Shadow of the Tomb Raider will offer separate difficulty for combat, exploration and puzzles

That's good. Often, I wish for harder puzzles, but games seem to make them easy filler so as to not stop players who want the gun blazing action
I'm a difficulty hawk, meaning I generally think devs have really weird (bad) philosophy and design when it comes to difficulty settings, but this makes a ton of sense. It's really weird to put in a bunch of unrelated ways of playing the game and expecting the player to be at about the same level for all of them.
Slide the combat difficulty all the way down and all enemies die when you enter an area.
Is there a slider to turn off the awful side characters?
SMH at people wanting to cut the combat... it's the best part of the game with the stealth.

That's something that more games should offer, people like these games for different reasons so more customisation to give them the optimal experience makes sense.
Interesting part is that they are completely removing white ledges from the game if you set Exploration on Hard. This is something that TR fans are asking for since reboot and even earlier but they finally listened.
Also for the Puzzles, if you set in on Hard, Lara won't constantly talk to herself and give you hints about puzzles. Which also really annoyed me sometimes in previous two games.
Great news really.

Good no more yellow paint giving you hints to what is cilmbable or cameras forcefully pointing you at things for exploration/puzzle.
I'll keep combat difficulty as easy though as I generally suck at games in that resepct.

LOL. Games sales increase by 100k...drop by a couple million.
I'm all in for (more) options! I really liked how you could customize the difficulty in Thief (and Dishonored, I think?) for instance. I wish more games would let you customize your experience.
That's really cool. The combat stresses me out but I like the other stuff so this is very interesting.
That's an amazing idea actually. I'll probably stick to the same difficulty for all of them (maybe rise the difficulty of puzzles and exploration), but more options is always a good thing!
Good. The one thing I hate in games are puzzles. I'll be putting them on the easiest difficulty.

One question when was the last time Lara killed a female?
RotTR's survivor difficulty was a joke, to be honest. I hope they can actually challenge us in the puzzle department this time around. TR2013 and RotTR had braindead puzzles.
This is really cool. More options for players to get the experience they want is always welcome.
Oh wow that's cool. I love super challenging puzzles, but am not very good at combat in these games, so being able to tweak those separately would be awesome.
