    Even though many will say this is a Uncharted rip off, it is really well executed. It changes the classical gameplay to a more Uncharted/Resident Evil type, but keep the climbing Lara must do, maintaining that Tomb Raider feel.

    I'd break it down this way:

    Audio: 8

    About as much of a gaming experience as the original Dragons Lair for Amiga. Mostly a bunch of quick time events is used to let you do things and the camera is locked. Seems like they really rather wanted to make another Tomb Raider movie, but were forced to make a "game".

    Visually stunning and great concept that fell through on execution. The characters are flat, the control and camera angles are pretty poor. It's not so much as you're playing a game as trying to navigate through a poorly designed mini game in between cut scenes.

    Never liked the franchise, never played a Tomb Raider before and some friends recommended this to me.
    What an experience! This is a really good game!!!!! Story amazing, graphics really nice, good mechanics, good puzzles with the right difficulty and a lot of variety in the game. Just fantastic!

    This game is definitely one of the best. The story, the graphics, and the physics of the game were done very well.

The graphics are the best I've seen on my mediocre laptop. The way Lara scales the environment is so fun to play with, and makes it feel almost open world, and makes me excited for future titles. Cons: The combat for me left something to be desired; even on easy difficulty death becomes tedious, and there are enemies everyone, so much so that it feels untrue to the story and just annoying. Also the stealth part of the games had the potential to be great, but they probably didn't design the game with stealth in mind. 8/10 would play again.… Expand

    It played in 2022 for ~3 hours - it seems like an absolutely mediocre product with no distinct features, the game hasn't aged well that's for sure
    I wouldn't want to waste my time on something like this, quite surprised that it has such a high rating here.

    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!!!

A part l'infiltration (très optionnelle) qui fonctionne assez bien dans le jeu de Crystal Dynamics, tout le reste... reste inférieur aux jeux de Naughty Dog y compris les graphismes (mais d'un poil seulement il faut le reconnaître, TR n'en est pas moins superbe quand même).

    4 ans à modéliser les nichons de Lara mais pas les dialogues d'une niaiserie, d'une médiocrité crasse. On se croirait dans un téléfilm sur M6 (dommage, la VF est de qualité). Oh je vois bien ce qu'ils ont essayé de faire : rendre cette idiote de Lara Croft plus "humaine", moins conne mais ça n'a pas marché, on se fout éperdument de ce qui lui arrive. Certes, on lui hurle dessus quand on vient de rater un QTE (les postillons sur l'écran en attestent) mais c'est tout.

    De l'Uncharted en moins bien donc (déjà que les Uncharted ne sont pas toujours très passionnants et c'est peu de le dire...) mais aussi en moins drôle. Pourtant, ce Tomb Raider est tellement bête qu'il aurait pu l'être, drôle, mais il ne l'est pas, ni au second ni au quinzième degré.

    Et l'ironie de l'histoire, c'est qu'on s'amuse (entre guillemets) bien plus sur un Heavy Rain (le roi du QTE devant l'Eternel...) que sur ce Tomb Raider ! Au mieux on retrouve les mêmes défauts que dans les Uncharted comme les combats inintéressants par exemple. Mais un Uncharted a au moins le bon goût de ne jamais vous faire caler sur une énigme merdeuse : quand il voit que ça vous fait chier, il balance une immense flèche rouge qui bouge : la suite c'est par là, dit-elle.

    Conscients de leurs défauts et de leur médiocrité, les Uncharted ont toujours eu un peu de recul : Tomb Raider quant à lui (à elle pardon) reste les deux pieds dans la merde sans se rendre compte de rien.    … Expand

    This game had me going at it for a few days, and I got to say this is a great game to start this series on. The graphics still hold up for me even for 2020 standards. The story line is pretty decent, and was over all very enjoyable to play. My only complaints are that the story had a few awkward jumps, and that the camera movement can be disorienting to look at.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Tomb Raider oldukça keyifli bir Aksiyon-Macera oyunu. Oyunda Lara Croft isimli bir arkeologu kontrol ediyoruz. Hikayesinden bahsedeyim biraz. Lara arkadaşları ile birlikte bir efsane üzerine araştırmalar yapmak için Japonya'ya doğru yola koyulur. Ancak bu gemi bir fırtına dolayısı ile mahvolur. Ardından Lara ile arkadaşları kendilerini bir adada bulurlar. Bu ada ilginç bir adadır. Adada birçok insan vardır ve aynı Lara ile arkadaşları gibi o insanlar da adaya hapsolmuştur. Lara ve arkadaşları uzun uğraşlar sonucu arama kurtarma ekiplerine seslerini duyurmayı başarır ve bir uçak Lara ve arkadaşlarını bu adadan kurtarmak için yola koyulur. Uçak tam inişe geçecekken garip bir şekilde "buradan kimse gidemez" diye bir ses çıkar ve uçağa yıldırım çarpar, ardından uçak düşer. Bu olaydan sonra Lara bu adada ters giden bir şeyler olduğunu anlar. Adayı keşfetmeye başlamasının ardından adada "Güneş Kraliçesi" olan "Himiko" isimli gizemli miti keşfeder. Adaya gelenlerin adadan ayrılmasını engelleyen şey Himiko'dur. Hikayede ilerledikten sonra Mathias isimli bir kişi ve grubu Lara'nın en yakın arkadaşı Sam'i esir alır, Mathias ve grubu Sam'in "seçilmiş kişi" olduğunu ve eğer Sam'i Himiko'ya teslim ederlerse adadan kurtulabileceklerini düşünmektedir. Lara, Sam'i Mathias'ın elinden kurtarmayı başarır. Fakat bu sırada çok güvendiği Roth, Lara'yı kurtarmaya çalışırken ölür. Hikaye biraz ilerledikten sonra Lara'nın bir başka arkadaşı olan Alex de ölür. Olanlardan sonra Lara'nın arası Reyes ve Whitman ile de bozulur. Çok geçmeden adadan kurtulabilmek adına Whitman, Sam'i Mathias'a teslim eder ve Mathias da Sam'i Himiko'ya götürür. Reyes, Lara'ya başından beri haklı olduğunu ve onu dinlemesi gerektiğini söyleyip Lara'dan özür diler. Reyes ve Jonah, Lara'yı Sam'in kaçırıldığı yere götürür ve Lara'nın Sam'i kurtaracağı sırada düşmanları oyalayacaklarını söyler. Lara, düşmanlardan ve yıkılan yerlerden kurtulup Sam'e ulaşır ve önce Mathias'ı öldürür, ardından da Sam'i kurtarıp Himiko'yu etkisiz hale getirir. Ardıdan Sam, Lara, Reyes ve Jonah bir bota binip adayı terk ederler ve oyunun hikayesi sonlanır. Oyunun ortalama bir hikayesi ve güzel bir hikaye sunumu var, ben oynarken keyif aldım. Ancak bu oyunun en güçlü yanları bölüm tasarımı ve oynanış. Bu oyun benim gördüğüm en başarılı yaratıcı aksiyon kısımlarına sahip, aksiyon kısımlarını atmosfer ve tasarım açısından çok başarılı ve heyecanlı. Oynanış konusunda da oyun oldukça çeşitli ve güzel, ayrıca güzel bulmacalar da oyunda bulunuyor. Tırmanma hançerleri, ipli oklar gibi oynanışa zevk katan ve çeşitlendiren ögeler oyunda bulunuyor. Ayrıca oyundaki silahlar özelleştirilebiliyor ve yararlı ek özellikler eklenebiliyor. Yetenek puanlarını kullanarak Lara'ya yeni özellikler de kazandırabilmek mümkün. Vuruş hissiyatı oyunda biraz kötü olsa da diğer bahsettiğim ögeler kesinlikle vuruş hissiyatının kötü olmasını önemsiz kılıyor. Grafik konusunda oyunu biraz başarısız buldum, ışıklandırma ve kaplamaların daha iyi olmasını isterdim. Yine de oyunun grafikleri çok kötü değil, sadece bana göre ortalamanın biraz altında çıktığı yıla göre. Optimizasyon olarak oyun gayet iyi, oyunu en yüksek ayarlarda sabit 60 FPS değerinde sıkıntı yaşamadan bitirdim, ayrıca oyunu oynarken hiç hata ile de karşılaşmadım. Tomb Raider kesinlikle çok başarılı bir Aksiyon-Macera oyunu, bu türü seven oyunculara bu oyunu oynamalarını öneririm.… Expand

It is the tenth title in the Tomb Raider franchise, and operates as a reboot that reconstructs the origins of Lara Croft. In the beginning the first hour is a sequence of carefully scripted set-pieces and, yes, a cavalcade of button-mashing QTEs. But it's all for the sake of character development, and Tomb Raider is so good at this that you'll forgive the strict direction especially after the game opens out past the 60-minute mark and lets you loose on the island. Camilla Luddington's performance as Croft is impressively convincing, and throughout this adventure you'll really feel for Lara she is just not having a good time out there. It is a compelling reading of the character; we see Lara's vulnerability, but she is never disempowered, and never less than totally capable in extreme danger.
    Gameplay: Tomb Raider is presented in third-person perspective. Players take control of the series lead character Lara Croft. The game uses an interconnected hub-and-spoke model that combines action-adventure, exploration, and survival mechanics.[9] Players can traverse between the camps and across the island using footpaths, improvised or already-available ziplines and climbable tracks. Many of the players' moves are carried over from the previous games created by Crystal Dynamics, with some tweaks added, such as incorporating elements of stealth gameplay. Quick time events are scattered at regular intervals throughout the game, often appearing at crucial or fast-moving points in the game's plot, such as extracting a shard of metal, and escaping a collapsing cave.
    Story: This game is set on Yamatai, a fictional lost island in the Dragon's Triangle off the coast of Japan. The island and the kingdom that once existed there—is shrouded in mystery, given its reputation for fearsome storms and shipwrecks that litter its coastline. Yamatai was once ruled by a queen named Himiko, known by her honorific title of Sun Queen who, according to legend, was blessed with shamanistic powers that enabled her to control the weather. Very little is known about Yamatai's history in the time since Himiko's death, other than that the island's infamy was established shortly thereafter. In exploring the island, the player may find evidence that among others Portuguese traders, United States Marines, and a Japanese military project were all stranded on Yamatai at various points throughout history. At the start of the game, the island is populated exclusively by the Solarii Brotherhood, a violent cult of criminals, mercenaries, and shipwreck survivors. The Solarii Brotherhood has established its own society based on the worship of Himiko, complete with a social structure and laws, with their exact purpose and intentions being explored throughout the story.
    Character: The player takes on the role of Lara Croft, a young and ambitious archaeology graduate whose theories on the location of the lost kingdom of Yamatai have convinced the Nishimura family descendants from the people of Yamatai themselves to fund an expedition in search of the kingdom. The expedition is led by Dr. James Whitman, a celebrity archaeologist who has fallen on hard times.    … Expand

But eveything except story, narrative and characters are greatly well-done.

    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.

    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.
