugly
Overall I liked the concept but the biggest flaw is that it just to short of gameplay for $5 obviously if you bought the season pass not a big deal but still should be maybe 3 tombs for the price of $5. Also thank god the achieves didn’t require you to get gold on score attack/time attack. I also did not try the multiplayer but after experiencing the co-op DLC in Rise of Tomb Raider I wouldn’t put much faith into it as it was super broken.
