Good review. The story isn’t for everyone. I think it needed to be a bit longer in order to tell a more captivating story. It felt a tad rushed in order to give as much info in such a short period of time. There needed to be at least 2 more chapters for me. Still a great story and knowing where it’s going only makes it that much better. For me the story would have been around 7.5 – 8
Everything else in the review is spot on. Halo 5 really is just jam packed with content and value and has set the bar for what ALL games should come with. Being Dynamic Resolution, the game looks fantastic and with it’s 60 fps, it’s as smooth as silk when playing.
343 really have taken the next needed step in expanding the Halo universe and Lore of Halo.

“This seems like too much digging to try and find a controversial angle on things”

Asking questions about a specific review process is controversial? I posed the exact same question [without mentioning specific games] to The Throwdown not too long ago. There’s no conspiracy.

“too much digging”
1. Reads this review [at the same time] Wonders what TR’s AND The Last of US multiplayer scored
2. Search bar [Tomb Raider]
3. Ask question. Links Reviews

2 steps is “digging”? Lol!

By TR’s score, I ASSUMED the multiplayer WASN’T even factored. But, you took off 5 points for a forgettable multi.
QUESTION:
How many points get taken off for a forgettable SINGLE PLAYER w/multiplayer included?

Disliked
Any shooter comparatively speaking.

Full Review tomorrow.

In reply to Seph. This seems like too much digging to try and find a controversial angle on things and its not surprising because you always do this stuff lol As Tony mentioned before thats an old review and we are more thorough in our reviews nowadays. To answer your question directly, Tomb Raider multiplayer was forgettable and in my opinion this was factored into the score because if it wasn't the game would have at least got about a 90. You don't need to worry about any controversy with future reviews just like this review isn't controversial. No one here is a fanboy and thus there will never be any controversy unless of course others outside the site are the ones creating it lol

In reply to Seph. Keep in mind that the Tomb Raider review you linked to is two years old. What we did in the past isn't reflective of how we do things now.

Curious.

Why do some games get reviewed fully, while other games don’t? http://thekoalition.com/reviews/tomb-raider-review / http://thekoalition.com/reviews/tomb-raider-definitive-edition-review

Why didn’t (for example) Tomb Raider’s multiplayer get factored into the score/review?

If I’m going to buy a product after reading a review. I KINDA expect the whole product to be reviewed. No? Do I sound crazy?

What’s the rationale?

In reply to Ferngully. Thanks man. Yeah the multiplayer is solid but the campaign itself has some issues.
