Episode 13: Tomb Raider and Rebooting Franchises

Deep Listens is a gaming podcast series I'm recording with a few of my friends. Every two weeks we pick and play a new game and then discuss it from a literary, philosophical, and game design perspective. Its kind of like a book club for videogames. We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out!

In this episode we discuss Tomb Raider and the ways the 2013 game tries to differentiate itself from earlier entries in the series. We discuss where some of the characters and characterizations fall short and how the game's story and gameplay clash. We also discuss the how the game could better reward completionists.
