    This is one of those games where you get so involved with the character and with the visuals surrounding it.

    The QTE's seriously bore me after 25 hours, the combat is laborious and the fighting sequences are lazily thrown together, Lara Croft isn't f******* Terminator, why am i fighting 100 people at once? Let me be stealthy, such a frustrating game.

    A dark and brutal tale of a lone survivor.
    This is a fascinating Tomb Raider origin story, even though I was never really interested in these games, I now consider myself a fan of the Tomb Raider franchise.
    The gameplay is very good, many tools to use and weaponry to unlock, combat is fast and fluid, climbing is fun and the puzzles are decent. The Tombs are cool for the most part but    A dark and brutal tale of a lone survivor.

    The Tombs are cool for the most part but unfortunately there aren't many of them. However, there are some open world elements, you can explore the island for secrets and collectibles, which I enjoyed.

    Now the plot, it's just mediocre. It has some fantastic action-oriented moments, but for most of the time I didn't find myself attached to the story or the characters, and I didn't like the main villain.

    Also there are way too many Quick Time Events, and combined with the linear main story, there's no replay-ability, some sections are straight up exhausting to go through.

    Lara Croft carries this game, she is a great female protagonist and goes though some messed up things, and she's easily the highlight of the game.

    Final Rating: "Good" ~ 7/10.    … Expand

    É um jogo divertido, mas é muito repetitivo, uma carência enorme de diversidade de inimigos e a história parece ser muito jogada, tudo acontece muito rápido e os personagens parecem lidar muito bem com isso. A gameplay é muito boa e os gráficos são muito bonitos!

    Tomb Raider was born

    I've played this game several times for two things - I like Tomb Raider and ... I never get to the end of the game untill 2022. So, I want to higlight in this essay why I like and hate this game. Visual (6/10) Picture was great fo 2013, nowadays it seems a bit plain, but still good. Why 6 than ? A LOT OF BUGS. I've experienced different bugs in each walkthrough,    Tomb Raider was born

    I've played this game several times for two things - I like Tomb Raider and ... I never get to the end of the game untill 2022. So, I want to higlight in this essay why I like and hate this game.

    Visual (6/10)
    Picture was great fo 2013, nowadays it seems a bit plain, but still good. Why 6 than ? A LOT OF BUGS. I've experienced different bugs in each walkthrough, even now in 2022 they have not fixed major bugs in tombs. It's a game about tomb raider c'mon why you tombs are not working, why hitboxes are so broken and most annoying - strange camera shakes in cut scenes. I honestly checked different settings like vsync and still get this shakes. I get them in 2013, so they are in 2022. Maybe it's only on PC version only, but that was the main point why I've finished this game only now. Music is pretty average, I don't even know what to say. It's just exists somewhere on background. Lara's voice acting is good. Inetrface is a bit archaic as for 2022 and simplifyed, on the other hand it's just a linear single player game - only thing you need - just play.

    Gameplay (5/10)
    This is the singleplayer linear game with main story only - tha main game play is just run through levels. I like the idea to load levels while you climbing through the hole in a cave and than see new location that's good, but atfer the mid game - only thing you do is backtracking. In linear game... It was awfull, another thing why I haven't finished it first time. I've lost the whole tomb raider atmosphere when Lara starts to do every deal for the team in the same location. You have new equpment, so it's supposed that you would like to go back and test it.... but for what? another scrap bag? I don't think so, espesially if you kill all enemies each time and loot them for this scrap. Tombs are interesting, but so tiny and only few of them well designed. Not very interesting. I really like first few hours of the game, and in fact it's really the most entertaining part

    Story (7/10)
    I like the story, it's a mix of mysterios island and asian culture it's intriguing, but at the end it feels a bit decent ending, also they missed so many interesting things they can do with oni guards and make them just an ordinary enemies. Characters - decent, just here to be rescued by Lara and a bit involve on her development like a character. On the other hand Lara in this game is very interesting, she really changes till the end, get some iconic moments and ending prase - survivior was born feels like best ending for intro part of Tomb Raider new franchize. I like that developers understand they need to prepare good dramatic story for action adventures, so they can sucessfully compete with uncharted and last of us franchize.

    All in all, I like the game, and espesially the fact they release PC version in 2013 so everyone can enjoy the game, I like the rebranding of **** cause developers chose right way, but in other aspects it is a decent game with bugs and backtracking in the end. After completion the game I fully understand myself in 2013 and why I have not finished it, so it's up to you - play or not. You can easily pick up the game for free in EGS weekly giveaways and check.    … Expand

    Recently I started playing the new edition of Tomb Raider from 2013, and I need to say that it felt much better than it did when I experienced it for the first time in 2014 on my old PC, that I was sharing with my brother.

Back then I didn’t finish the game, but a few days ago I was bored and wanted to play some nostalgic video games. I was looking through my games on Epic games (Of course I did not pay for any of those games, it was free). Then I found Tomb Raider and my first thought was “Naah I don’t want to play these boring Lara Croft games” I didn’t like it a few years ago so why should I play it now, I asked myself. I played this game for 4 straight hours that day. And now, after finishing it, I want to share my opinion with you guys.

    Full review on my blog:) Hope you like it.

    Uncharted'lar kadar karakterleri kendisine bağlamasa da hikayesi pek derin olmasa da eğlenceli bir oyundu. Platform ve puzzle bölümleri dönemine göre fena değildi. Aksiyonu, sürekli yenilenen silahlarıyla beni Uncharted'lardan daha çok tatmin etti diyebilirim. 1-2 tane boss saavaşı vardı ama pek heyecan verici ya da zorlayıcı değillerdi.

    Удачный пример "мягкого" перезапуска франшизы с хорошими вытекающими. В случае с Tomb Raider разрабам трудно было прогадать в вопросе "чего же хотят игроки?". Очевидно, больше приключений, древних гробниц, загадок и море кадров с мокрой Ларой Крофт. Тут и постановка голливудская подъехала (скорее, с оглядкой на Uncharted) и история улучшилась став более комплексной и интересной (например,Удачный пример "мягкого" перезапуска франшизы с хорошими вытекающими.

    This genre is typically just not for me. I was in the mood for a game where I could solve a couple puzzles and shoot a couple bad guys and this game gave me that in a nice 10 hour package. I would say it was average in every way, it was a worthwhile experience, but not one I will likely ever return to.

    I have one-hundred hours in "Tomb Raider: This time we'll get it right," also known as the 2013 reboot to the ill-fated, but coincidentally long running Tomb Raider franchise starring the titular, or somewhat below average titular, Lara Croft. Now that many hours tells you two things, A. I benchmarked this game a lot, and B. Probably spent time just visually enjoying the game. Even overI have one-hundred hours in "Tomb Raider: This time we'll get it right," also known as the 2013 reboot to the ill-fated, but coincidentally long running Tomb Raider franchise starring the titular, or somewhat below average titular, Lara Croft. Now that many hours tells you two things, A. I benchmarked this game a lot, and B. Probably spent time just visually enjoying the game. Even over ten years later, it is a very pretty game, not perfect around every edge, asset or character render or facial animation, but its decidedly very pretty to look at. It also has a very professional soundtrack, some pretty hilarious voice acting that is functional, but perhaps doesn't quite line up with the low quality writing.

    In this pre-Lara, pre-adventure that has nothing to do with other third-person action games at the time, nor is it some kind of bizarre fetish murder simulator with gruesome male (as well as female) death sequences, you explore the origins of Lara Croft as a character or something. I don't remember. The story is all over the place, inconsequential, bad, and is some sort of TV's "Lost" meets the "Uncharted" game series meets "Indiana Jones, but just "Temple of Doom" and theirs also something in there about an ancient Japanese sorceress or whatever. Me personally? I couldn't tell you one thing that happens in the story. Some characters show up, sometimes they aren't there, Lara's looking for her girlfriend probably, theirs like two actual boss fights, theirs a boss fight that isn't even a major character that's reduced to a quick-time event twenty minutes into the game and I guess- oh- I guess their are some "tombs" to walk around or discover.

    The Tomb raider series is pretty old, so its not like people didn't see the eventual homogenization of their beloved dear schmoopsy-poo Lara Croft being turned into whatever fried food equivalent that sold well before everyone's doctor started to warn them about potential health complications from eating said particular fried food. The point is that it was always going to attempt to be mainstream, I just never thought a mainstream game would get away with obvious Ryona scenes, references to "Faster, **** Kill! Kill!," and attempts to portray itself as deeply serious in every unbelievably awful scene where Lara "cardboard cutout" Croft can speak to some bland minor character we know nothing about for five minutes about where the plot is going because we sure as heck as the audience don't know and theirs no real reason to care either.

    The fact that so much of the game is reliant on these stupidly obvious, repetitive and insultingly thick confrontations ala third-person shooter accompanied by all manner of chest-high walls, should tell you everything that was on the developers mind's when they crafting this nonsense. Lara, a 130 l.b. (going off Anniversary editions established weight) five foot six inch scrawny looking white girl upper body can magically derive the strength to pull a bow string so far back, that it delivers enough force for the arrow to literally pierce a human skull all the way through. Which is comical in this game no matter how many times I see it, but that doesn't change how utterly ridiculous it is. So its not surprising that combat is a chore against brainless combatants (all men) who are murdered for so much as farting or belching in Lara's general direction, whose motivations are so vague they could actually be extremely aggressive salesmen and Lara would still create an excuse to blow their kneecaps off. Only four weapons are available on an Island somehow armed to the teeth with military grade rifles, pistols, explosives, Molotov cocktails, sub-machines guns, and lets not forget gun turrets. Can't have a good action set piece without a large gun turret shooting at your protagonist.

    So is Lara Croft John Rambo? It would make a lot of sense. Ultimately the things that happen in "Lara Croft Murder adventures: Tombs are only the beginning" merely happen because the writers need an action set piece to push the story forward. Lara falls at the beginning of the game onto a particularly pointy piece of metal, its a silly sequence where you must mash a contextual button prompt in order to pull a long rusty steel rebar out of her pelvic region (if only most girls were this easy). It bares mention that she seeks no medical aid after dislodging the object, and takes a little swim in "godknowswhat" jungle water with no repercussions. Ironically, she later is "injured" after this wound FINALLY gets worse, and she has to cauterize it, a scene the game shy's away from showing even with fairly realistic violence against men by firearm or bow and arrow.

    When you boil it down, Tomb Raider 2013 is a desperate derivative. Its fundamentally pointless. It lacks a narrative structure that cannot progress without some elaborate set piece from an action movie. In summary, it represents everything wrong with modern videogames.    … Expand

    While not every promising idea Tomb Raider has is pulled off successfully, it nevertheless turns in a tense and memorable ride that combines modern game design with its forebears’ adventurous spirit in some exciting ways. Some of its missteps may well come at the cost of your enjoyment, but most can’t hope to hurt the adventure in the long run. Although it never fully finds its identity, this is a game and a story worth seeing through.
