    The story revolves about Lara (as usual), and her quest to the divine source, a mysterious artifact with magical abilities (as usual).
    This is a tomb raider game: you jump, you shoot, you solve puzzles.
    It tries to recaputre the "magic" of the 90s installments, trying to be modernized for current audiences.
    The pacing is good, alternating set pieces and more explorative sessions.
    The story is predictable, but serves the purpose of the gameplay.
    The replay value is high, as you might try to beat the game again with higher difficulty(which changes how the game can be saved or restricts how you can improve the skill tree).
    I recommend it, hope that the third installment will keep the charm intact.    … Expand

    Much better than Tomb Raider (2013). This game doesn't feel like a substandard copy of Uncharted. It is of decent length, and the cinematic action-adventure elements are much improved. I also liked how this was mixed with survival in the wild elements; how lara can craft bombs with empty cans and collect mushrooms to make poison arrows. The stealth elements were also much improved.

    In most respects, this game is improved over the first one. I liked the first Tomb Raider better than the Uncharted games because of it's more open level design, and this game takes that even further by providing a few much larger scale areas to explore at your own pace.

    The optional tombs are still very small in this game, usually providing only one puzzle before the reward. Still would prefer something closer to mini dungeons but these are better than the tombs in the first since they tend to look cooler and the puzzles you have to do feel a bit more inspired.

    Combat functions and feels virtually the same as the first, which isn't a bad thing but it's a generic third person shooter with regenerating health. It's still fun but doesn't provide much challenge, I was able to scrap my way through every fight without having to think and only died once because someone punched me off a ledge.

    This game doesn't saturate you with action though, so it never gets too repetitive as long as you're exploring the world and trying to find everything. I got 100% and probably only about a quarter of my time was spent in combat situations.

    All in all I had a great time with this one, giving it a full score higher than the first for the further improvements to level design.    … Expand

    Solid follow up to the first reboot game which was also excellent. Graphics, gameplay and art direction are all very good. A minor complaint is the lack of interaction with npcs like in the first game during cutscenes as this fleshed the characters out a bit more.

    The graphics are fantastic, as you progress the enviroments become incresingly diverse, and the cast of characters is entertaining as it is enjoyable to both listen and watch as the narrative unfolds.

    The real highlight of the game for me tho, comes in the form of collectibles, upgrades, puzzles, and tombs that you'll find in increasing amounts through each area of the game, this accompanied with the added dlc, as well as chapter replay elite, and expeditions mode, serve to further increase the replayability and engagement of this title.

    The combat system in conjunction with the platforming mechanics and the stealth systems, all contribute to an engaging and at times, surprisingly challenging experience.

    If there are any complaints that I have with this game is that at times it can be an overwhelming experience marrowed by a complex ui and multiple goals to complete.

    It tends to feel "bloated" after a while, and as such during my first playthrough I felt somewhat "rushed" by some of this systems, feeling like I could only focused on the clearly explained, and marked goals.

    However, despite those issues, Rise of the Tomb Raider did ended up becoming a pleseant game to experience through and through, and I would recommend this 20th anniversay version that includes all of its dlc as well as added modes.    … Expand

    By the way, Lara does not improve personality though from the previous episode, which was a little disappoint for me since I thought she could be more badass because of the adventure experience from the past but this game still maintain her vulnerable personality.

Don't get me wrong the main game is excellent. It has more of the same with improvements while addressing the main critiques of the prequel. But lets start at the beginning: It is a story driven exploration game. Lara has grow since the prequel and is on a way to a new adventure because there are things out there that she would not have imagined before and she wants answers. The story again is great with good twists but I must mention that I have seen one mayor twist miles before. The new characters Ana, Jacob, Jonah and Sophia are great. They easily got attached to me and I cared for them. The exploration aspect is improved. The additional tombs are bigger and more challenging. I enjoyed the puzzles and was sometimes impressed by the ideas. The crafting system is robust and here you get even some real side-quests. An addition is the translation system. As you got more proficient in languages you can read some clues on monuments or documents to get additional benefits. There are also some minor improvements here and there. The graphics and soundtrack are really good. Then there is the Baba Yaga DLC for free on the disc. While not relatively long it is intense has a good story and a memorable boss battle. I found this a worthy addition. Blood Ties is a welcome adventure filled with puzzles and riddles. I enjoyed this more detective style adventure a lot. Be warned it has no battles and plays only in Croft Manor / Estate. Can put people off but I enjoyed it. Laras Nightmare is the opposite and while I enjoyed it I would not mind if it was removed. Final rating: The content is excellent and an improvement over the already good prequel. The 20 years celebration however tricked me into thinking it was a best off with more content. I subtract nothing because of this because it is satisfying and the old games would be out of date today especially for the graphics.… Expand

    - The story is quite bland, there is a lack of characters, being the most important and interesting Lara and The Profet. Practically all characters doesn't have a good huge development or evolution.
    Lara is quite plain alongside the story, with an important lack of emotion but her father's will. Like the first game, it feels kinda artificial and poorly design.

    Other characters like Jonah or even the main villain itself have a minor importance and they developmente in the story are simple or even unexistent, with a huge lack of real involvement.

    Also the plot is practically a copy from the first game, the final fases even fun and good designed, are quite too much similar in many ways to the first, with romans instead of "samurai".

    - Gameplay is simple, find coverage and shot the enemies, there are4 types of weapons with differt variations: bow, primary (rifle, sniper, subrifle), secondary (shotgun), and handgun. Olso the piolet but only for melee.
    The problem here is the enemy IA (quite dumb), the design of the stages (normaly small with lots of coverage and pickup objects) and enemies (too armored enemies breaks the flow), crafting (pickup objects are excesive and quite OP) and sometimes camera. Also melee combat is like the first, evade and kill, quite easy, and the healing system can be improved.

    The map size is good, but it is not a open world, there is backtracking to collect resources, but again there is no real reward unless you aim to the 100% completion.

    Optional cripts are quite similar to the first, except 2 or 3, the rest are simple and a bit dissapointing, i expected more. Also the rewards arent quite useful.

    - The World as I said is good sized and good looking, but there is a lack of impresive environments and cutscenes oftenly interrupts the pace of the game, there are too many when you run and everything goes down, it needs improvement.

    - Extra content (Baba Yaga, Endurance, etc): fun but not really a huge value, Baba Yaha is fun and really rocks, but again the plot is predictable.
    Endurance is a survival mode, interesting but it falls in repetition.

    - Overall: good game, fun game but with a lot of issues, Animations, combat system, story, characters, side-missions, environments.
    I didn't find myself stuned with a view, like I did with other games. The game tries hard to make it but doesn't deliver, unless not at today's high end quality games.

    I find in the saga a lack of identity, that tries to find itself in a genre and with a legendary character that do not reaches the glory of it's past days.
    I'm really looking forward to Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I want to see improvement and know if finally that game reaches the top. A similar game only will lead to dissapointment.    … Expand

Counting this I beat the game in 12 hours in easy mode. When I finished the game I also did the game Blood Ties, which you can do if you feel to. You just have to explore your house to search things.

    An excellent action adventure game. Story keeps you interested, though it's nothing groundbreaking. The game isn't such a step up as the previous title was, which is understandable.

All the weapons have surprisingly deep upgrade system, often those upgrades have a visual impact and sometime audio impact on the weapons.

    Exploring caves in side missions got so much larger and more varied than in the previous title. Plenty of the locations are gorgeous to watch and even more exciting to explore.

    The only cons I can think of is the ending. I won't be spoiling anything, but for me the last 1-2 hours is too jammed with action and unnecessarily long puzzles. It felt like they tried to be more like Uncharted... which they don't need, they're doing so much better on their own. And that clickbait for the next game... There was no need.

    But ignore my nitpicking. This is a great game, especially for the current price, it's a bargain. I'm off to try Rise Of the Tomb Raider dlc.    … Expand

    Third-Person Action Adventure. Was it fun? Yes, one of the best games of the year. I made a rule for myself where I had to use the Bow and Arrow for basically the entire game. I think I shot maybe, 4 enemies with a gun. Are there any similar games? Its very similar to Uncharted and I don’t think its a bad thing. What did you think of the story?    What Kind of Adventure?

    Third-Person Action Adventure.

    Was it fun?

    Yes, one of the best games of the year. I made a rule for myself where I had to use the Bow and Arrow for basically the entire game. I think I shot maybe, 4 enemies with a gun.

    Are there any similar games?

    Its very similar to Uncharted and I don’t think its a bad thing.

    What did you think of the story?

    I don’t want to go into too much detail about the story right now. I know its still a fairly new game that has come out so I’m going to keep it as brief as I can. It starts out where you’re just following in your fathers foot steps, trying to get to a mythical city so you can stop an evil organization from acquiring a mythical item. I don’t want to go into too much more detail.

    The story itself, is kind of stereotypical and the motivation of individual characters are kind of simplistic. I certainly wasn’t blown away by the story but it was interesting enough to keep me interested.

    Favorite Character?

    Unfortunately there wasn’t a lot of character development and you really only get to know 4 characters and really only development for Lara. I do like how she evolving in these games and I do think in this game, her character does take a step in the right direction.

    In the first game (Tomb Raider (2013), she started out kind of lost and didn’t really know what to do with herself, by the end of that game she kind of finds herself and discovers that she is a super bad ass. At the end of this one, she is Lara Croft, the Tomb Raider. Thats what makes me excited about the future.

    Favorite World/Stage?

    The most memorable chapter was when you’re going back to rescue Jonah. There was this under water fight where you’re in the water, under a layer of ice. Now the ice had maybe 4 or 5 holes that you could peek out and kill an enemy. I really enjoyed the idea of it and the way the game wants you to kill the men is by stealthily peaking out the water and pulling an unaware enemy into the water. The problem with it is there would almost always be 3 or 4 together staring down into a hole so it was difficult to individually pick one off.

    Additionally the gameplay mechanics limit you from being able to shoot from within the water so the easiest option was often swim to a far way hole. Hop out, shoot 1 enemy and then hop right back into the water and repeat.

    Would you play it again?

    This definitely has replayable value and I might replay it again next year. Right now I gave it to my friend to play. I want him to play it so I have someone to talk about this game with.

    Any Complaints?

    Maybe the story was a little too stereotypical but I think thats being a little harsh and for what ever reason, I had a tougher time with the platforming elements. There were times where I died and because she didn’t grab onto to a wall or a ledge when I wanted her. It was not common occurrence and very rare but it did happen a few more times than it does with the Uncharted series.

    How many hours did you play it?

    Maybe 18 hours.    … Expand

We love SP games and the game industry should do more of these and stay away from the "game as a service" idea - because NO.

The rejuvenated Tomb Raider game, first in this trilogy, was a god-send for me as someone who always loved the series but was over the direction it was going. Rise goes one step further and fixes almost all of the flaws of its predecessor and in fact, for me, directly challenges Uncharted for the best game of its kind.

    Gameplay is refined, focused and above all ridiculously fun. Traversing the predominantly snowy and ice rugged Siberian landscape is exhilarating, with all the immersion-breaking active time events removed. There's a huge focus on actual tomb raiding for the first time in years with some really challenging puzzles and loads of artifacts to collect, ancient languages to learn and items to unlock. Combat is intuitive and flows well. The difficulty is spot-on. Crafting is kind of silly but ultimately really enjoyable. Making bombs, poison, smoke grenades etc on the fly is great and really becomes essential in later encounters. Lara feels like an absolute machine by the end of the game, which is a blast to play through. RPG elements like clothing choice, skill upgrades and weapon mods are interesting enough but I honestly didn't see a huge different in shotgun varieties for example, so don't know how relevant their stat differences truly were. Her arsenal is amazing though and that's enough for me!

    Graphics are stunning in this game, particularly Lara and the environmental effects. Dark caves spring to life via Lara's torch, dusty ruins are impressive in scale and atmosphere and the weather/lighting/explosion/other fun stuff effects are pretty incredible. The DLC adds a huge deal to the story and wold, one by exploring a trippy witch cave and the other, Croft Manor.

    My major issue is with the story/other characters. The story is so standard and dull, and never felt truly gripping and the side characters are almost exclusively 2-dimensional. Thankfully, there has never been as much effort put into Lara's characterisation and watching her evolve into a ruthless, almost obsessive killer is fascinating. The situations and people she encounter are slowly morphing her into the competent, sassy and cold character we got to know in the 90s and I cannot wait to see the conclusion in Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

    Considering Uncharted pretty much stole TR's crown in the 2010s, I firmly believe Lara has wrestled it back from Nathan. What Uncharted holds above TR in terms of narrative and maybe graphical performance, Rise undoubtedly makes up for by being a better game to play. There's more variety, truly engaging combat/exploration and a much more open, involved experience in general. I'm absolutely delighted with the current state of this series!    … Expand

    Mejora la fórmula del primero, sigue en su misma tónica pero nos encontramos ante una historia más frenética y nos adentramos mejor en el personaje de Lara, sin lugar a dudas la secuela superó al primero.

Trophies are a little bit funny - too easy or too hard. Most of the DLC packs are really intense and super hard and with a lot of bugs. In Cold Darkness I laterally replaced, picked up again the needed challenges and the challenges were not activated. However, highly recommend the game with that in mind that there are a lot of things to be improved.… Expand

    Well, a game with adventure, excitement and the thrill of enjoyment, is what this game should be, and for the most part is. There isn't too many bad points, so I'll go over them first.

There isn't too many bad points, so I'll go over them first.

    Lara, now the character is fine, fits well with the game, the story, even the characters ,but at points, she feels so selfish, like oh that was my fault, this has happened because of me, oh I'm sorry I did this, it's those little phrases and speech, that really make me want to skip cut scenes, but it's Lara Croft so I didn't.

    The second and last bad point, is the story, though good, as I'll explain later, is at times forced, often feeling rushed, and is a shame because on a whole it flows well with the environments, but can be lackluster at times.

    Now the good points, game play well done, now I wasn't expecting Uncharted styled game play, or cryptic puzzles to solve, but what we got was a pact, and well executed function of game play, the various weapons and tools to help during exploration and climbing obstacles was a nice, and the feel of open world was pretty cool too.

    Combat, loved it, fluid, clean and made gun fights, and melee feel heart pounding. The range of weapons to fight with was ace, and the ability for stealth was a plus, overall very good when it came to combat.

    Story, raiding a tomb, seems the norm, and execution of this said norm was very well done, it's a shame no, quote on quote sexy scenes were present despite the 18 rating, but hey it was good without them none the less, overall gripping and enticing at every corner.

    Lastly the characters, now there is Lara, but she was fine, in more ways than one, but the other characters were pleasing, respectable and didn't give me the urge to ignore them, each one having an impact on what happened, even down to the generic enemies, each one had purpose and didn'r feel like placeholders.

    On a final note, the game was amazing, the visuals is what I would expect, and for the most part a very tidy game, challenges were difficult at times but never too hard you gave up, and the story and characters seemed polished and purposeful, must say well done, well done indeed.    … Expand

    Definitely a 10/10, since they pretty much used the same engine as it's predecessor, which is a good thing.
    From the whole reboot trilogy, it definitely has the best story in my opinion. Really cool DLCs and the inventory is pretty big, a bunch of nice rifles, bows, shotguns and pistols. The coop was also a better idea than actual multiplayer like TR2013.    Forgot to rate this one, lol

    Dislikes:
    -When Lara would sense enemies nearby she automatically crouches, but i would like to crouch with a push of a button, but there is no option to do so. This kind of takes away from the stealth experience.
    -When Lara's survival instincts are activated you are not able to move because if you do the instinct will be deactivated, so you are constantly pressing the instinct button.
    -Reading the documents through out the game was very TIRING as there are SO MANY documents to be found and read.
    -There were times where i would want to raid a tomb, but i couldn't do so because i didn't have the right equipment and that i would have to come back to that tomb when i did which was also annoying (I never went back).
    -The puzzle solving got really annoying too.
    -I wish that the coin caches were worth more when found.

    Considering how annoying this game was at times I still really enjoyed it and i rather play this game any day over Uncharted 4. I am definitely looking forward to playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider.    … Expand

    I completed the main story in around 22-23 hours and did a few side missions. The optional tombs and the puzzles they contain are really well done.

    For some reasons, I didn't feel really engaged in the upgrading and leveling system. There are a lot of different abilities and weapons but they could have improved the way they introduced them.

    This game seems somewhere between Uncharted (adventure-linear) and Far Cry (adventure-open world).

    Just WOW! This game is absolutely beautiful. And I love how the developers enhanced the game for PS4 Pro console.

    But I put a 9/10 instead of a 10/10 because of some technical issues in the game, and when you choose the "high frame-rate" mode on PS4 Pro, the frame-rate is very unstable and it goes from 40 to 50 fps. It should be fixed but I guess it's too late now. Anyway, I loved    Just WOW! This game is absolutely beautiful. And I love how the developers enhanced the game for PS4 Pro console.

    Anyway, I loved this game. All of it. To not mention the new difficulty, "Extreme survivor", which is very difficult and makes you really anxious because the game only saves at base camps, and some of them are also unlit.

    I also appreciated very much the new classic skins, especially the Angel of Darkness one. Unfortunately, the TR2 and TR5 skins have a braid that flies in the air also when there isn't wind, which is very strange. Must be some problem in the braid physics.

    Talking about hair physics: I love the new technology that Crystal Dynamics put on Lara's hairs. The only issue I have with them is that Lara's hairs in the front are very puffy and, sometimes, there are some problems in the animation where Lara touches her hairs after being in the water. Sometimes che puts her hands in her head. I think that animation should be deleted in the next TR game because It's a bit useless and It's full of glitches.

    Anyway, Crystal Dynamics did an awesome job with this game. Congratulations!    … Expand

    This game is really good in my opinion, but there were 2 main things that really frustrated me. One of them is the gameplay. It felt kinda clunky. Recoil in this game is horrible, the gunplay as a whole was pretty bad imo. The second thing was that this is a open-world game. I don't really enjoy openworlds so it was bad for me. I felt some kind of emptiness throughout the game, where instead of doing the side missions, or hunting the animals i was just straight forward going to progress with the story which lead to only about 10 hours of gameplay. But aside that i quite enjoyed this game and i had fun overall. There were even some things that i expected from Uncharted 2 (for example) that weren't there so i was surprised in a good way. A ton of set pieces were also a good thing. The story was pretty enjoyable, but i kinda felt that Jonah didn't get enough screen-time. As a Uncharted fan, this is a good refresh with Uncharted franchise being done. Great game overall.    … Expand

Few games in 2021-2022 can compete with her. Beautiful graphics, interesting gameplay, memorable characters, well-developed locations, great music, but the plot turned out to be not chic, quite simple, but sincere.
    There are bugs, both minor and funny, and those that start to infuriate you, because of which you feel constrained in the gameplay and the developers' imaginations (although sometimes the game was surprising in a good way), but they are not so critical.
    Sometimes the game picked up too fast a pace, sometimes on the contrary it stretched the grind, it is, of course, not necessary, but I don’t want to leave uncompleted places on the map, although at the moment I didn’t go through the game 100%, I’m too tired of walking through the tombs, and look for documents in large locations. Speaking of documents and relics: it is really interesting to study, interesting stories that reveal the plot or simply complement the picture of the whole game history, as if you were attending a history lesson.
    There are claims to the game: since I played the game for the first time in the series, I played on the difficulty "Experienced robber", and the game did not show me difficult, the problem is most likely in saving almost at every step, as well as too strong a weapon that can pump almost at the beginning, which makes it unbalanced (despite the fact that the game is not very long). It is clear that the developer apparently did not want to annoy the players by passing the same places a million times due to the fact that they were killed by the enemy, but still there is difficulty, there is shooting, there is death - and this death is not particularly frightening, because you you will be reborn literally in a couple of meters. Some perks are completely useless, some are not really balanced, some can help once, even if you are playing without saving. Gaining experience due to the fact that the game is short, fast enough, and because of this, you simply pump over the perks you do not need, without even reading them. Sometimes the game lacked a variety of locations, often it's just mountains, mountains and more mountains. In some places, the game turned frankly into a shooter, yes, it's cool to shoot, but when you want it, and not according to the script.
    Just a few more words about AI: it's good, the enemies are not blind morons, but at the same time they cannot see you 50 km away. There were moments in the game that were confusing and a little annoying, where you understood that you could have done better, but in general the game is really amazing, I also played it for free, in general, super.    … Expand

    I did like this game. However, when I got closer to the end of the game, something just felt off. It got to the point where I would rush through the game just to get to the end. Other than that, A good sequel to the rebooted Tomb Raider series

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Speaking of the good aspects, the gameplay is good, it has several weapons and several tools which is great! The scenarios are also beautiful and helped by the beautiful graphics.
    The least positive aspect is the story. Like the first one, the story is not very good despite good plot twits, but it is compensated by all the great aspects mentioned above.    … Expand

    I find this game pretty good compared to the first game of the trilogy- Tomb Raider(2013). This game has a pretty decent story, BUT, it's too short. There are moments in the game where I would feel extremely sad, BUT, the game wasn't long enough to show us more about every character, to start sympathizing them.

There are moments in the game where I would feel extremely sad, BUT, the game wasn't long enough to show us more about every character, to start sympathizing them. Also I kinda hate the thing with the coins that won't appear unless you read the murals, and in order to read the murals, you need to collect documents and other stuff, which means that you will have to go back to a map more than twice, one time in story mode, where you will notice some documents, relics, murals, but not all of them, after which you come the second time, to find the murals and documents, and the third time you come to find the coins. I really hate this, but this is just my opinion because I like making 100% on every game I buy, because if you are playing just for story, you won't need the coins, maybe the documents to understand better some things. This game is a very good one, but for me it has some bad parts that's why I give it 8/10, but still it is a must play for people who like action, shooters and puzzles. Also about puzzles, they were not so hard but also not so easy, some of them required me some time for understanding how they work.… Expand

Das düstere Survival-Horror Feeling des Vorgängers transportiert der Nachfolger in der Form nämlich nicht mehr.

    Dagegen wurde der Open World Aspekt weiter ausgebaut. Man kann sich nun noch freier in den Umgebungen bewegen. Auch die Gameplaymechaniken um Klettern und Stealth Action wurden deutlich verfeinert. Besonders überzeugen jedoch die Tombs, die deutlich größer und komplexer ausfallen als im Vorgänger. Mit Rise of the Tomb Raider nähert sich Crystal Dynamics so den ursprünglichen Tugenden der Serie wieder mehr an. Dialoge und Story sind zwar wieder wenig überzeugend und eher auf B-Movie Niveau, Lara als Charakter kommt hingegen, auch dank der DLC Erweiterungen, deutlich besser zur Geltung als im ersten Teil.

    Auch die Präsentation überzeugt wieder mit toller Kamera und guten Cut Scenes. Die Abwechslung aus eher ruhigem Erforschen, Klettern, Stealth Gameplay und geskripteten Actionpassagen funktioniert super und macht auch den zweiten Teil zu einem spannenden Erlebnis, das man definitiv nicht verpasst haben sollte.    … Expand

    The game did not age a bit while it awaited its PS4 release. It’s still fantastic and looks stunning. [13/2016, p.71]

    One of the best modern action adventures has finally arrived to PS4. Except a few small issues this version is a success, moreover, you will get all DLC along with the game; you can play in co-op and you will experience and extraordinary trip to Lara's home –  even with the support of VR. Set high difficulty, turn off auxiliary indicators and enjoy the Tomb Raider with everything that goes with it.
