I haven't been so enthused about a game is a long time. This is amazing!

I've heard mostly positive things about this reboot, but your review is definitely the highest praise of seen of it so far. I'm curious what about it made you feel it merited an "A+", a grade which could be associated with a game that is nearly perfect in every regard?

Same here, I was not expecting to like this game as much as I did.

I really liked the review and it has made me want to go out and buy the game right now. It really looks wonderful and I appreciate the review. Thanks.

When I'm reviewing most games I compile a laundry list of things to complain about, or things I would have done different. I never felt that way while playing this game.

Best game this year so far (I haven't picked up Bioshock Infinite yet).
Great review critic.

I've never been a fan of the saga and have never played a game of it (altough I saw a friend beat TR2). But aside from the good reviews, your enthusiastic review has made me really considered getting the game. It seems it has adressed some of the biggest complaints I had about the saga: a non-sexualized and humble Lara? As you said, that is way more likeable, and it seems to be a good adventure set in jungle, something similar to the Uncharted saga?

This game sounds awesome, right? Not if you own a Wii U like me

I liked the Jennifer Lawrence reference. My wife has a girl crush on her. Heck, she even might like this game. Good review.

Looks good! Question.... is this game a "sandbox"-ish type game, or is it fairly linear?

I am considering picking this one up for the PC. I wonder how the mouse/keyboard controls would be for it?
