Default more puzzles in this game?

Anyone know if there will be more puzzles/thinking in this game like the old TRs that were sadly lacking in Legend? Or is it just going to focus on adventure and killing things?

I like a nice balance between them (puzzles and exploring/jumps etc).
And I hope it won't be as linear as in Legend (which the reports seem to say so ) so obvious what route to take (love the diversions for secrets and getting totally lost!)

I do believe there is a fine balance of fighting things and puzzles. they said there will be more puzzles and you don't have to take one straight path but take a different path

I'm not a huge fan of totally non-linear games. It drives me crazy not knowing if I go somewhere if I can come back or where I should first. It makes it too easy to miss secrets, and not just because you didn't see them. As for the puzzles, I hope they make you think but are not too difficult. I liked trying to find relics in TRA. It was like a puzzle trying to get to some of those, but they were never too frustrating to find.

A nice balance between the battles and the puzzles will be nice. The areas should have a challenge, but not so much that I can't solve it myself. Hopefully if the game system changes, if I do play easy level (I think it's called Explorer in Legend) it won't be TOO EASY!

I want the old Lara back, the old Lara who made me want to rip my hair out, and then have the idea come to me as I was trying to sleep. Ah the good old days

yeah this game is a mixture of puzzles and actions to keep both sides entertained, also there isnt one straight path to do for a puzzle, think they stated theres always more than 1 or so so you still do have to think but not to the point of annoyance where you want to start stabbing your relatives with forks until they're ready to be put in the freezer and then later on put in the microwave or oven,which you prefer and are ripe for the eating and then continue your game type of annoyance

least id hope not

Yeah they did say there are multiple ways to solve the puzzles and you can choose which on you want to do to solve it, and yeah they said they would be fun not frustrating.

And I like the multiple solving idea because I play the TR games over and over after beating it and doing the same old one over and over does get a bit annoying so it will be fun to have a different choice every time and mix it up a bit, plus it's more realistic, because Lara would have multiple ways to get some where most of the time, not just one.
