Please somebody explain to me...

Hello, I just finished the game, and there's "New Game +" title on the main menu. I don't really understand what it is stand for. Is it like we start a new game and free to explore, or we just back to the beginning (with the main story) and received some new skills? Can somebody suggest me which path or skill I should take? Thank you in advance!

I am also curious about this. I just finished the game last week and have been wandering around in the original mode.

From what I assume, it's starting the game over again but you have all of your gear unlocked.

So, you've been wandering around before your final fight with Amaru. am I right?

Nope. Amaru was beat. I was just doing the expansion side missions to get things to 100%…. For my OCD.

Oh, I just know that we only need to click "continue" after the credits and then we can free roam... Thank you, by the way :D

You can? That is good to know! Because I remember playing the first part of this series on my PS3 and there you could not continue playing side missions after beating the finale.

New Game + is unlocked once you complete the final story campaign chapter in the game, "Point of No Return." The details of New Game + are as follows:

* All skills, weapons, outfits, equipment upgrades, and gear carry over into your next playthrough for easy collectible hunting.

* A new "path" mechanic, where Lara can choose from three different paths (Serpent, Jaguar, and Eagle) that all have their own special features, listed below.
- Path of the Serpent: Your gameplay features an emphasis on stealth and subterfuge. Take down your foes one by one, using sound and decoys to sow chaos among their ranks. Mud and camouflage lets you lash out your foes before slipping back into the shadows.
- Path of the Jaguar: Your gameplay features an emphasis on hunting and combat. Strike down your enemies with an unrivaled ferocity. Your agility and close-ranged prowess tear through your enemies with knife takedowns.
- Path of the Eagle: Your gameplay features an emphasis on traversal and resourcefulness. Observe your enemies from afar, scouting out to plan your next attack. Traverse with ease, attacking enemies from long range.

* Each path will unlock exclusive rewards that compliment each playstyle and gameplay, as well as skills that expand the gameplay of each chosen path.

* You will also receive unique themed weapons and outfits when you play the game.

Yes! We can! Just click continue after the credits and do not click the “load game” because it will only open the final movie scene after you beat Amaru and go again to the credits + after credits :D

So, are collectibles that I found in first run will still be considered as found in new game plus?
