    Just like Dishonored 2, this game is very similir to the first one, with better graphics. In spite of that, it is very fun and joyable to play. Not great but a very good game.

    I played it on ps5 and it looks amazing as expected it is running on next gen... i am disappointed though because it is only running in 30fps. The experience and feel is the same from part 1 except all the existing elements are there but improved. The flow of the story though, the plot, and the characters around while you are progressing the game are still the same as part 1 lara croft is trying to get a particular artifact while a hoard of soldiers tries to stop her and in the end she is not gonna keep it and the characters around her just keeps dying. Overall, the experience is really fun it literally feels like a continuation of part 1.  Story - 9/10

    Отличное продолжение серии перезапуска The tomb raider. Сюжет приятно удивил. В игру отлично вписался относительно открытый мир.

    Definitivamente el lavado de cara que se realizo en el anterior juego le hizo muy bien a este juego. Escenario y gráficos a la altura.

    Отменная игра, сюжет конечно меня не особо зацепил, банален, но вот геймплей интересен, графика приятная, в целом 8/10, обязательная для прохождения

    I've always considered the Tomb Raider series superior to Uncharted. Great action-adventure game, with good puzzles and exploration. Some "RPG" elements too, like skills, weapon upgrades and side missions (something that Uncharted is completely void of).

    A sequel which improves on the first game in nearly every way, Rise achieves its goal ably. The setting is confined and the plot is more focused that its predecessor. It would have been even sweeter if the main game was similar to the optional tombs and puzzles.

    After loosing the case with the disc 3 years ago, i finally found it and i could play it. I haven't played Tomb Raider (2013) yet, but i'm probably gonna get it if i'll enjoy Shadow of The Tomb Raider as well.

    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

    Phenomenal semi-open world game! For me, gameplay vise it is an easy 9/10 (mele system needs some improvements) But the game has some gamebreaking bugs that is incredible frustrating to encounter. Otherwise it is 9/10 and must play for everyone who likes exploration of the semi-open world with upgrade systems of the abbilities and weapons! Amazing experience!

    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

    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

Continuamos con la historia de Lara investigando los apuntes de su padre sobre la ciudad perdida de Kítezh y el secreto de la inmortalidad. En esta segunda parte, los escenarios se abren muchísimo más aumentando la exploración para encontrar coleccionables y diferentes objetos para la protagonista. En cuanto al sistema de habilidades, conseguimos desbloquearlas completando misiones, tumbas o desafíos. Durante la aventura, podremos crear botiquines, flechas, etc., con los materiales que vayamos encontrando por los mapas. Una de las novedades es el piolet para escalar, tanto en roca, piedra o hielo. La historia es interesante y si quieres completar el 100% te llevará bastante tiempo, ya que hay multitud de objetos que encontrar. Por otra parte, también hay un nivel extra en la mansión de los Croft en el que al más puto estilo Resident Evil hay que descubrir el secreto que guarda. Es un buen añadido. El tema de multijugador y online no lo he probado porque no me interesa, pero también es un añadido. Un juego muy recomendable.… Expand

    Just as 'Shadow of the Tomb Raider', it is a very comprehensive game, with a large map to explore, variety of side missions, weapons to upgrade and an interesting storyline.

    Great graphics and gameplay; difficult to fault the game. For the fans of Uncharted, this is a must!

    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.
