    Just excellent all around. Great graphics and just absolutely love the gameplay and the story line. Hopefully they keep creating these

    Excellent gameplay, engaging story, brilliant atmosphere and looks gorgeous. 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.

    If you're reading this, I have to state this!!! Because every people complaining about the optimization of the game actually forced the card way beyond it could handle. The game is greatly optimized, but entitled and spoiled people just set the graphics in max, because their ego-graphic-card that think can set all games to max settings. But this game is pretty heavy, so... remember!If you're reading this, I have to state this!!!

The game is greatly optimized, but entitled and spoiled people just set the graphics in max, because their ego-graphic-card that think can set all games to max settings. But this game is pretty heavy, so... remember!

    Very high textures = 8GB VRAM (It was meant just for Titan X and 4k res)
    High textures = 4GB VRAM
    Medium textures = 2GB VRAM

    If you use more than you card could handle of course it would freeze a lot.
    And don't use SSAA anti-alias!! Use SMAA.

    Now you can forget the fear of this game not being optimized. When in fact is greatly optimized.
    The game is absolutely gorgeous, fun, great. I'm not reviewing just to repeat what other people said. I hope this instructions can help you to play the game and have a blast. :)    … Expand

    Amazing, if you liked 2013 tomb raider then don't hold back on this one, it makes the old one seem **** even though I loved it and it's a great port no problems for me so far

    Not a perfect Tomb Raider for me, but definitely much better than the last one. For me, more puzzles and tombs and it would be the perfect Tomb Raider. I hope the next one will continue this good evolution, and will be more like the old Tomb Raider.

    Amazing game. Smooth, varied gameplay. Hugely entertaining shootouts. Fun puzzles at the tombs. Amazing graphics. Pretty good story and mythology. An open world worth exploring. It's one for the best action games ever made

    I like the Game VERY MUCH.

    Not only it looks outstanding. It was a fun experience with an okay-good story. I also really enjoy the DLCs especially endurance mode, which kept you for a bit longer than the actual game

    Шикарно, просто шикарно! Лара Крофт опять в деле, гробницы, берегитесь!
    Игровой процесс в целом тот же, что и в игре 2013 года, и это хорошо. Немного напрягает только постоянно рушащиеся пещеры и т.д., всего должно быть в меру. Графика явно удалась, очень приятная. 10 Крофтов из 10!    Шикарно, просто шикарно! Лара Крофт опять в деле, гробницы, берегитесь!

    This was very good. It had an excellent story line. Laura Croft seemed like a real person. The environments were beautiful and detailed. Some people may not like all the climbing and jumping though and may be tempted to refer to it as a "climbing simulator". What makes this better than The Witcher 3 is that they did to try to make a giant open world game that takes 200 hours to complete. IThis was very good. It had an excellent story line.

    This game is absolutely stunningly beautiful. It follows the tomb raider reboot story and adds additional elements to it. More tombs, crafting, stealth, hunting, healing, and additional combat elements that all make this game more compelling than the reboot. The game is longer and the story is better IMO as well.

I was immediately hooked to this game until completing the story. I think the visuals this game displays are above all at this time and I was able to use the highest textures with just a 280x. The only downside is at the moment the soviet installation area is a bit choppy compared to other areas and hopefully this improves as optimizations/ updates come out.

    Overall a 10/10 and had a blast playing this. Can't wait for the next game, where they hopefully add more elements to the gameplay from the original games as well as more complicated puzzles.    … Expand

    Best graphics I've seen in a game to date! I have a GTX 970, intel i5 4690K, 16GB Ram, Windows 10. Runs perfect at 1080P, and I recommend to anyone and everyone who likes action adventure games.
    The use of in-engine cut-scenes reminds me of God of War 3 :)

    Easily one of the best games ever made hands down. Graphics, story, tombs, gameplay, the action, mechanics, puzzles, the open world feel and seeing lara croft go through hell again. Buy this game immediately.

And this time the tombs had a purpose unlike the previous installment of the game where only completionists would do them. This game rewards the players who want to adventure and explore, that is one of the things that i love about this game. Near the end it gets very intense and in the final stage you feel like you are in a Assassin's Creed game witch i absolutely loved. The Baba Yaga DLC is very fun and has a interesting ending. Overall great game, game-play, music, features, perfect optimization, compelling story and very lovable and likable characters!

    Pros:Awesome game-play and story. Superb graphics, Challenging tombs and crypts. Weapon and skill upgrades and resources add replay value.
    Cons:Lag spikes and Frame drops on Highest settings and dual GPU setups. Some challenge quests are hard to find and not really rewarding.

    This game is incredible. If you enjoyed the last one you'll enjoy this one without a doubt. I had expectations for the reboot and it blew me away, and high expectations for this one which was exceeded. Only gripes I had were some story elements (No spoiler, but important events happened at all too convenient times) and minor wonkiness with some controls.

Graphics incredible, gameplay engaging, but what Square Enix does best in both games is the progression urgency and action. Casual combat becomes more and more serious with each mission until your practically standing while playing the last mission. great freaking game… Expand

    this is a true next gen experience, it has incredible graphics great combat and good story and of course a big open world to explore so whats not to like ?

    i am playing with a gtx 980 ti xtreme gaming , i7 4790k , 16gb ram and the performance are not perfect (need a patch) but it is playable its a little unstable (47-70 fps) on my rig on the higest settings. i think this game is    this is a true next gen experience, it has incredible graphics great combat and good story and of course a big open world to explore so whats not to like ?

    As a massive fan of the Tomb Raider reboot I was worried that this would not live up to my expectations but those fears were soon wiped away. The game is beautiful. The gameplay is great. The storyline is interesting and held my focus throughout. 100% recommended.

    Lara Croft's latest adventure represents some of the best platforming in 3D you can get. A paradoxical mix of brutal reality and crazy Indiana Jones action.
