Seeing as Reboots are generally looked down upon and usually for good reason, I'd like to express the question which is my thread title: What Reboots do you actually like?
I'll give my own. I recently finished Tomb Raider 2013. It does annoy me that it's the prequel to Tomb Raider and it has the same name. I'm also annoyed that I find the story of TR 2013 more interesting than most of the original series, but I really enjoyed it. Yes it's well and truly stuck in the AAA industry's 2013 mindset and it may as well be a Tomb Raider mod of Uncharted but I found it's gameplay to be fun, the story mildly engaging and even found the characters quite engaging when they aren't busy being plot devices. It helps that I finished this game before I tried Uncharted 2 which I find to be the much less preferable experience, otherwise I might have been put off it.
I've also bought the Strider reboot with Games for Gold, and I'll try that out for more than fifteen minutes soon enough.
