    Rise of Tomb Raider, wasn't as good of game as its predecessor in terms of the story, but it still delivered a fun and enjoyable game.

    لعبة جميلة جدا بعالمها وشخيصتها ونظام لعبها ومهامها وألغازها لعبة لا تندم على لعبها نظام القتل بالأسلحة جميل بالرغم من بساطته ونظام الإغتيال جميل كذلك

    Enjoyed the gameplay a lot more and the scenery vs the previous installment. Very action packed! The story is just ok though but again better than the first game. The boss fight was hardly a fight, probably the quickest one I've ever played.

    finally i now realised whats wrong with new tomb raider games . old tomb raider games till year 2000 and anniversary are beautiful and the sites she visit have historical value they are not fictional places and enemies have guns rarely most enemies are supernatural lara croft was more awesome and confident most importantly those games are beautiful

    The graphics are gorgeous and alive. The story is dark and intriguing. The action is pure cinematic gold. Arguably the best Tomb Raider game out of the Survivor Trilogy (Tomb Raider 2013- Shadow of the Tomb Raider)

    it was better than the previous version of this game but still has some bugs that make some issues for you to run or use the rope easily.

A bland, generic story that hardly builds off of the first game in any way whatsoever. Characters that are just as bland and generic (Jonah returns and is just as annoying and useless as he was the first time around). Gameplay wise, this title is just another cookie-cutter checklist-style open world. The combat is boring and unusually easy even on the hardest difficulty. The climbing is broken and overly complex, and certain mechanics won't work half the time, leading to lots of unnecessary deaths. The puzzles are fun but are far too few. Several in-game achievements were bugged and required backup saves to complete, a flaw that should have been fixed after it was found in the first game. The extra modes are a numbskull's handiwork; Score Attack is a mode that force speedrunning in a game that constantly breaks pace by forcing in "cinematic" moments and also punishes you heavily for not memorizing every little detail of ever single one of the game's mind-numbingly boring missions. And of course it's required for several achievements. The Expeditions require that you manually activate certain challenges just to get their corresponding achievement, so you're forced to do multiple runs to satiate the developers' obvious narcissism/if you want to get everything done. Overall, a pathetic game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game doesn't evolve much from its predecessor. The gameplay is nice and the graphics are good, however the game's story is a total fiasco, whoever wrote this script seriously needs to relearn how to do it, Lara is constantly talking about herself in third person, apart from the tiresome lamentations ' it's all your fault Lara and blah, blah, blah... In her lines she sounds like a priest in her meekness, yet in action she doesn't think twice about blowing an enemy's head off with her shotgun. Constantin already does the opposite, the scene where he blinds the guy with his own hands is terribly pathetic, because the person would never bear such pain and would be totally submissive, even in cases of suicides where people hang themselves their necks are found with multiple scratches due to extinct subconscious survival. I hope the producer improves this aspect of the game and knows how to dose and give personality to Lara, because sometimes she is a mother, sometimes a serial killer, sometimes a staunch survivor, sometimes a crybaby regretting everything.
    O jogo não evolui muito em relação ao seu antecessor. A jogabilidade é legal e gráfico esta bom, entretanto a historia do game é um fiasco total, quem escreveu este roteiro precisa seriamente reaprender a faze-lo, a Lara fica a todo momento falando de si mesma em terceira pessoa, fora as cansáveis lamentações 'é tudo culpa sua Lara e blá,blá,blá...Em suas falas ela parece um padre em sua mansidão, todavia em ação não pensa duas vezes em explodir a cabeça de um inimigo com a escopeta. O Constatin já faz o oposto, a cena em que ele cega o cara com suas próprias mãos é terrivelmente patética, pois a pessoa jamais suportaria tamanha dor e ficaria totalmente submissa, até em casos de suicídios em que as pessoas se enforcam os seus pescoços são encontrados com vários arranhões devido ao extinto de sobrevivência subconsciente. Espero que a produtora melhore este aspecto do game e saiba dosar e dar personalidade a Lara, pois ora ela é uma madre ora uma serial killer, ora uma sobrevivente ferrenha ora uma chorona se lamentando por tudo.    … Expand

    Note: You do not need to have played the previous game in order to understand this one.

    This is a really good game and I would highly recommend check it out. I rated 7 out of 10 because it doesn't bring anything outstanding to the table. At times the movement feels a bit janky and the developers haven't done anything that new comparing to the 1st game. I wish they would just pay a little attention to detail rather then having it just work and then leaving it as that.
    Even small things like when your climbing rock walls leaving marks where the climbing axe was, actually tie the rope to the post rather then slapping it against it and then it appears on, leaving a knife mark on an animal you just skinned instead of it being completely untouched and the list goes on. The overall movement in this game is responsive but maybe a little too responsive. This just comes down to opinion but I would prefer it if everything wasn't instant. If I looking in 1 direction Lara is facing the opposite it's weird how she can turn around in a split second. Overall the mechanics in this game have been rushed. They got to the point where it worked well enough and left it without a bit of extra polish to make it feel as real as possible. Not to say they don't work but a company the size of Crystal dynamics I know that can do better.
    The underwater was garbage and had no vertical movement.
    Puzzles in this game are great and I can't flaw them. Overall they weren't so easy that I would solve at 1st glance but I would be able to solve them after 5 to 10 minutes. I never felt frustrated and needed to look up a guide.
    Sadly there was no where near as many puzzles as the 1st game. Some tombs were replaced with crypts which annoyed me. (Crypts are just caves that don't have a puzzle or anything and have a unique in).
    I am not sure if its just me but this game felt allot smaller overall compared to the 1st one (Tomb Raider DE). I found myself spending allot more time in the same area and there was allot less missions. But in that case they made up for it elsewhere right?
    Ummm no, you get some crap multiplayer mode with these cards and stuff. I played it once for about 15 minutes and it bored the hell out of me. These cards work as power ups or handy caps. Power ups remove score bonus and handy caps increase it. You shoot enemies and need to find your way through the area by findings keys and stuff. Sounds fun but it's not. Its rushed and its basically a game mode the devs have created as a way to incorporate micro-transactions into the game as of course they wouldn't be able to do this with the single player campaign. It mite be for some people but it really isn't for me. The worst part is the cards are basically essential. You get tons for free thou as they give you packs with the DLC which comes with the game now. The thing is there is plenty of better multiplayer experiences on different game so why am I going to play this.

    Overall its a good game. I just wish they spent more time making a better, longer story rather then cut a huge chunk off the campaign for some generic, boring co-op mode in order to plunge micro-transactions into the game. That seems to be the way now thou. Make a solid game that gets good sales. Expand upon the series with a game thats monitized but sacrifice parts of the game in order to meet deadlines.
    Also why the hell has this game only got bronze trophies? No gold, no silver, just bronze (And of course platnum). Was so confused when I seen this. Trophys are quite common in this game. I got around 30 or something after completing the game along side the baba yoga side story DLC.
    I haven't played shadow of the tomb raider yet but I am going to now. So I can not speak yet on what has improved and what's stayed the same.
    They may have fixed some of the things I have mentioned.    … 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!

    Spannendes Action Adventure mit toller Graphik und wuchtigem Sound. Das relativ gute Gameplay zieht jedoch im Vergleich zu Uncharted den Kürzeren, während in einer soliden Story wenig erinnerungswürdige Momente bleiben (7/10).

    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.
