Tomb Raider II (1997) Playthrough (No Commentary)

Tomb Raider series:    • Tomb Raider Series  
This is the PC version using Peixoto's patch, which you download at your own risk. Your antivirus and Windows will throw a fit when you do. I won't tell you it's perfectly safe, because I don't know for sure. One of the features of Peixoto's patch is the ability to replace the pre-rendered cutscenes, which I've done. I'm using remastered and upscaled pre-rendered scenes produced by LeonDeka.

I'm playing one-handed with keyboard controls. Each level is presented as if it was done in one go. No deaths are shown. There are quite a few edits. None are particularly notable.

I will be skipping every single secret. They're not secrets in most cases and going after them would certainly add at least 30 minutes to the video. This doesn't mean I waste a lot of time taking advantage of the AI so that I can kill them with the default pistols. I generally did not bother conserving ammo.

After I completed the game, I went back and redid the first two levels. The final statistics at the end here will be slightly incorrect as a result. Mostly just the time. My movement improved as I played through the game and I wasn't happy with those two levels after reviewing the footage.

During the Maria Doria level, the inventory screen is upside down. I don't know why. Also, again in the Maria Doria level I make a mistake early on with one of the switches. I hate this level for all of its block pushing and didn't want to redo the entire thing so I live with my mistake.

Finally, yes I am aware that I can switch weapons and use items without opening the inventory. I just didn't. I would guess that over the nearly 5 hours of this video, the inventory screen takes up maybe a minute, minute and a half in total not counting when it's necessary to use a key or similar, as opening the inventory is unavoidable in that case.
