    Even better than the first one! Love how they focused more on the stealth aspect in fact outside a few forced combat situations I managed to stealth my way through the whole game.

    It's the best game in the reboot trilogy, after playing them all it's safe to say Rise is the most fun game out of all. Most content, DLC's. I liked expeditions and cards so much, shame they didn't return in Shadow. Good story, fun gameplay. Comparable to 2013 game but even better.

    – Dubbing is numb (except Lara Croft).
    – 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.

    While I think Tomb Raider 1 had the stronger storyline, Rise of the Tomb Raider improves on every other aspect of this series. The gameplay, graphics, UI, etc, have all improved. It's a good entry to the series and very fun to play.

    I gave a 10/10 to tomb raider 9 (2013), but I am really disappointed with the successor. Ths graphics is still top level. Plot and storytelling is good. The biggest issue is the bugs. I encounter too many bugs during the game play, some of them is very annoying, especially the Baba Yaga boss fight bug. It wasted me about 30 minutes to find out that it was actually a bug.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Graphically one of the most impressive games I've ever seen. You'll need a pretty high end rig to enjoy max settings. The platforming is phenomenal as well as the stealth combat however the gunplay becomes exhausting near the end when you just fight hordes of enemies. That's when the game is at its weakest. I'm a big fan overall though and it's one of the few games I've beaten this year.… Expand

The new thing is they added some hubs where you can do few side quests and its not bad. Still a good game, plot is ok.

Доп. квесты это тупо пойди, принеси, убей, интерес вызывает ток DLC с Бабой Ягой, но опять же, это не совсем доп. квест, это полноценное DLC, за доп. плату. Графоний отменный, все красиво, локации нарисованы классно,лица персонажей и анимации сделаны тоже сносно, вопросов к технической составляющей минимум. Боевка в игре скорее плохая, чем хорошая, оружие деревянное, стрелять неудобно, деревянно, крафтить взрывчатку и сейвить в рюкзак как в нормальных играх нельзя, вместо этого на поле боя валяются бутылки из которых Лара за 2 секунды делает молики, либо взрывчатку, тру стори. ИИ супер тупой, стелс в игре реализован, как говно, антагонист говно, охота скучна, да и в целом не нужна. Еще о нелепости сюжета: противники брали в плен нашего лучшего друга Иону раз 200, но ни разу не удосужились его прикончить, даже не попытались, тру стори. Экш сцены сделаны в целом нормально, не сказать, что отлично, но приемлимо. Некоторые персонажи в целом прописаны неплохо и им вполне себе сопереживаешь, даже удивительно, что Прачетт в данном аспекте не обосралась. Паркур и головоломки выполнены качественно, хоть Ларка иногда и тупит и прыгает не совсем туда, куда ты ее направляешь, из-за этого ты просто умираешь на ровном месте, что очень раздражает на максимальной сложности, благо у меня это случалось всего раза 2-3. Так же в игре очень нелепо решили приплести коммунистов, а точнее злых, бесчеловечных тварей-извергов, которые убивают людей и уводят детей просто потому что. Сибирь показана странно и не реалистично. Во время чтения фресок Ларка говорит совсем не то, что на них написано) Например, на фреске написано " Здесь был Леха", а Ларка прочтет это и скажет : "Здесь описывается путь к гробнице", ну очень нелепо, просто поленились сделать нормально. Финальные сцены это вообще апогей аутизма, вертолет, который залетел в пещеру, нужно сбить, стреляя по горящим камням. То есть ты стреляешь в горящий камень, и огонь с этого камня перебрасывается на верт, и так раза 3, просто гениально, ничего не скажешь. Финального босса можно убить только активировав 2 скрипта) Я пробовал забить его палкой, ударив раз 50 наверное, но ему было максимально плевать на мои удары, зато на 2 скриптованных удара, он отреагировал, просто кошмар. В общем и целом, игра максимально уныла, и поиграть в нее можно исключительно ради Ларки, головоломок и красивой графики.… Expand

    Bought it on sale for small price but even don not want to play. Game is good for benchmarks but the plot and characters are piece of crap invented by specially invited Rhianna Pratchett. And I think all future games (even without Rhianna Pratchett) will also be with bad delusional plots so as not to approach Uncharted.

It also got to a point where, I don't know if it was a bug or not, but later on in the game it got very CPU heavy. CPU heavy to the point where the 'lowest' settings still made the game unplayable. Other than those core issues, the game is beautiful on High settings, I didn't push it for Ultra.

    While getting side-tracked, lost, dying, completing tombs and doing side quest missions/challenges, I finished the game with around 87% done in 21.4 hours of Steam playtime. So it will definitely give you your monies worth and at a sale price of $11.99, kinda hard to beat that.

    As a friendly tip, if you are an achievement hunter, I suggest you read and go through all the achievements. Because some of them require you to do them before you beat the game. Tomb Raider is one of those game series that I will always try to get 100% completion, I don't know why, it just feels good. I know for fact that I'll be hoping back into the game to get that 100% achievement. I personally can't wait to get "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" on sale and play that Tomb Raider next.

    One of the best games I've ever played. The graphics is awesome even on average system. Lara is really good looking - the character you really care about. Locations are much more diverse and less "dirty" than in the first part of the trilogy. Survival aspect is very immersive on high difficulty with lack of weapons and ammo. Would like the next Tomb Rider was as cool as this one.

    It is basically an updated version of it's predecessor - and that is not a bad news. Rise of the Tomb Raider corrects every bad aspect of Tomb Raider from 2013 and adds many new things. Locations are open, there are many easy side quests that can help players with leveling up and getting experience. Graphics also seem to be improved compared to the last instalment of the series.

    The intriguing beginning is replaced by boring puzzles, acrobatics and craft. The developers tried to combine the drive of the game in 2013 with the mechanics of the classic parts. As a result, the dynamics are no more, and the puzzles and acrobatics are rudimentary and not capable of generating interest.

    This game is not an adrenalin rush , not even close (unlike the first tomb raider in this series, which was quite good). Maybe for kids...or if you have a specific state of mind sensible to this. But overall It's too easy, by design; you don't even have to think which way to get somewhere or how when you're on a spring of jumps and climbs,    A step upwords as it is a step downwards.

But overall It's too easy, by design; you don't even have to think which way to get somewhere or how when you're on a spring of jumps and climbs, because everything is marked accordingly (you just have to remember what to use where).
    A very silly and naive implementation of bits of stories that you find through the world; cassette recorders that are somehow lost or left there by will..on rocks, in secluded corners, on tables...actually in many places that have no logic (all the more, the same person leaves recorders in different places...informing us of different thougths or state of mind. Am I to assume that all this characters carry a bag of recorders for short toughts?!)...again...for kids to believe. (We are not in the 90', the story and implementation has to be believable! Even if it's a fantasy). With the old scrolls it's more digestible to be in unexpected places...Anyways, this was a frustrating fact for me because it tells me a lot about the talent and mental capabilities of the game designers that were involved.
    The story is interesting but superficial.I couldn't connect emotionally to any of the characters...too little background and complexity.
    There is an overall sense of experimenting; this episode, and not the first in the series is the experiment. The world feels incomplete, not quite properly connected between the main story, the tombs, the exploration (open world), the scavenging and the forming identity of our protagonist.

The only few criticism I can mention are: you need a lot of backtracking if you like to complete everything and the story is very predictable. The pros far outweight these though and to me it is easy a 10/10, well made and genius.

Frequently discounts to around $12 during Steam sales, where it is worth buying for those who enjoyed the 2013 Tomb Raider game.

    Total size on my hard-drive: 25.2 GB (20th Anniversary Edition)

    + Homages to classic Tomb Raider games abound. Simple things like grapple points, ledges, even some tomb designs.
    + Voice acting is great from all involved.
    + Excellent level design makes exploring great fun.
    + The graphics. Some of the best that can be found, even now years later. Facial animations are similarly impressive.
    + Shooting mechanics movement animations are a near-perfect copy-paste of Tomb Raider (2013). Don’t fix what isn’t broken.
    + Good stealth mechanics, should you choose that approach.
    + Environment use in firefights. Explosive barrels and such are much more common than in the 2013 game.

    +/- Lara is just as breathless and emotional as in the first reboot game (from 2013). She learned nothing from her adventure on Yamati – except to be cool about killing tons of people.
    +/- Platforming challenges are overly simple.
    +/- Plenty of side-tombs. Each adds a different passive upgrade upon completion which cannot be obtained anywhere else. But each tomb has the SAME treasure (some sort of codex).
    +/- Hunting is a crucial part of the game for crafting upgrades and ammunition. Not a bad thing in itself, but sometimes it does feel like Lara is venturing into the wilderness just to slaughter tons of wild animals. (Assassin’s Creed III’s has a similar issue.)
    +/- Expeditions make an arcade game out of “wilderness survival.” There is Score Attack, Endurance (which has co-op), Chapter Replay (from the main campaign), and a few other modes. Match parameters can be modified with a number of different cards that can alter damage, available weapons, limit available ammunition etc. It feels like it was left over from a micro-transaction system. The Expeditions as a whole feel like the remnant of a cut multiplayer component. If you’re a fan of the combat it’s worth checking out, but otherwise it represents wasted development time.

    - Denuvo DRM.
    - Rise of the Tomb Raider is BRUTAL on hardware. You might think you’re fine, but then you arrive in Geothermal Valley... My RX 470 dropped to under 30 fps a few times @1080p Medium settings. No, the in-game benchmark is NOT representative of actual gameplay.
    - Lame story. There’s something about the secret to immortality, and some bad people want to find it, blah blah blah. The writers tried to link the secret with Lara’s father, but failed to set the story up properly, so when the “surprise” betrayal arrives (fairly early), it’s not enough to care about.
    - QuickTime Events return in a big way.
    - Too easy. Normal is a breeze. Experienced gamers should crank the difficulty from the outset.
    - Enemy AI is stupid. Equip a shotgun and have some patience; foot-soldiers will come to you, one by one.
    - Forced backtracking.
    - Dialogue can be incredibly cheesy, to the point of being cringe-worthy. It’s like they mined every common, over-done dramatic trope to try to sound serious. I wanted to skip large portions of some cutscenes, which is something I almost never do.
    - Music soundtrack is extremely disappointing, never rising above your average Hollywood action score. Classic Tomb Raider games had a different theme for every stage; Anniversary had a different set of themes for France, Egypt, Greece, etc. The music in Rise just smudges together a mass of repeated themes and re-used cues (some copied from the 2013 game). Very disappointing.
    - How many times can Lara run for a doorway / ledge / pool while the environment collapses around her? Too many.
    - Blood Ties DLC is a sad shell of what Croft Manor missions used to be. It is a walking sim, collecting documents and relics. No environment puzzles. No platforming challenges. No cool soundtrack.

    I was critical of the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot for being more of a third-person shooter than what I considered a proper Tomb Raider game. But despite the old-school flavor the devs added to Rise, at its core it is still a third-person shooter, with larger levels and more (optional) tombs. Then you add in the disappointing story, forced backtracking, and stupid AI and Rise of the Tomb Raider can’t break free of being boring but safe. Elevated by level design and exemplary graphics, it is an above average 6/10 that unfortunately is a “flavor of the week” sort of game; play it, have fun with it, then move on to something else.    … Expand

    This game isn't anything super new from the last one except the story and setting and ofc the graphics, the mechanics feels like they did in the last one which is a good thing if you were used to them and i quiet liked them. The story is kind of predictable but is fun and fairly easy.

    It doesn't take more than 15 minutes to find out that this game is much better than the prequel.

Everything ranging from the graphics (which are incredibly high quality) to a new form of gaining experience that's based on exploration rather than only killing enemies really makes this sequel shine.

    Rise maintained the look and feel of the original game and improved many features that gamers felt were underwhelming in the prequel. Sprinting is now available, making travelling long distances a lot less frustrating and removing the need to jump/strafe spam to travel faster.

    Rise doesn't follow the story of its prequel (aside from the reintroduction of one other character, but that isn't a big deal), which means that you don't need to play the prequel to understand this game. For fans of Square Enix's action games, stealth elements were added to this sequel, meaning combat has been improved and is a bit more satisfying to play as you can play stealthily instead of aggressively if you so desire.

    Unfortunately, some peeves I have are that the Poison and Explosive Arrows are overpowered (you'll know when you use them), and that a lot of features are unnecessary to beat the game or are unlocked at times when they are no longer useful. For example, the only reason why you explore the tombs is for the sake of beating them, not for the reward.

    Overall, I feel I enjoyed the game quite a bit and am happy to maintain my rating of 8 for its rather lengthy story. Rise has improved from its prequel, although its puzzles are still a bit too easy. I didn't bother with the Expedition or Endurance modes, unless they were one of the extra gameplay DLCs ( reviewed below).

    BABA YAGA DLC
    I like how this DLC was embedded into the main game, and was positioned rather early on in the story. It was actually quite challenging and had a nice story to it. I liked it quite a lot, so I'll give it a 8/10.

    COLD DARKNESS DLC
    This is only accessible on the main menu. It's a little map with two main objectives to complete. I recommend playing it on as hard as possible, and try not to die. Overall, this DLC was rather short, didn't contribute to the story, and was only moderately challenging, so I can only give it a 7/10.

    BLOOD TIES DLC
    This is an absolute treat, and completely redeems the game's lackluster puzzles for me. You explore Lara's estate in order to collect clues to crack the combinations to her father's safe as well as his secret vault. There is plenty of documents and relics all over the map, and it actually feels rewarding to find each one of them for the story. This DLC definitely gets a 10/10 out of me, as I always love having a mystery to solve.

    If you're trying to get full completion for Croft Manor, as long as you make sure to search everywhere, you will pretty much have everything found prior to the final cutscene. After that cutscene passes, you should check the study at the beginning and the cellar and secret vault to collect the rest.

    LARA'S NIGHTMARE DLC
    I thought this mode was kind of stale, but the eerie environment coupled with the difficulty of trying to aim on a controller made it somewhat challenging. The boss fight was incredibly underwhelming though. Overall, it was short, had no story, and didn't have a point to it, so I will give it a 6/10.    … Expand

    I do have some minor complaints, though: Extreme Survivor mode is extremely unforgiving, the first two levels where they TEACH YOU THE CONTROLS have ZERO save points. Missed that last jump? Enjoy starting back at the beginning, 15 minutes ago. Fortunately I got the hang of them pretty quickly, where the first level took me 5-7 tries, the second took me 3. I rarely missed jumps after that.

    Also Laura seems to get hurt in nearly every cut scene... only to walk it off within 15 seconds. C'mon.

    The crafting was fun, but pretty bare bones. Once you get the shotgun, none of the animals are even remotely challenging. To avoid being hit by the bear, the most dangerous animal, all you have to do is spam C and then shoot it repeatedly after it swings at you. Rinse and repeat.

    My last minor quibble is the character Jonah. He was incredibly annoying, but fortunately he's only there for the first and last bits.    … Expand

Some of the best realistic visuals I have seen - the spectacle really works. - Many gameplay improvements over the first game - better upgrades,    Completion: Finished game and Croft Manor on Seasoned Raider (hard) difficulty

    Pros:
    - All-around gorgeous visuals. Although some of the character models can look plastic at times, nearly everything other visual quality is excellent. Some of the best realistic visuals I have seen - the spectacle really works.
    - Many gameplay improvements over the first game - better upgrades, puzzles, platforming, and combat. Generally, playing the game is fun.
    - Some of the best platforming in this semi-open world third-person narrative-driven action-adventure genre. This is an awful name, but I'm including titles such as the Uncharted games, God of War (2018), The Last of Us, etc. In most of these games, climbing is simply something that has to be done and is largely difficult to fail. While the platforming in Rise of the Tomb Raider is still rather simple and difficulty to fail at, the number of different inputs and reflex-based QTEs make it more involved and overall a more engaging process.
    - Animal fights are interesting and bring an interesting direction for the series to expand in
    - Levels are generally well designed with gorgeous, believable visuals/layouts and multiple paths/hiding spots for the enemy encounters
    - Tombs are the best part of the game and actually offer fun, though not too challenging puzzles.
    - Lara feels a lot smoother to control and both combat/exploration are generally fun. Everything is smooth and flows well - I found it a great decision to not have regenerating health during battles on the higher difficulty modes - although this ends up being trivialized by how overpowered healing becomes with the right upgrades

    Cons:
    - The two more open areas actually detract from the narrative-driven nature of the game. Going around for all the collectibles is generally not fun - especially when there is so much ground to cover.
    - Too many meaningless checklists the game strings you along to doing
    - Although the game offers you more options in combat, it is never actually difficult enough to push you into using any of these new tools - such as the intriguing on-the-fly crafting that more or less never actually needs to be utilized
    - Too much hand holding when it comes to platforming and puzzles. Detective vision makes every puzzle boil down to interacting with all the highlighted objects
    - There are too many different types of collectibles and resources - crafting in this type of game should not be so tedious with having to constantly pick up so many different items off of the terrain. Although the addition of a few new resources would make sense, I find the use of a dozen (maybe more?) resources to be unnecessary and bogs the pace of the game down
    - The audio logs/letters slow down the pace of the game too much. Why not have them play while you go through the actual game such as in Bioshock? Seems pointless to sit there and read the entries when most of them are already voiced anyways
    - Story is a disaster. Countless plot holes and inconsistent characterization. The definite low point of this game for me. I found it difficult to care about anything that was happening. I cannot stress how forgettable and sometimes even bewilderingly bad the story was.

    Final Word:
    Although Rise of the Tomb Raider improves upon its predecessor in a number of different ways, especially in the actual moment-to-moment gameplay, the crafting, exploration, and story have all undergone changes that are ultimately for the worse. In this sense, while Rise of the Tomb Raider certainly has taken many steps forward from the original, it is ultimately for the worse, albeit slightly.

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.    … Expand

    It is what a Tomb Raider game should be: linear levels, lots of exploration and non stop action keeping the essence of the first games of the saga released in PS1; with added features like the possibility to upgrade skills and weapons. I enjoyed it very much, and the variety of secondary missions makes you want to complete it 100% which extends the lifetime of the game. Totally recommended.

    The second instalment in the rebooted Tomb Raider franchise. As with the first this one maintains a real high quality accompanied with an engaging and interesting story.

    The visuals are really nice - same is true for sounds and voice acting. It takes everything that it had going in the original reboot game and adds some more without breaking anything.

    The visuals are really nice - same is true for sounds and voice acting. It takes everything that it had going in the original reboot game and adds some more without breaking anything.

    The story is good and interesting. Nothing mind blowing but consistent and fitting the game very well. Lara is a bit more mature than in the previous game which is a good step up from the teen she was in the previous version. The story takes place for the most part in the mountainous region of Syberia with Lara on the quest to discover a lost city of Kitezh to in a way fulfil her fathers legacy in finding the city. On the way she gets tangled up with a mysterious organisation called trinity that's after pretty much the same thing.

    The game mechanics are quite the mixture - apart from standard climbing and otherwise traversing the obstacles you get an array of optional tombs, hunting, fighting, crafting, and resource gathering going on. While all of them are well executed - they do feel a bit disjointed from the main story line. There are times when although you should be going into certain spot quickly but you go explore optional tomb and for a while forget about the enemies that are pursuing your allies at the moment. This happens frequently enough to be a bother if you invest heavily in the story but still don't want to loose any of the additional content.

    I think the strongest part of the game are actually the optional tombs. The puzzles are interesting and it's the part mostly reminding the old tomb raiders. The whole crafting and resource gathering does seem a bit unnecessary. The fighting although sometimes forced is pretty well executed. There's also plenty of chances to take a stealthy approach which is very nice.

    Overall it's a very good game. As close as you can probably get to Uncharted series on PC. And definitely worth picking up.    … Expand

    Good for keeping your mind busy for couple hours. Do not expect too much. Very predictable story, same secrets with even same shiny effects, mediocre level designs, uninteresting story... So as I said, if you feel bad and you need distractions it is a good choice. If you don't, then spend your precious hours to more deserving title.

One drawback to visual quality is that there is a lot of aliasing and no sensible way to remove it, also distant landscape is sometimes not that good. Gameplay wise the game is good for the most part. It is a mix of everything - exploring, puzzles, action, arcade elements, combat, stealth, gathering materials. Especially those action-arcade elements when you are escaping from somewhere can be epic. Unfortunately devs tried to make the game too flashy, some crazy jumps or fighting 20 enemies at once is not really doing anything good for this game, it is only making it look cheap. Generally a good game with very impressive visuals, all the gameplay mechanics are also very good and well thought, but some things like those mentioned above are just ridiculous. Could be better with some adjustments, but game remains engaging and impressive for the most part and has many strong points, I would give it 8.5 if there was an option, but since there is no, very solid 8.… Expand

    I think this one is a bit better than the first game. It's fun, the graphics are pretty good even though my PC is a bit old. The story could have been better, hopefully they improve that with the next game. It's a solid game with a mediocre plot.

    It's boring. It's really just the same game as the last one. Wondering around collecting resources and working out how to do the same old puzzles. I've got a few hours into it and I just don't find the repetitive nature fun. I scored it a few points because the graphics took a leap forward. I like direct x12. Visually, it's nice. Graphics will only get you so far.

    Fall from great heights simulator. But seriously, this game has some great animations, great acting and great action. The graphics are also very impressive. The thing i did not very much enjoy was the cliffhanger ending. But now I'm hyped for the next game in this series. Hope it doesn't take too long.

    I finished the game.

    Rope sound is not looped, if you are sliding on a long rope you hear that the sound starts over

    At the end of the campaign some soldiers were bugged (the basic stance while they were meant to climb on wall). After 10 months of the release date? Come on :)

    The story did not get to me still. Uncharted FTW. Visuals and sounds (beside bugs) on the other side are amazing. Optimization is great so the performance was all the time 60 FPS with almost max settings @ FullHD.
