    This game to me is not bad, nor is it very good. The first 2 or so hours is probably a 5/10. However, after that the game gets better. There is nothing really special here, some nice cutscenes, a beautiful Lara and some ok mechanics makes for an experience worthy if you are bored on a weekend. In my opinion this game does not enough to make it memorable. It is not as immersive as UnchartedThis game to me is not bad, nor is it very good. The first 2 or so hours is probably a 5/10.

    Got it for free on the Epic store and it has one of the best openings of any game. The first one in the new trilogy seemed to have more ideas. Focusing on Siberia instead of globetrotting is a bit of a letdown. Would be nice to see more like the Blood Ties DLC but with harder puzzles.

    The Game itself is really good, but on PC it's so buggy, almost unplayable.

    Better than the previous one in the series.
    It has almost no Quick Time Events that's a huge improve form its predecessor.
    It has more exploration, more animals, more tombs and bigger. Puzzles are still to easy and still too much hand-holding (at least you can disable some of the in-game assists). They implemented swimming this time. It was crazy how swim = dead in the previous game.    Better than the previous one in the series.

    They also implemented a healing system but it's almost useless, you don't need it in any fight and Lara recovers so fast that is a nonsense (you can select some 'hardcore' options to make cures more necessary)

    Biggest drawbacks:
    - Still too many cinematics, losing the ability to play the game many times and too often.
    - There's too much bullet hell. The goal on every chapter is to beat an horde of human soldiers with lots of bullets and explosions.
    Classic Tomb Raider games were about exploring while you're facing some animals, supernatural beings and a really few humans on the way. In this case the game focuses more on defeating a Call of Duty style guerrilla.    … Expand

    Gameplay is good, but every cutscene is infinite cringe

    Rise of the Tomb Raider still feels great after a year. Blood Ties is an awesome expansion and makes you wish that the actual game was like that expansion. There was actually no need for Lara's Nigthmare and its zombies.

    If you haven’t picked up Rise of the Tomb Raider yet then is without doubt the package to go for, but if you do already own it on a different platform then I’d recommend waiting for a sale to pick up the extras.
