    This is a very entertaining game, story is very good and graphics are outstanding. the only think I would say was a down for this game is that you need to go back to missions complete 100% of the game because you don't have the necessary gear.

    Recomiendo mucho más el Tomb Raider 2013 que este, la razón? simple, FANSERVICE. si en la primera entrega teníamos una Lara con polerita y pantalones sexys, en este juego Lara está toda tapada por encontrarse en siberia, pfff debieron hacer el juego ambientado en alguna selva tropical no?

    ..... Ya ahora sí, Rise of the Tomb Raider es la secuela indicada del Tomb Raider, siendo el mismo espíritu que su predecesor pero mejorado en cada aspecto.
    La trama es bueno es simple pero efectivam con algunas sorpresas argumentales bien predecibles, pero por alguna razón no las vi venir.
    Muy buenas gráficas y animaciones. Ahora se le da mucha más importancia al crafteo, eso es genial, puedes hacer flechas, crear munición especial, bombas molotov, bombas de humo, muy buen aspecto del juego. Y además tendrás varias tipos de armas para elegir en cada categoría (diferentes arcos, diferentes pistolas, etc)

    El sistema de cazar animales lo encontré mucho más práctico que en el primero.
    El juego es más largo porque ahora tendrás misiones secundariasm el "mundo" es más grande y la trama pricipal creo que también es un poco más extensa.
    Nuevamente encontrarás tumbas por ser saqueadas, pero ahora es más interesante porque aprenderás habiliades en ellas (ninguna es necesaria para acabar el juego, pero sirven), eso si, los puzzles siguen siendo muy simples si se comparan a los antiguos TR.
    El final boss fue bastante normalito, me gustó más el del anterior.

    Bueno en síntesis este es un juegazo, es como jugar al anterior, pero mejorado en todo. Me gustaría que para una tercera entrega sea una especie de sandbox, sería increible y una trama y ambientación algo más oscura.

    WOW! JUST WOW!!! Those environments are absolutely STUNNING!! You could spend hours just wondering at the majesty of everything around you.

    Unlike everyone else complaining about the story being linear though....what do they think Mass Effect, Black Ops, Dead Space, Doom, Uncharted, Halo, and almost every other game like this is? LINEAR!! It is a story based game because there is a story to tell! You don't get to choose how the story goes...you want that, go back to playing Knights of the Old Republic..

    This game brought new twists into the game play while keeping it as similar as possible as the previous game so as not to confuse the hell out of everyone by having to remap entire control systems (looking DIRECTLY at you Assassin's Creed). Adding in the ability to craft ammo and grenades on the fly was extremely smart and made sense in the greater scheme.

    Truly the only thing I ever dreaded were QTE's...which thankfully were eliminated for the most part unless you got careless and let a wolf or bear get on top of you. Otherwise, everything about this game is just solid from top to bottom.

    Rewards are nice too...like all the interesting outfits that came with stat bonuses, and multiple types of weapons in each class to get and upgrade. Most people still focused on the bow, while I still loved my assault rifle oh so very much.

    Overall, this is a great game you can definitely play many times to see how many ways you can beat the game, go for all the achievements, or be a completionist like me and try to get all treasures, relics, and story related items to 100% on the first go.

    I know I played the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider for months over and over, and I don't see this being any different.    … Expand

    one of the best game i have ever played it has many things to do or explore, i dunno why many people have problems with the game it runs well for me on my two laptops, so i think people should look if their computer can run the game.

    Instead of taking risks Crystal Dynamics instead decided to further polish and perfect the formula from Tomb Raider (2013), with incredible graphics, great voice acting and polished gameplay the game definitely is definitely worth trying out. If you really enjoyed the first game you will like this game just as much if not more.

    This game is very good. The main story is what we expect of a Tomb Raider. New mechanics, accessories, and equipment have added many possibilities to the gameplay.
    DLCs are great and very well written.
    New game modes have also enriched the game and keep several players active.

    So much better than the reboot, but also very disconnected from the reboot.
    The end of the game is stupidly fast.

    Un excelente Juego, con escenarios hermosos que te dejan impresionado. Cuenta con una historia sólida que te atrapa y una gran cantidad de secretos que te invita a explorar los mapas bien trabajados. El combate se puede tornar monotono.

    Story is even better, with semi-open maps and great visuals.

    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.

    A great game with a good story, beautiful graphics and fun gameplay, It falls a bit too long in some parts with some underdeveloped characters and not always fun passages but overall it was a fun experience.

    8.5/10. What an amazing improvement since the 2013 reboot. Honestly, this game makes the first entry look like a little project to greenlight something much bigger. And it is SO much bigger. Tons of guns to unlock, new movement or fighting mechanic introduced every few cutscenes, extended skill tree, and plethora of things to collect.

Honestly, this game makes the first entry look like a little project to greenlight something much bigger. And it is SO much bigger. Tons of guns to unlock, new movement or fighting mechanic introduced every few cutscenes, extended skill tree, and plethora of things to collect. The scope of the things to do in this game seems enormous. Of course, it has its downsides, as some of the collectibles and activities seemed rather unnecessary.
    Let me tell you, one thing this game definitely stands out with is the environmental design. Every new area you enter is a treat to the eye, every landscape is colossal, dramatic, and has its own idea. Same goes for the tombs you can enter - while in the 2013 reboot every tomb looked sort of the same, this time, each time you encounter a tomb is an opportunity to gaze at the massive work done by the artists.
    If you want to play any of the new Tomb Raiders, just skip the first one and play this, trust me.

    + beautifully designed landscapes
    + plenty of collectibles and things to do
    + more tombs with each having its own idea
    + characters and writing done better this time...

    - ...but the story is still a little bland...
    - ...and a bit dragged out in the middle
    - sometimes - too much collectibles
    - if you're an achievement hunter, good luck, there's an achievement for virtually every thing you can do in this game, not all of which are that fun, a total of 143.    … Expand

    Even better than Uncharted.

    Positives: - tons of fun ways to climb and parkour - linear gameplay, but had branching paths to make it not feel claustrophobic - stealth gameplay is done well - dialogue and characters were well scripted - upgrade system was straight forward. Not too complicated, which keeps the pace of the action. - really like Laura's character Negatives: -    Even better than Uncharted.

    I have to admit, RotTR is even better than Tomb Raider 2013.
    The story is more engaging, better developed characters in my opinion. Lara looks even better than in previous game, even if it is the same face model. Combat is great. There are more weapons to use and outfits with different effects to wear.

    I heard, Rise has a lot of shootouts and enemy killing during story but after finishing it I think it has a bit too much action for my taste and it's lacking more puzzles.
    Also it has worse optimization for PC because I had a few random FPS drops sometimes during gameplay.

    A game with a good plot and characters! Graphics can match modern games in terms of uniformity. And for its time, the game is just fine. Nevertheless, there are illogical moments in the game. But all games have bugs.
