Legacy of Atlantis Bets on Scanning, Crafting and Puzzle-Skipping for Lara

Hands-off previews of Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis reveal five key changes: the Focus meter returns but without the old red ‘shoot here’ reticle; crafting of food and potions returns alongside a scanning device that highlights puzzle elements (scanning is optional for progress and lore); enemy AI is improved, with bats swarming and leopards using terrain to ambush Lara; skill trees can affect puzzle progression—e.g., a longer-range shot lets Lara disable falling swords in the Sword of Damocles puzzle; and hidden artifacts unlock outfits, including the Legend-era costume for Lara.
