    Surprisingly good reboot of the franchise. I feel like the second game is the best but this one definitely deserves some love.

    Action packed platforming and decent story-telling, too much fantasy for my taste.

    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

    This is a good game. I enjoyed it. I do not like the subtle leftist takes in the game though, but it wasn't too much. Definitely worth picking up on Steam --- especially during their sales.

    Bản Tomb Raider này đã cho tôi tham vọng tìm hiểu những tựa game phiêu lưu, hành động khác. Sự tham vọng đó thực sự bắt nguồn từ những yếu tố xuất sắc của trò chơi này. Lúc đó tôi lần đầu trải nghiệm thể loại này, bây giờ chơi lại có thể cảm giác không còn như ban đầu nhưng Tomb Raider thực sự là một tựa game xuất sắc!Bản Tomb Raider này đã cho tôi tham vọng tìm hiểu những tựa game phiêu lưu, hành động khác.

    I was kind of skeptical of Tomb Raider because I usually don't like what most people recommend and since it is a very popular game I was afraid I wouldn't even get to the middle of it. But I actually felt good playing it. I had some things I didn't like and I'll list everything below.

But I actually felt good playing it. I had some things I didn't like and I'll list everything below.

    Graphics: since I wanted to play Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider to get the whole story, I expected not so good graphics on the first one. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that on maximum settings it really looked good for a 2013 game and what I really liked was the camera shots that dynamically change the angle depending on the scene. It's not everywhere, but there is a particular type of scene that you'll find often that really improves the atmosphere.

    Story: The story is good, I like that it's not directly the "Find the bad guys and kill them" storyline, but you actually change the goal of the game by finding out more about the reason you're stuck there. This is not a spoiler but a warning that I hope I had before playing the game: the menu percentage of the story is actually of the whole map including tombs and other stuff to explore, so when I finished the story with around 70% completion I was surprised to find out about that. So just keep in mind, the story should end when you feel like you're approaching the end, not when the percentage is high.

    Gameplay: I liked the gameplay. The weapon system is the usual "get a new weapon every x levels and upgrade it", but I didn't mind that, it's not annoying. What I didn't really like was the water levels or when you slide down some caves. I'm saying that because there are a lot of particles and sometimes you can't really find where you should go to avoid dying. Also, I have to point out that a few times I had no idea how to finish a level and had to repeat the same things for 10 minutes to find out where I was supposed to go, but maybe it's just me not being very careful about the little details. There isn't really anything special about the gameplay besides the climbing and rope arrow.

    After all, I enjoyed playing the game and it was satisfying enough to recommend it to other people, I hope the next two Tomb Raider games on my list will not be the same gameplay but with a little different story, I hope they will bring new mechanics and better immersion.    … Expand

    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.

    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.
