to have weather events (rain, snow, etc.) that actually affect Lara's environment like reduced grip on cliffs and handholds and less traction on potentially slippery surfaces. Could be overcome by faster movements or a "save" button? 5 %

wish#
66/108
Putting a lot of manpower into ending the game with a truly epic grand finale - a long boss battle (multiple stages) followed by a LONG and breathtakingly beautiful ending FMV/cutscene as a reward for finishing the game. I'm talking FF-like epicness; they do game finales best ;) 5 %

We realize it will not be realistic that every wish will be honored, but we hope that some of them will.

Thank you for reading our feedback and good luck with the development of what already promises to be an awesome new installment in the Tomb Raider franchise from what we have seen so far.

Best regards,

The Tomb Raider forum community.
