When you put a DLC pack together tho, I expect more than an hour of content, and not some half-arsed bit of story with side characters I don't care about, fetch quests, and simple tombs. For me, it was best in its tombs, but it's not like those lasted an hour each. It's not like SotTR was a particularly great game, so I guess you could say the DLC so far is about right in terms of quality. I mean, $30 for that isn't exactly great imo. After checking a dev diary vid from before the DLC came out, they were open in saying these are all about one hour long, so the seven DLCs will make about seven hours total. From what I've gathered, the producers and tombs director are all the same. Like the last DLC quest, Lara is rewarded with some new gear: a costume, a bow, and a skill that allows her to use Survival Instincts while traversing tree canopies and when hiding along concealment walls. No co-op this time, although that's no big deal. Since it's a one-shot situation (unless you die), it feels like a waste to not be able to put the range of stealth tactics to use in a mission you've paid for. One wrong move, and most of the enemies are onto you, rendering stealth moot, and Lara just proceeding to mow them all down. Given the cramped and enclosed areas dealt here, though, the chance to silently take everyone down is somewhat limited. The redeeming factor at this point is that there is a little bit of combat and some chances to use the camouflage mechanic that was underused in the main adventure. This sets up the idea that an actual tomb challenge awaits Lara after having made it across the treacherous pitfalls and cliffs prior. A bit of wall climbing and rope swinging is required as she makes it to where the shield is supposed to be located.Īfter reaching the summit, it turns out Dominguez's forces have taken it further into the tomb itself. The Pillar is immediately a better puzzle, as Lara does battle against the wind elements, utilising rope pulls on barriers to block strong gusts from blowing her off of thin platforms. There is no messing about with fetch quests this time, and it's straight into the ruins and challenges themselves once you make it to the path's location. Things start out pretty positively when compared to the last DLC. Lara ventures to the Path of Hurucan to retrieve it before his lackies do. Since this DLC plays out as if the final mission of the game has not yet been completed, main antagonist Dominguez is also keen to get his hands on this artefact. Speaking to new NPC Q'orianka in the hidden city of Paititi's Skull Cave, Lara learns of the Shield of the Age Maker, which supposedly proves that Urunatu is the rightful ruler to lead Paititi forward.
