    It got off to a good start with its interesting story, but it couldn't keep my interest alive. I'm on hiatus right now and I'm thinking of going back and finishing it up but I'm not in a rush for that

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Jeśli chodzi o Rise of The Tomb Raider to tu bawiłem się równie dobrze co w pierwszej części z 2013 roku, aczkolwiek poczułem lekkie znudzenie w pewnym momencie. Gra oczywiście nie jest pod żadnym pozorem zła. Akcja rozgrywana w mroźnym klimacie daje sporą immersję a sama Lara niezmiennie dąży do odnalezienia skarbów mimo tego, że może się to źle dla niej skończyć. Gra klasycznie posiada wiele zagadek o raz znajdziek co jest już tradycją w serii. Mimo gorszej oceny od poprzednika, to gorąco polecam.… Expand

    An unforgettable adventure. There is a tempo issue. In 2013, this was quite consistent.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Prepare to embark on a wild adventure with Lara Croft in the latest addition to the Tomb Raider series! With stunning graphics and a wide range of skills to master, this game promises to keep you entertained for hours. The best part? The fast-action sequences have been reduced, so you can take a breather and appreciate the beauty of the game.

    However, be warned: the game's storyline stinks worse than the cheese you forgot in your fridge for three months. It reeks of British supremacy and Lara's questionable moral compass. For instance, when an inmate asks for her help, she turns a blind eye until he offers something big in return. Come on, Lara, where's your humanity? Also, Lara doesn't seem to give a rat's tail about her friend Jacob's injuries, but god forbid anything happens to her white buddies.

    Speaking of Jacob, his character is poorly written, and Lara treats him like a slave. We don't need another movie about a white savior, thank you very much.

    And don't even get us started on the looting. It's ironic, considering the UK's history, but apparently, Lara doesn't give two hoots about cultural sensitivity. She's too busy destroying archaic buildings and adding to her collection of shiny objects.

    Finally, the game's true villain may surprise you. Lara's hypocrisy shines through in her attempt to persuade Anna not to do the very things she herself has been doing. Talk about a lack of self-awareness.

    Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, the game's cultural insensitivity and questionable storyline leave a sour taste in our mouths. Crystal Dynamics and Microsoft studios should seriously consider their lack of cultural diversity and respect for other civilizations in future games.    … Expand

    Good game, story quite ok but cribbed (Indiana Jones 3) and clichéd. Diversified (shooter, action, jump'n'run, puzzles, stealth)., but not outstanding game play. Great main character.

Movement is fluid and smooth all through, and it shows that heart and passion went into ensuring this game retains the spirit of a classical tomb raider game. However, I think the story is boring and nonengaging - it's bugged down with lousy pacing, scripted/stiff acting, and poorly written characters. Despite being a famous video game character, Lara Croft has the personality of a brick wall: no humor, no edge, no sass, nothing noteworthy. The villain of this game is also painfully one-dimensional. Every character introduced in-game is forgettable and doesn't leave much of an impression. I get that we don't play Tomb Raider for the story, but it wouldn't kill the developers to put some attention into character development and storytelling. That aside, I had a lot of fun with this game. Strongly recommend.… Expand

    A fun adventure with good puzzle-solving and weapon play. Some of the movement mechanics are quite janky and unintuitive if you try to push how fast you can move or climb something. Overall, a solid game

    This game is very safe and generic. Very standard story and very standard gameplay. Absolutely Nothing special. Really not many memorable scene or dialog lines to remember... It could be little bit shorter and condensed, although it's not very long. Unfortunately on PC this game is poorly optimized.

    Free drop on the Epic Store. Bigger, better and more expansive than the first game with less janky QTE. Though still lots of hand holding and dumbed down gameplay like the first one. I did like the exploration and this second game seemed like it had a lot more combat in this one. Not a fan, its ok-ish I suppose?

    Rise of the tomb raider is a solid game with fun gameplay and good combat. The story is fairly decent and the games graphics look excellent, especially for a 2016 game. The only complaint that I have is the framerate drops often enough to be noticeable, and the game can get a little repetitive.

    Rise feels more like a Tomb Raider game than the 2013 reboot, which is good, but at the same time still retains most of it's overly streamlined game designs, which isnt as good from where i'm standing.

    The graphics quality is still strong even in 2021, strengthened by an impressive art design in and around the ancient historical environments that pack a great amount of detail. Lara    Rise feels more like a Tomb Raider game than the 2013 reboot, which is good, but at the same time still retains most of it's overly streamlined game designs, which isnt as good from where i'm standing.

    The graphics quality is still strong even in 2021, strengthened by an impressive art design in and around the ancient historical environments that pack a great amount of detail. Lara herself is more mixed looking, her facial overhaul makes her look kinda generic even compared to her 2013 self.

    Performance on PC can be problematic, in open world areas there is quite a lot of stutter, freeze ups and big fps drops, especialy in the Soviet gulag area, while in linear sections game runs mostly fine.

    Gameplay wise, the exploration in Rise feels more fleshed out than in TR 2013. While tomb raiding sadly remains 'optional', these tombs luckily offer way more depth and personality than their TR 2013 counterparts, however they still lack in the department of satisfying puzzle solving, as they are still relatively simplistic, and the rewards for solving tombs...rudimentary skills, not some cool relics. A new addition are the Crypts, which are like mini optional tombs which add some welcome variety. I wasnt a big fan of the bigger hub areas, they felt more like a chore to explore and traverse, i would've much prefered a more linear level design over them. Not to mention once you reach a big hub area, it breaks up the pacing of the game's main story, creating a feeling of disconnection between it's urgency and leasureness of Lara binging side activities. The progression locking of some areas disappointingly returns too, the very first Siberian area you land in has places that you cant reach early on, like why should i back track there late in the game ? The optional game modes were wasted time and resources in my opinion aswell, that could've been put to better use by expanding on campaign or story DLC.

    Core gameplay remains pretty much the same as in 2013 title, gunplay feels rather floaty with little feel, you cant take cover manually, stealth is done for you by the game aswell, all this hand holding is just so irritating. And to my deep disappointment, the dual pistols, that were teased in 2013 game's ending, are no where to be found. Some guns still sound really weak. For some dumb reason you're not allowed to remove silencers anymore once the game applies them. There are now more skills and weapon upgrades to unlock, but i dont get why they made Lara unlock some of the same skills she already learned in 2013 game. Several of the skills i found either rudimental or making the game way too easy for me. Some of the weapon upgrades make guns look goofy, sadly they cant be removed once applied, just like silencers. Platforming sadly remains pretty simplified, and at times glitchy, leading you to death at not your own fault. None of Lara's classic advanced acrobatic moves return either sadly, apart from an added ability to swing across select places with a hook. Swimming makes a return, but it too mechanically somehow feels less satisfying than in CD's earlier Tomb Raider games. Atleast this time Lara has more clothing options compared to 2013, most of whom are pretty boring still, and sadly there are still no classic outfits, apart from a few low polygon classic Lara skins. What is CD's problem with their reluctance to give modern Lara classic series outfits ?

    The story and writing had their ups and downs. The duo of the main villains come off as pretty generic and cliche, but a bit deeper they do reveal some depth, especially Konstantin's sister. The 'relatable' and 'real' approach to Lara's character still conflicts with what you see and experience, like in the 2013 reboot, she's forced to survive...again...in one moment, she's a 1 woman army at another, a melodramatic weeper the next. Maybe it's just me, but i think this 'humanization' attempt of Lara Croft just isnt working that well, instead Crystal D should just embrace her larger than life legacy as a character, Lara should be Lara, not an imitation of a Naughty Dog kind of a protagonist. The chase after the city of Kitezsh, the Divine Source and mystery behind the Prophet was handled pretty well atleast, and exploring Croft family's history was fun aswell, enhanced by the Blood Ties DLC. With the Baba Yaga DLC also being a worthy addition to campaign's narrative. The ending of the game however felt quite anti-climactic, the whole end game felt like it was redone from the 2013 game, as you were again climbing a towering structure to reach the end boss and waves of goons. One of the better narrative aspects were the side stories and lore discovered through collectible documents, recordings and artefacts, they added a good amount of depth to the world building. Though it was weird how those documents and recordings just lay out in the open, some managing to survice for hundreds of years in less than optimal climate.

    Good game overall.    … Expand

Разочаровывает в современных игроках - дай им красивую игру, но с хуёвыми механиками, с отвратными и банальными сюжетом и персонажами, с никакущей атмосферой - схавают! Ведь все игру хвалят, а разобраться, углубиться в игру и понять, что это конвеерное говно, на которое не стоит внимания обращать - не дано. Не могу сказать, что игра прямо-таки ужасная, скорее просто проходняк на 5/10 баллов и тратить время на её прохождение я бы не советовал. В первую часть переиздания серии я играл чуть ли не на старте её выхода, и она мне не понравилась - нудное скалолазание, "ведьмаковское зрение", или как там аналог его называют (одна из самых нудных и херовых механик во всей игровой индустрии), тупой тир, прокачка так себе, неинтересные головоломки, банальный сюжет и стереотипные персонажи. И угадайте что? Все минусы, что я перечислил, перекочевали и во вторую часть! Только ещё и стелс в кустах добавили (всё же не помню, был ли он уже в первой части)! Бл*ть, почему вы решили, что это хорошая идея вставлять этот сраный стелс из ассасина н***й третьего? Это худший стелс во всей игровой индустрии! Ну и совсем немного ввели новые, на мой взгляд неплохие нововведения - крафт аптечек, бомб, стрел на месте, небольшое разнообразие в перемещении. Но в целом, игра осталось старой, и неудивительно, ведь разница в датах выхода между первой и второй частью всего 2 года! Чисто физически нельзя было сделать не конвеерную часть. Тем не менее графически игра сильно выросла - смотреть на игру достаточно приятно, только вот в игру играть надо, а не смотреть. Ну и требования к железу, конечно, очень сильно выросли. Про сюжет и говорить не хочется - тупая банальность. Мне почти во всех играх насрать на сюжет, но всё же слушать какие-то банальные, хотя я бы даже сказал детские диалоги - вызывает у меня лишь кринж, так что я тупо пропускал большую часть. Музыка в игре не запоминающаяся и не выдающаяся, но и не нервирует особо, атмосферы толком нет, в общем почти всё в этой игре плохо.… Expand

    A decent tomb raider reboot sequel. The graphics is good. Game-play was enjoyable, but nothing new actually. Same game mechanics, voice acting was off, and mediocre plot. The last boss-fight was also underwhelming despite being played in the highest difficulty.

    – Shallow characters with repetitive and uninteresting dialogues.
    – The game leads a bit by the hand, where the puzzles (so far) are quite simple or of medium difficulty.
    – Mediocre soundtrack (music is easy to forget, ambient sounds are only decent)
    – Too many and sometimes too long cutscenes. Combined with numb dubbing and boring dialogues, they become extremely tedious.
    – The plot is unfortunately not engrossing whatsoever.

    One of the best intro sequences of any game, coupled with the good graphics make it worth checking out, until it turns into a cover based shooter (I would give it a 9 or 10 until after encountering the bear, but the rest is not really my cup of tea). It also has at least one likeable character, Jonah. All in all it's one step forward two steps back compared to the previous
