    i have not finished this game and i dont think i ever will, i got through to around 25 per cent of this game which took me 6 hours but I'm done.

After the Jacob introduction, this game just gets so **** boring it's insane. i had to convince myself to play it and each time and I could only sit down playing through like an hour each session. honestly, the mechanics and improvements gameplay-wise are so well done but the writing annoys me so much and it falls flat. each time I had to endure the story/ dialogue it felt like a cheese grater was being used on my brain. there are a lot of cool new tools and stuff but the game just feels so lacklustre even with them and the characters are boring as hell. the game looks beautiful, i didnt expect it to look like that. camilla luddington killed it as usual and her VA is pog. a lot of useless **** on the map too, almost felt like i was playing a Ubisoft game. not as thrilling as the last game but idk maybe it got better after you sludge through like 9 hours of the story.… Expand

I’m always a sucker for snow setting survival games and this one is right up my alley. The game does get sort of repetitive after a while and caused me to just speed my way to completing it after a two days of doing missions,side quest, exploring. Nonetheless it’s an amazing game to get into if it is your first Tomb Raider experience as it was with me… Expand

    What a great sequel to another great game. This game has a beautiful setting, a pretty simple story, yet absolutely enough for what it is and does not need any more answers - except for the obvious question of what happens next in Lara's life and one, two major question that come with the end that surely is answered in the next game, but overall for the normal storyline it is fine as itWhat a great sequel to another great game. This game has a beautiful setting, a pretty simple story, yet absolutely enough for what it is and does not need any more answers - except for the obvious question of what happens next in Lara's life and one, two major question that come with the end that surely is answered in the next game, but overall for the normal storyline it is fine as it is. I also liked that my assumption about a certain character was revealed to be true in the end.
    The game plays very nicely, though I have the feeling the controls are a little bit less working than in the first game, the atmosphere the game has is just wonderful and Lara is simply "one kickass woman who rocks entirely". I was a bit worried at first that the most obvious natural setting would be shown almost all the time - the snowy one - but I was really glad when I noticed it was a mix. Great snow areas, sunny forest and lake area, a few ruins here and there, definitely superb.
    However, it was a bit underwhelming that certain parts just reminded too much of moments that happened in the first game. I do not mind that much in general but this feeling definitely does not need to be this strong for part 3. Also a few battles were a bit frustrating when compared to the others but I can live with that.

    All in all a great and recommendable game that was worth for me to wait 3-4 years.    … Expand

    Actually a 9.5 because i dont think its a perfect game. It did everything the franchise always did but made it all better, Lara Croft always beautiful and great and the story is very engaging. Graphics, gameplay and music are all around great.

    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!

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Incredibly well-written story and equally good gameplay. The gameplay is so awesome that you feel more like you're watching a movie than playing a game.

She soon runs into a mysterious military organization known as Trinity, which intends to take the secret for their own nefarious means.

    While I personally quite enjoyed the 2013 reboot many fans were understandably disappointed with the increased focus on combat rather than exploration and puzzle solving. This follow up certainly redresses the balance by not only introducing better stealth mechanics, but also through the inclusion of optional challenge tombs that each offer a reward or upgrade for solving the contained puzzle.

    There are still plenty of faults with this game of course, from the unnecessary hand-holding, intrusive cut-scenes and poor melee combat but as with the first title in this rebooted series I largely enjoyed my time with it and I think fans of the older games will find this more to their liking as well.    … Expand

    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.
