Phew, I just finished Tomb Raider 1-5! I've never played any Tomb Raider before so this was all new to me. First game was a nice experience overall, but it pretty much went all down from there unfortunately. Some cool environments all in all though.

I'm now onto Angel of Darkness, but it seems completely unplayable control-wise? What on earth are these delayed movements. :fearful-face:

Yeah, Angel of Darkness was VERY rough (and it aged even worse). It's sad because you can see they tried to do something new for the series, but it really didn't work at all.

I always thought the second one was the best? Maybe I just think that because it's the only one of the old ones that I actually finished.XD A pirated copy where every other level played in like 1 fps(I'm serious) yet I still finished it.

Such a shame! Despite its reputation I'm excited to give it a go. I'll try to make it as playable as I can at least. :coffee-blob:

The second one was quite good actually but the problem was I had no music, for some reason. Not a complete dealbreaker, but it didn't have the same atmosphere as a result.

Audiosurf just randomly got an update





Widescreens

Widescreen scaling is now handled much better. This is especially noticeable on ultrawide monitors, but it's an improvement for 16:9 displays too (Audiosurf was originally designed for 4:3). Most of the menu screens do still fully stretch.

Corkscrews

Corkscrew twists were completely random, but now they highlight a big moment in the song. There's still the same 25% chance of a ride having a corkscrew (except for songs that really want one and therefore always have one).

You can now play in narrowscreen too if that’s your thing.

I tried to do this a couple of years ago but the controls were actively fighting against me. OTOH Anniversary, Legend and Underworld are totally playable.

looks pretty in pink :D



somehow i knew you'd choose green :D



can't wait to see which colour BlindRhythm goes with :D
Ahh! I'm a little late once again. Gotta say I share the same feeling of many folks before me, that these colorful tags are amazing! :blobcheer:

Though I've had the realization that having black and dark purple as your two favorite colors might make things tricky. :ROFLMAO:

So I'm currently trying to find a purple that works/is readable. I won't let you beat me, purple! Not today!

Looks like I missed out on the Wolcen launch discount, went from $29.99 to $39.99 on their website using the humble widget. Might wait then.
