 Let's focus for a moment on Halo Reach since it's the most recent addition to MCC and the first to launch on PC as part of a piece by piece roll out. In short, for a 9 year old game, it still looks quite good after its 4k cleanup and it controls beautifully. It feels a lot more natural on mouse and keyboard than when Gearbox brought Halo 1 to PC back in 2003 and offers PC centric customization options like Fov adjustments. If the rest of the PC versions stack up to this, that's great news

 Firefight is here too, and it's still a blast. It's no wonder it helps set off a wave of cooperative PvE multiplayer modes that's still going strong in games today. When the rounds got started, they were buttery smooth every single time. That's even true in Halo 1, which was never originally designed for online play

Five years after it first launched Halo, the Master Chief Collection has finally fulfilled its full fan service potential with the addition of the last piece of the puzzle Halo Reach It is a genuinely amazing package that includes six of Microsoft's classic single-player and co-op campaigns and legendary multiplayer modes. Now free of any red flag technical caveats, 343 Industries deserves a ton of credit for sticking with it after a notoriously bad start and finally delivering Master Chief the love letter he deserved. Tell that to the Covenant Crucially, multiplayer matchmaking just works! I've played around 30 rounds in the past week with no fuss, no drops, no lag, and no. BS MC C's interface lets you make awesomely specific game-mode requests

 It shouldn't need saying, but Halos multiplayer dominated two generations of consoles for a reason. These modes let you either relive those glory days or experience them for the first time. Firefight is here too, and it's still a blast. It's no wonder it helps set off a wave of cooperative PvE multiplayer modes that's still going strong in games today

Halo: The Master Chief Collection Review (2019)

 Plasma shots and energy swords, for example, would update at 30fps, despite the game running at 60fps or greater. This resulted in jittery, distracting visual effects. This isn't the case in Halo 3, so all effects animate at 60fps or better. Explosions look fantastic, particles are wonderfully detailed, and animations are great across the board

 You can relive the original game's multiplayer madness once again, though you'll need to grind for your cosmetics again. Halo 3's multiplayer is much more lively than the past few releases, but it comes with a few downsides. AFK players grinding for XP are all too common, as are quitters who drop matches for whatever reason and handicap their team. These aren't the game's fault, though it would be nice if developer 343 Interactive patched in a way to join in-progress matches

 Halo 3's greatest multiplayer flaw is its wonky hit detection. Sometimes shots seem to connect, yet do not properly register. It doesn&rsquo;t always happen, but 343 is aware of the matter and working on a fix.

 The only real improvement is an increase in draw distance, which lets your PC render effects and details from farther away than normal. It is most noticeable with grass and dead bodies, but is not significant enough of a visual boon to keep on if your PC doesn't have the horsepower to smoothly run it.&nbsp;

Halo 3 (for PC) Review

  Ultimately, I spent $5 more for the game than I should have, and although I can "resell" the game, ultimately I just inherited the liability of having to keep track of an extra disk as well as the added hastle of removing and inserting them constantly.  Save your money, and just buy the digital copy from XBox.

Not the Entire Collection

 However, Halos memorable multiplayer modes are undermined by unacceptably unreliable and bug-ridden performance in the days after launch, to the point where I can't recommend that you buy Master Chief collection right now for that functionality. That's heartbreaking. But on the bright side, there's still more than enough single-player and co-op content here to strongly recommend it for those alone. The fan service begins right at the main menu

 The resolution and framerate boosts do give it a nice clean look at least, and with the exception of that exacerbating Cortana mission, it remains arguably the series finest start to finish campaign, complete with an ending that retains all of its emotional punch. As for Halo 4, its stunning visuals. Our Master Chief Collections most pleasant surprise. What was already a high point for graphics on Xbox 360 legitimately looks like it was made for Xbox one when running at 1080p and 60 frames per second

 Halo 2 Anniversary White, 2011's Halo 1 Anniversary. It's actually running two graphics engines at the same time, allowing you to instantly switch from 2004 graphics to 2014's Xbox one coat of paint at the touch of a button. Admittedly, the new facade is a bit rough around the edges I Saw occasional frozen enemies, some framerate dips, and a few loading screens that jarring Lee interrupts the pace is the impressive new cutscenes. queue up and while the graphics are up to modern standards in many ways, they're hardly jaw-dropping

 It saddens me that because of its early online multiplayer problems, what should have been a celebration of the return of Halos old-school multiplayer greatness is currently an exercise in frustration. Right now, we can only sit back and wait for Microsoft to fix its servers and party problems. And until then, the greatness of revived and enhanced Halo 2 multiplayer is still an unfulfilled promise. Still, great

Halo: The Master Chief Collection Review

 Really well done  Halo 4: From what I gathered Halo 4's story links to Halo 5 and we are introduced to a new enemy. The gameplay is not too dissimilar that the original 3 but it's a little more difficult. After playing the first three Halos I found the difficulty much harder so my skills were put to the test. The story was really entertaining from the start and I really enjoyed playing this  Overall: From someone who has never played Halo before I really enjoyed the stories of the original collection, it didn't answer all my questions before playing Halo 5 but I learnt a lot

 The story gave me a good base to start on and to understand what the games were all about  Halo 2: The story for this was much better, The Halo 2 game was remastered for this collection and the cut scenes are brilliantly worked. You can see what they looked like on the original Halo 2 by pressing the back button. The remastered version is a big step on. The gameplay was much more engaging as well

 I had a go at the multiplayer and this was really fun. The different maps and modes for online makes this really refreshing and challenging everytime I play

This is the first Halo game I've played FYI

 This includes every single multiplayer for all of the uh, aforementioned games. Let's Halo 1, Halo 2. They did a remastered multiplayer mode known as Halo 2 Anniversary Multiplayer, Halo 3, Halo 4 in Halo Reach, and again. all extra maps and dlc are included

What a narrative. Who is Lara Croft? Is she the defender of civilizations, subsequently the world, as she fights corrupt PMCs and kills ancient evils? The wholehearted girl who cries at the loss of a character she met 2 hours ago? The narrative tells you this unflinchingly as the game begins with Lara unremorsefully causing the Armageddon and getting hundreds to potentially thousands of people killed. Not sure of the scope, but that's as we see it. This is touched upon later by her, but like is best said by her companion Jonah: she seems to think it's all about her regardless

 Stealth kills are very satisfying, and it's also a satisfying loop to get into, short of having more mechanics to really round it out (a la Last of Us, imo).

 Except the game falls into all the pit traps any other of its ilk do, which is, "You are only allowed to climb here, and here. All the other space in this open world game is unavailable, sorry!" What's the point of giving me these fun tools if I can't even climb a regular, flat wall like I usually do when you *want* me to? Not only that, but I kept confusing completely non-traversal terrain with my strict, predetermined path; which they easily could have been, had the game any sense of variety. In the linear segments, it was at its worst, and underwhelming in tombs. Something that could have had a lot of variety for active, engaging gameplay, instead just felt like a frustrating railroad that killed time

What an absolute graphical treat, this game looks and runs pretty amazing. Of course, near the end, it wouldn't stop glitching on me every chance it got (I think the developers ran out of time), but for the most part it all played beautifully. Much of the animation I saw was fantastic (again, except glitches, like opening sarcophagi), Lara felt great to move around and fantastic facial animations (no, not the lipsync). The combat was easily the clunkiest part, but I can excuse that as it wasn't the worst thing ever

In terms of gameplay, everything controls fairly smoothly except when it glitches on my 10th consecutive climbing segment jump, or when I'm underwater and can drift like I'm in fucking Initial D. The open combat is sorely neglected. There's essentially no satisfaction from openly murdering these poor PMCs Lara comes across--not even in the shotgun, which is meant to be the very epitome of feel-good shooting in games. Not in this one, sadly

 Wait for a sale, Rent or never touch it again. Rating scale with rent being replaced by deep Deep Sale on PC This is a buy, but it's tentative. You really need to understand what you're going into. If you like to Rise, you'll probably like this

 And now it's time for the Big Dog which is gameplay and a bit about the story now. Tomb Raider starts where let's be honest I Think they all should have started and that's Lara and deep shit set a bit after. Rhys She's gotten herself into trouble once again by setting the stage for the end of the world. Supposedly she's fresh off stealing an ancient relic that can maybe possibly bring on the apocalypse and then comes right in the crosshairs of an organization Trinity which also wants the relic for themselves so they can reshape the world if they combine it with another relic convoluted you ask? Surprisingly enough, not really, you see

 It's not bad, it just doesn't really do anything for me. Jonah on the other hand, continues to be excellent with a nice rendition of the side dude with the tude being split down the middle with a caring, older bigger brother. And now it's time for the Big Dog which is gameplay and a bit about the story now.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?"

Now, the reason I didn't enjoy these activities in 'Shadow' may be considered questionable, since it is unfortunately related to the (still fantastic) graphical quality and environmental design, which makes gameplay conflict jarringly with appearance. Thanks to expansive vistas and excessive (but realistic) amounts of clutter everywhere, areas seem much less linear than they actually are. On the surface, this might sound nice, and could have been an improvement if it didn't actually reduce player freedom by preventing you from going anywhere you are not absolutely supposed to go. In the first 'Tomb Raider', the area borders were very obvious, which is admittedly clunky, but in exchange everything inside was traversible, whereas in 'Shadow' you can't even jump on the roofs of houses

Combat encounters have also been trimmed significantly, both overall and in terms of number of enemies, which leaves puzzles and traversal for the majority of what you actually do. While there are fewer, but much larger world areas, both mandatory as well as optional puzzles (crypts and tombs, which are much more hidden and out of the way now), are more numerous and notably larger than before.

 The completely unnecessary side-quests added for padding are also insultingly nonsensical, such as when a guy from an isolated village in the middle of the jungle asks Lara to find an artifact the queen tasked him to acquire as proof of his worth, because he 'doesn't have the time'. This might be par for the course in MMOs, but at least a little better should be expected from a story-focused first-person game such as this, especially when between the many lengthy (often unskippable) cutscenes and annoyingly long animations for everything from sitting down at a fire to wiggling through a crevice during which you lose control of Lara, large portions of the game are non-gameplay.

For one, not only is the story forgettable, which is to be expected, the narration (the overall way in which the story is conveyed), which was excellent in the first 'Tomb Raider', is complete garbage here. Like in many blockbuster movies, things happen more or less randomly all over the place without any coherence or emotional urgency and even though the scope is supposed to be grander, it never feels like there is much at stake without any personal investment from Lara, who is really just a tourist who happens to be nearby when the locals do things. The completely unnecessary side-quests added for padding are also insultingly nonsensical, such as when a guy from an isolated village in the middle of the jungle asks Lara to find an artifact the queen tasked him to acquire as proof of his worth, because he 'doesn't have the time'. This might be par for the course in MMOs, but at least a little better should be expected from a story-focused first-person game such as this, especially when between the many lengthy (often unskippable) cutscenes and annoyingly long animations for everything from sitting down at a fire to wiggling through a crevice during which you lose control of Lara, large portions of the game are non-gameplay

The first and sadly, for me at least, only positive aspect of this game were the absolutely gorgeous graphics. It's quite impressive how much visual fidelity has improved in a mere five years, and the performance is good as well.

 Term rating is the primary focus here, thankfully. so story missions feature fewer firefights than the past two games and more lowly traversal shadows. puzzle based story missions optional. Crypts and nine Challenge tombs are giant, intricate affairs where ideas are rarely reused, forcing you to figure out their rules afresh each time

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Review

The Developers : how many times we should let the players fall in love with Lara Croft? Y E S. 

-The story discovers more about Lara vs Trinity conflict. It also solves the cliffhanger at the end of Rise of the Tomb Raider.

This time they invested all they got into the main story, and there is no Croft Manor Mode.
