    If you are looking for an awesome adventure game this is it. Critics may dislike it because it's linear, but that doesn't stop this from being a great game. The game's graphics are simply beautiful and add so much to the atmosphere of the game. The game mechanics are similar to that of assassins creed, but none of the moves are difficult to master.

    Awesome mechanic combined from Assassins Creed 3 and Mirrors Edge. Awesome puzzle like Prince of Persia Series. Awesome QTE like Resident Evil Series. Awesome details, especially in hair. Awesome voice actor for the documents like Metro Series and Dead Island. Awesome face expression. You have all in one package, Tomb Raider!!

    In a world where grind and meaningless slaughter is ke, Tomb Raider is a bit of fresh air. It has a deeply immersive atmosphere, beautiful scenery and the kind of story that gives meaning to your every action to such an extent that it is easy to feel alongside Lara the urge to survive.

    First of all, don't know why everyone's complaining about the QTEs. Outside of the intro I found them varied and sparse. Even in the intro I thought they were tastefully done.

    But regardless, this is probably one of the best games I've played in a really long time.

    Pros: Strong lead w/ good voice acting, absolutely stunning visuals (on PC anyways), tight fluid controls, and great animations. Story is a tad predictable but good and engaging nonetheless. Very well done combat. Every weapon has it's situation and later in the game you'll be switching weapons on the fly to overcome the fights. One especially nice moment was after you get your grenade launcher, something Lara yells at the enemies made me smile so much.

    I can't get over how well Lara handles animation wise. It's just so... meaty and well done.

    No game is without it's flaws so

    Cons:
    Some of the voice acting is a little bland, but not enough to take you out of the moment. Outside of the journals I wasn't very compelled to grab the collectables. It is a little funny to hear Lara's nerdy gushing over an ancient artifact in the middle of a gunfight though. Half of the game is on the rails w/ some exploration thrown in there. That might be a con or a pro depending on the person. Regardless it was tastefully done, and the optional tombs more than made up for the more scripted moments.

    If you like action games it's a must buy. At the risk of pissing off some fanboys, it's like Uncharted, but better.    … Expand

    Tomb Raider it's the best game I ever played and I play many games. It has stunning graphics, one of the best campains/story line ever, very good gameplay, and the best of all is when you finish the game prety much free rom and it has multiplayer what is awesome.

    Made an account on metacritic just to put this up here.
    This game has only two flaws - the game is a bit too easy, even on Hard difficulty I only died during battles if I played sloppy or was trying to do fancy kills.
    The second problem is - even if it's a long game but I wish it was longer! I enjoyed every single minute of it and afterwards I was left with a somewhat empty feeling. This    Made an account on metacritic just to put this up here.

    One of the best games of all time! For me, it is definately in the TOP 5. The only reason i don't give it exactly the No.1 rank, is i'm originally a strategy fan, and there is a Starcraft 2, and a Heroes of might and magic III, V, and the evergreen Warcraft III. As a TPS, it's No.1.

The story is just awesome the only thing that feels weird is that the "transformation" of Lara from innocent to what she becomes looks a bit too fast. The gameplay was good (in my first playthrough I only found a couple of bugs). The sound is one of the best things of the game, it almost makes you feel like you are there with Lara.
    The game is not long, but it will take you about 15 hours to complete (if you take at least some of the secondaries)

    I already played this game over a year ago, and when I decided to pick it up again two weeks ago I thought I was gonna get bored out of my skull doing the same thing over again. But I can't believe how hooked I got with it once I started playing: it feels even more amazing and interesting than the last time I tried it out.
    This is for sure the most engaging game I've played in a long while!

    Crazy good reboot with fantastic graphics and adventure. Nice mechanics and good feeling to the game with good story and the new Lara is hot and cool.

    Even if you are not a Tomb Raider fan or you fear that you are not good with puzzles then don't be afraid because this is a whole new Tomb Raider game and the pizzles are incredibly easy and there is more action and story than puzzles.

BUY IT!!! ADD IT TO YOUR FREAKING WISHLIST!!! And please just do me a favor and try reading what I've said below; it's not totally meaningless!!!

    I don't know how to start! It had been a long time since I sat down and played a game continuously for three days until it was finished; however, this game brought me back the experience of not being able to exit or minimize a game for up until its end and the taste of the good old gaming days!!! I'm a student right now and as a result, I don't have time to be a hardcore gamer (which I used to be!!!) but, I gave myself a bit of a break because I had just finished my exams. Now, I didn't expect to stick to my PC for three days but this game, the feel of it, its every bit of content didn't allow me to leave the damn chair! The main story line was exactly what you would expect from these kind of games; but the thing that kept me looking at the freaking screen was not that! It was the atmosphere, the events, the intensity and how fast everything happened! You'll feel like YOU are in there and YOU are trying to survive playing this game!!! I don't know how to make one of those pros/cons tables but I can give you this: "THIS GAME IS WORTH EVERY PENNY YOU PUT INTO IT!" And before I forget, I have to say that the graphics of this game look unbelievably gorgeous and have in your minds that this is being said by a person who has played Crysis 1,2&3, Witcher 1,2&3, Dragon age inquisition (and the others!) , Battlefield 3&4, many CODs!, the whole total war series (including Rome 2 and shogun!) and many others which I don't have in mind right now!!!!! I have used every way I know to tell you that this is a must buy for any gamer!!! There's a lot to say but to sum it up I have to say, JUST BUY IT or as Shia Labeouf puts it JUST DO IT!!!

It's a perfect example of what I call a quality video game. Gameplay and interactivity are superb. Even the cinematic moments are fantastic.

    Throughout the game, a sense of mystery with a hint of horror is kept. You get wonderful, heart pounding, dramatic and emotional ride all the way through. This game made me sweat and cry so many times. Lara has a fighting spirit that will deeply inspire you. It's all about an intimate struggle to survive.

    I must admit that the paranormal plot was not exactly to my taste, but it worked.

    I love Square Enix and all it's studios. This game is a marvelous reboot that made me a huge fan instantly. The old Tomb Raider games, before this one, were terrible!

    If you love action video games, don't waste any time on other popular titles. This is the game that will blow your mind and move you inside.

    I really hope that Rise Of The Tomb Raider will be better, but my expectations are way too high and impossible. We'll see.    … 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.
