And for anyone wondering, Messaged @bengy, who responded already and sent me the gift link, and the game is already in my steam library and downloading. Good luck for any entries this week!
I just saw a review on this game by @steemgc recently.
I guess I am the first one to participate. Let's see... How about the fact that I have never played Tomb Raider before, so this would be the perfect introduction to the series for me. I do love Square Enix tho. Played all the Final Fantasy games up to FF13 (FF14 was multiplayer so difficult to assemble teams here in Australia and FF15 are on PS4 which I do not have, and my PC requirement is not good enough). So I would be interested to see Square's take on other game series.
Well, this is a much better introduction to the Lara Croft series than any of the other previous games. It really does justice to Lara as a real believable character rather than a teenage boy's wet dream.
I had a few goes at the more recent final Fantasy games. I really love the production values and the story. But I really dislike the JRPG formula. Do, after a short while, I give up on them. It's unfortunate, as I know that many people are ardent fans of the series. Each have their own tastes I guess.
For this game, Square Enix is only the publisher and not the developer. I think Crystal Dynamic is the development team. So, this will be a completely different kettle of fish compared to Final Fantasy!
I agree partly that they all have the same formula and it get boring and predictable at times. Many of the new Final Fantasy also suffers from the storyline, as they are too ambitious with the graphics and not enough development time is put into the story. Have your tried Nier Automata? I heard it is a much better game than Final Fantasy 15
Sorry about the delayed reply, the comment section from another post took over the reply feed and I lost track of some conversations.
I haven't tried Nier, I've heard good things about it. And I think it's sitting in my backlog of shame on Steam... Definitely one that I intend to play... Right when I finish with battletech and Frostpunk.

You're just giving away all sorts of incredible-looking games! I'll cast my lot in, even though I'm sure there are more worthy Steemians out there to win.
Thanks for sharing this opportunity with @thesteemengine group! I know I've enjoyed Stellaris very much since winning that key in one of your previous posts. I don't know if I'll ever get around to playing Tomb Raider or not. I haven't ever played any of the games.
I'm interested in your thoughts on the games if you've played them.
The benefit of having a giant Steam library combined with a humble Subscription! Lots of duplicate keys to give away!
Anyway, I did try the previous games, but they just didn't grab me. I never really got what other people found interesting about them. In the end it seemed only to be a bit because of the overly sexualised main character. It even just having the novelty of having a female lead.
Then came the first reboot (cleverly named, Tomb Raider) and that was just amazing. Great graphics, a great plot, and a character that wasn't a superhero but just starting out at the beginning of her career. Top character development. So, a real master work of story and narrative combined with graphics that would make your GPU weep and stellar game play.
This second one. It is even better! The survival and crafting modes are just the icing on the cake!
I did notice that it looks like the graphics are great. I recently got a laptop that has a GTX 1050, so it's been great being able to play games that I couldn't for years (I'm looking at you, Arkham Knight). Anyhow, thanks for the feedback. Maybe some day I'll get around to playing one of these games.
Keep up the giveaways. They're definitely fun to host. I remember when I gave away some keys in my past blogs, it was so much fun to notify the winners.
Arkham (all of them are great!). Out of curiosity which laptop did you get? I have an XPS 15 (1050) for travel and a desktop (built inside an s4 mini case that is the size of a ream of paper) that has 1060 in it.
It's a Dell Inspiron 15-1577 I believe. Amazon put it on sale last fall, so I grabbed it because I had been using my previous laptop for almost 6 years.
It's been a great PC so far, and I've enjoyed being able to play games without lag and on full settings. Before, my laptop had an Nvidia 525M, so it was a huge upgrade.
Wow, that is a nice step up! The laptop looks like a similar (non Xps) version of mine. Probably has more space for better cooling though. The XPS runs pretty warm on more demanding games, also had to fix some problems with some capacitors overheating and throttling the machine...
I've been impressed with the cooling capabilities of this machine. If you read the reviews of the PC on Amazon, the biggest complaint people seem to have is with the quality of the screen, which I haven't noticed to be too bad. I've mainly been impressed with the gaming capabilities, and sometimes I use an external monitor, so it doesn't bother me that much.
I've also been impressed with the processor. I do some video conversion-related tasks occasionally and it can convert a blu-ray rip, for example, in the duration of the movie, which is a huge improvement over the 8-12 hours one would take on my old laptop.

Thanks! Hope you are enjoying the game!
Sounds good!
