I love the Steamdeck. I’ve never had a gaming computer & I love this so much. Best $140 I’ve spent on gaming.
I played the first of the reboot series, and enjoyed it well enough, but it was mostly just a fairly bog-standard third person shooter. The really cool parts were the puzzles in the actual tombs but they were too few and far between. I got the other two free on EGS at some pint, but have yet to play them.
However, the isometric games Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris are excellent and I’ve played them a couple of times each. The second one is fun in couch co-op as well. They both run brilliantly on the Steam Deck as well. Check 'em out.
Edit: Just looked on Steam and they’re both currently 85% off until the 11th of November. I can’t think of a better deal right now. Links added
If you’ve never had a gaming computer before and you’re on a budget, look up how to set up Heroic Games Launcher and make accounts with Epic and GOG. They give away free games all the time, and almost all of them will work on Steam Deck.
I love the heroic launcher. I wish itch.io was supported. Got so many games from there.
The official itch launcher works on Linux too!
I really like the tomb raider triology. A lot of time they dont stick the landing after having a solid 1st and a spectacular 2nd, but the 3rd really takes everything great about the 1st & 2nd and adds enough new to be a satisfying closerto the series.
I’m having a great time with it so far. I was playing through the first one & I was worried that it didn’t have some sort of other worldly element to it that the other games & movie had. and then it turned around on me.
That was one of my favorite parts, the sci-fi snuck up on you.
