Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 15/08/2026

This week in the comments

A quiet week in volume (7 sampled comments) but the tone stays largely enthusiastic, with a clear focus on the 'back to basics' gameplay angle and two recurring frictions resurfacing: platform exclusivity and puzzle difficulty.

Back to adventure and puzzles

Several comments praise a return to a Lara who explores and solves puzzles rather than pure action, comparing favorably to the Survivor trilogy.

PS5 exclusivity, still a sticking point

One comment laments not being able to play due to lacking a PS5, a friction point already flagged in earlier periods.

« Sucks it's only for PS5. Some of us can't afford one. I have the first three games in the series reboot, but won't be able to play Legacy of Atlantis, because I only have a PS4. »

Debate over puzzle difficulty

An explicit request for more demanding puzzles, contrasting with older worries about accessibility and hand-holding.

Small details amusing the community

Light-hearted remarks about visual details (facial expression, object physics) showing an attentive but good-natured fandom.

Top reactions and controversies

The big return of "Classic Lara"

Dominant take
28 %

Since the announcement, the dominant reaction has been massive enthusiasm for the return of a "classic"-styled, classically-attituded Lara, blending nostalgia for the Core Design games with modern technical polish.

« This is probably the best Lara Croft model they've ever made. A perfect blend between Classic Lara and Survivor Lara. I seriously can't wait for the next generation of Tomb Raider. »

85 % Demand local dubbing 15 % Accept subtitles only

Animations seen as too floaty

Dominant take

Many technical comments, especially around the June previews, flag jumps and transitions seen as unnatural despite praised graphics.

The long braid, a community obsession

Dominant take
6 %

Since the June previews, a recurring, highly-liked request calls for the return of the long braid from the announcement trailer, now a symbol of faithfulness to fans.

« Please long braid ❤ »
