Those circular blades suck, but just eat the damage and use health packs. Generally when they are opposite to your back you can slide down. Going up is worse, they didn't even disable them once you touch the ground lol. But you get so much health packs, even outside of secret rooms. A lot of pots and tables you can shoot for items as well. Use them. Entering a loading screen also restores health completely.
I finished the Citadel. Its a short dungeon but one that doesn't really make sense too and its hard to find the initial path. With the torch I could get (by now, if you find a torch, you likely need to burn something except for the scarab room where its useless), as you see some obvious camera pan when you enter. But then the water area after the compass puzzle (another easy one). I didn't realize the 2 small trapdoors would lower the water that much further, it doesn't make sense and the cutscene doesn't show anything.
Using enemies to destroy objects is sometimes obvious, and sometimes not.
When I wrap up 4, I want to play AoD for the first time ever. My expectations are low.

Finished TR4, yeah, if I needed a reminder, for me, it's up there with TR1 and TR3.
Unpopular opinion, don't think TR2 is that good, it has one of the best levels ever at the end, from Tibet onwards the real Tomb Raider begins. The 1st half is a miss, tons of enemies and bland modern environments, I liked some parts of the Maria Doria levels, that's it.
Still have Chronicles to play, but for now my ranking of the classic era is this:
1:TR1
2:TR3
3:TRTLR
4:TR2
TLR is really good, the reasons it isn't over TR3 for me is that it's not so diverse in locations and the music, don't know, for me the music just isn't on par with TR3, let alone TR1.
The bad, some obtuse mechanics in the game with what items or things you could interact with or not and some uninspired parts in an area for me in Cairo, other than that, an amazing game.
I like how everyone runs from TR3, I've seen the game relegated behind Chronicles or AOD, lol, it's an amazing TR game, sure, it's unfair at times, especially on PS1 with limited saves, but it's far from being a bad game. I've seen polls among hardcore fans where it even is nr1, so the game clearly is viewed as one of the best.

Only issue with TR3 is flipping switches never really shows you what you even opened or changed unlike the first 2 that gave you a small clue. TR3 is more like you did something go figure out where it is.
Only set of levels that annoyed me was London. The rest were more understandable.
