Kind of want to play more, but it's a shame that it runs like ass on a computer that passes the minimal requirements.

Each new game runs like ass on a computer that ran the last new game. The actual games... Not that much better.

It was okay.

@OP
I kinda enjoyed Legend and Anniversary, but they just don't have the same "feel" of the old blocky ‘90s games. Also they changed Lara's personality too much, she was more cold, distant, and mysterious in the old games. I still play TR II and III occasionally to this day.

Also the other good thing about old games is you an run them maxed out on a low-end computer.

Isn't the new game more or less a prequel to the old games or at least a prequel reboot?

Anniversary was a remake of TR I with all the new technology, and then I think Underworld is a reboot not connected to the previous canon.

And now the 2013 game is another reboot?

I suppose so. I haven't really been following it, though. I think the franchise peaked a long time ago.

I heard it was more of a prequel reboot as the story follows a younger Lara.

They did that in Tomb Raider Chronicles, and aside from her looking younger, I don't see how it meaningfully changes the dynamic of the games.

They don't need to reboot it, the original storyline was fine.

I assume the game Uncharted had an influence in the decision to reboot.
