It's been a hair over a month... that didn't take long.

Anybody own this already? The first game had DLC that was mostly useless fluff, but the extra tombs were nice. Is there anything like that here? Looks like the only thing that could fall in that category is the Baba Yaga thing?

I'm really enjoying it. It will put current hardware to shame though, with all the options cranked up.

You might wait for a little larger discount if the first one wasn't your thing, but it is a really good game and i'm very much enjoying it.

I bought it full price, very satisfied with my purchase, no regrets.

Gameplay same as 2013, updated graphics, removal of quicktime events, a new purchase option (find in-game coins, buy cool stuff), offer a variety of weapons for each class.

Can't speak to the DLC, reviews said it was pretty short and not really worth the full price, so I'm waiting till that goes on sale (with this post I'll have to go check).
No matter how bad the new homepage sucks or how bungled the new management is...

To all the original writers/contributors and volunteers, please know that I have nothing but the deepest love for you and the work you've done.

Interesting that nvidia's logo is on there, considering they had to optimize for consoles originally, and its predecessor was an AMD title.
