the tomb raider game actually had a nice story

though they should've either ended it with the villain's hideout that's set on fire or skip it and just do the creepy ancient spirit at the end

there are some interesting missions in the single player but it veered wildly into "ancient evil being awakened" bullshit , which is like the rest of their stories from the past decade

so rising tide is definitely a lot different from vanilla civ be

i had to save & quit before i could finish but i like the tweaks to the tech tree and diplomacy (especially since the game no longer stops while an opposing leader calls you a poo poo head/says "oh hey I'm allied with that guy too!")

i think the endgame still looks a little sparse, but i guess that's what the next expansion pack is for

it'll be interesting to see how having increased memory will change this dynamic

probably not that much in reality, but having 8-16 times as much available memory (at least on consoles) would probably help something
