If this super trend continues then there's no point in getting a new console, because in no way Sony or MS are going to bother competing with PC sales. Act today if you're interested as this is a one-day offer from the looks of it. The Windows version is getting patched frequently so this is the definitive version.

will I like this if I like Uncharted games but not most Tomb Raider games?

I want a box (shut up! >_>) I was planning on buying the UK version. But when I see stuff like this it's just like "dangiiiiit" because it's so much cheaper.

From what I heard people explain they said it feels a lot like Uncharted, except it's open world and you hunt things too.

meh...maybe it will be in a larger pack in a Steam sale, then.

The gameplay skews more towards something between the Uncharted games and the Arkham games.

It's well worth $14 IMO.

From what I've heard, the optional, bonus "tombs" are really the only time the game ISN'T Uncharted. A token gesture to old school Tomb Raider fans that they are clearly not marketing towards anymore.

Underworld seems to be the last "true" Tomb Raider game, but even in that game you could see them moving more and more in the Uncharted direction.

It really isn't that much like Uncharted as a whole though. It's more like if you took the basic structure of Arkham Asylum and grafted the combat from Uncharted 2-3 on instead of the brawling oriented stuff (though you can still do that competently once you upgrade hand to hand).

Uncharted games as a whole are more linear. Tomb Raider, like AA, has you going around the island acquiring new gear that opens up options/pathways. You can revisit old areas via fast-travel if you can't just backtrack. In fact, after you beat the game, you can go back to continue collecting stuff if you want, with most enemies gone.
You've also got a weapon/ability upgrade system that is almost exactly like the one in AA.
