The only difference with the new game is that some ledges lead nowhere and are just there for decoration.

I've read a few topics and they say she's 'ordinary' not anything about her not being rich. and so what if they've changed her? Why be so close minded about a project you know so little about? There's been plenty of times in other franchises when fans have thrown their toys out the pram because of a re-invention only to admit when they've actually played the game (shocking concept I know) that the fuss was for nothing.

It's not like they're gonna abandon the old style it's probably a deviation for the sake of versatility. Like that one off Prince of Persia they did.

In the first 6 TRs, you 100% could grab any ledge you wanted. And there were dead ends. The levels were proper complicated. In Legend onwards they've been pretty straight forward, and you could only hold onto specifically scripted edges.

What do you mean so what if they changed her? They redid her biography yet again. She was my ****ing icon for years and they've destroyed the original character I idolised.

I am still being open minded about this. I just need to mentally accept that the original style of TR and the original Lara Croft will never return, then I'll be able to enjoy the game.
