Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 01/10/2026

This week in the comments

A quiet week (46 sampled comments) defined by fatigue: developer-talk videos grate and the call for real gameplay keeps coming back. The tone is noticeably more critical than in earlier peaks.

"Show gameplay, not faces"

Roughly 35% of this week's comments ask for more gameplay and mock videos that talk a lot and show little. The most-liked comments back this view.

Mummies and Atlanteans: a split welcome

About 15% of the discussion is about the supernatural creatures. Some welcome their return, others find the mummies too cat-like and the Atlanteans too bat-like.

« This supernatural stuff and these monsters are honestly what I missed the most in the new trilogy. »

Crafting, cooking and skill tree under fire

One comment this week asks to cut these systems, fearing they would hurt review scores. An isolated voice (~2% of the week), but it echoes earlier criticism.

Animations "feel off"

A few comments (~4%) flag unconvincing animations and hope the extra development time goes into polishing them.

Top reactions and controversies

"Lara is back": the joy of reunion

Dominant take
30 %

The community's central theme, strongest around the release date trailer: the classic-meets-modern look, the shorts, dual pistols, Alix Wilton Regan's voice, and genuine nostalgic emotion.

« She has the shorts, the guns and the confidence back! That's the Lara I remember! »
— @claytonrios1 · ♥ 6 k · translated · see original ↗

Demanding gameplay, for months on end

Dominant take
14 %

From the first preview to the latest video, the same complaint: too many interviews, too much repeated footage. Many ask for a public demo or a long gameplay stretch.

« Hope this demo gets released to the public? Miss the days games got demos, definitely something that needs bringing back. »
— @PrimalGamingChannel · ♥ 642 · translated · see original ↗

Floaty jumps and animations

Dominant take
10 %

Since the first previews, floaty jumps, stiff climbing and Lara's lack of weight come up constantly. Even enthusiasts ask for fixes before launch.

« So far it exceeds my expectations. My only concern is the rough jump animations, they need more weight and a little more realism. Other than that I'm sold and can't wait for February! »

The contested preview: critique or bias?

Controversy
9 %

A critical preview (cooking, scanner, factual errors) triggered a wave of hostile reactions, while others find reservations about automation and crafting legitimate.

75 % Preview biased 25 % Fair criticism

A remake of a remake: why?

Controversy
8 %

The game is seen as the second remake of TR1 after Anniversary. Some find it logical, others a paid rehash. The timeline unification also divides opinion.

45 % Justified / welcome 55 % Needless rehash

Generative AI: a trust trial

Controversy
6 %

After the admission of AI use in concept work, many threaten to boycott. Others consider placeholder use acceptable and defend the developers.

30 % Acceptable / tolerable 70 % Dealbreaker
