    Rise of the Tomb Raider is truly a phenomenal game from top to bottom and it has some of the best visuals around. But graphics alone do not make a game great and Rise does not rely on them.

    On PC, Rise of the Tomb Raider is the same fantastic action adventure we played on Xbox One some months ago. if you have a high-end machine, this new version offers an even more immersive experience thanks to numerous graphical improvements.

    Rise of the Tomb Raider is a great adventure game. More exploration, platform zones and stealth mechanics than shooter moments, great plot and full of content to discover.

    The thing that really stands out about Rise of the Tomb Raider is that you care about the characters at all.

    Rise of the Tomb Raider on the PC looks and plays fantastically. Lots of various graphical options allow for comfortable gameplay even on weaker machines. Nixxes Software deserves some serious praise but let's not forget that real thanks should be aimed at Crystal Dynamics. The PC port wouldn't be so good if not for the excellent Xbox version.

    A little too streamlined in places, but Rise of the Tomb Raider does a lot to improve upon its predecessor.

    It's no Tomb Raider, but with the new expedition mode, maybe it doesn't really need to be.

    Tomb Raider 2013 was one of my favourite games in recent years. So I was looking toward this with great anticipation. If they had just doneTomb Raider 2013 was one of my favourite games in recent years. So I was looking toward this with great anticipation. If they had just done more of the same, I would've been happy.
    Oh boy, not only did they delivered all that was great about TR2013, but they have also expanded and reworked so much of the game that it feels like proper progression of the gameplay.

    The crafting system has been expanded and the tombs now feel like proper puzzles (although nowhere near as hard as the original in 1996). The graphics have been reworked and Laura looks AMAZING.
    Unfortunately there are some optimisation issues. The Anisotropic filtering takes a lot of horsepower (yeah, it's like 1999 all over again!) and the shadows are a blocky mess and they have a massive impact on performance. Regardless, it looks beautiful.

    If anything, I felt that ROTTR could use a bit more content, but that's more to do with the fact that I just want to keep playing this forever rather than a lack of content.

    Recommended with rainbows and fireworks.

    Si te gusta la saga Uncharted o el anterior Tomb Raider, éste sin duda no te va a defraudar.

    Las mismas mecánicas de siempre en cuanto a la "visión especial", armas de fuego, arco y piolet (con su menú de mejoras), una buena historia de poco más de 20 horas y unos muy buenos gráficos. El contenido secundario es pequeño en cuanto a misiones (se agradece) y por los demás, los mismos coleccionables del anterior. He jugado a un dlc que viene con esta edición y me ha recordado más a un RE7 en tercera persona que a otra cosa. Prescindible.

    Tal vez en esta entrega se abusa más que en el anterior de plataformeo (muy guiado) y no sé si es por mi mando (de xbox one para PC, excusas de manco) pero en algunas ocasiones he muerto por la poca precisión a la hora de saltar de un lugar a otro escalando. Por lo demás, piolet, flechas para madera blanda, escenarios con "puzles" usando balanzas,...lo de siempre. La IA enemiga a veces parece estar rotísima. Hay un tiroteo en concreto en el que nos movemos bajo el hielo y disponemos de varios agujeros para emerger y matar al enemigo. Daba igual que te movieras constantemente que siempre que salía del agua los tenía esperándome. Pero en otras ocasiones la IA se vuelve más estúpida o el escenario es más propicio para matarlos a la primera.

    El juego viene con varios niveles de dificultad pero una vez elegido uno ya no se podrá cambiar. Empecé, campanudo yo, con el superviviente extremo. La particularidad de este nivel es que se basa en el nivel Superviviente añadiéndole que para superar el juego hay que ir de campamento en campamento, por lo que si te matan irás al anterior empezando de nuevo desde ahí. Como comentaba anteriormente, los problemas con la escalada hizo que finalmente bajara a superviviente. Lo he disfrutado más y he muerto bastante, especialmente haciendo escalada :D Pero superviviente extremo es realmente retador.

    El tramo final del juego me ha dejado una sensación agridulce. Tendremos oleadas de enemigos "normales" con los que vamos a sufrir para derrotarlos (los hay que con un tiro caen muertos y los que están blindados), luego dos pequeñas oleadas más de rivales "nativos" a los que mataremos sin mayor problema y el boss final es decepcionante. QTE. Los puñeteros QTE. ¿Por qué?

    Como he dicho más adelante, los gráficos son muy muy buenos, cosa normal en estos años para un juego de esta emvergadura. No obstante, con una buena gráfica (gtx 980) y con la configuración óptima que propone Nvidia los fps no son nada estables (36-60fps) aunque solo he sentido un tirón. Finalizando el combate con el boss final, no sé si pretendían que el golpe de gracia fuera a cámara lenta o directamente ha petado todo, porque marcaba 14fps.

    Lo dicho, de esos juegos que hay que tener sí o sí en la biblioteca.

    Overall pretty good game. Not as good as 1st, but very good.

    Pros:
    - Well polished graphics with no bugs (unlike part 3). Interesting Slavic and Byzantium mythology.
    - Good puzzles. Some of the puzzles in the DLC actually made me look up walkthroughs for the first time in the franchise.
    - Some stuff to do on the map (not a dead window dressing like in part 3)
    - Lara redesigned from a supermodel into a cute girl

    Cons:
    -A bit predictable plot twist
    -Goofy things like Lara looking at the Soviet coat of arms as it was an ancient relic, and somehow translating "Glory to Soviet Workers" written on it into "ah yes, this ancient monument tells me there's a cave over there"
    - Jonah redesigned for some reason from Samoan into black (afro and all)

    This was my first experience with Tomb Raider since the ps2 games.
    I started to play with high expectations, and this was attended in the beginning, but after a few minutes the problems starts to show up.
    The first thing i don't like about this game was the pace. This game is too slow if compared with the ps1 and ps2 games. They basically have transformed Lara from a badass who run and gun everyone in her eye sight, to a scared average girl who needs to hide in bushes and stealth kill the enemies
    The exploration in this game is not good also, as you have too many boring things to do like:
    -Hunting animals (that's so **** boring)
    -Ton of collectables to catch
    -Exploring tombs that the majority looks all the same
    -Boring side quests
    The story of this game begins nice, but also fall shortly after a few hours, when stupid things starts to happens. A lost village hidden in a mountain that doesn't feel like is hidden at all? Seriously? How in the **** hell trinity with a ton of helicopters can't see it? That's so **** stupid.
    And now the worst of all things: The anti USSR sentiment in this game.
    This game has a load of **** about USSR, and that's funny because there is a lot of propaganda about Lara Croft being a strong women representation in games and they forgot that USSR was the first country to give equal rights to men and women in the world. Before Soviet Union women can't go work like men and because of this i will give this game no more than a 0 out of 10
