    This is hands down the most entertaining Tomb Raider game I have ever played. By that I mean the controls and gameplay are top notch, but it being on PS4 gives it the ability to surpass the graphical experience of any previous game. This is how Tomb Raider should always have looked, which is probably why it's being called "definitive." :)

I love how Crystal Dynamics just easily announced it 2 months ago and now it's finally here! Despite the addition to multiplayer (which people are getting tired of), everything that they learned was a piece of cake. This is my pick for Game of the Year for 2013 because it doesn't matter which critically-acclaimed game gets the big prize, you just have to play the game and then relieve it once more. What a phenomenal year for the reboot of Tomb Raider. The story is awesome, incredible updated graphics, intense gameplay (you might have to watch the cutscenes), and I'm so glad that the ESRB just stepped up to the plate and gave this the first M-rated game in the series. A big kudos to Camilla Luddington. I love her on Grey's Anatomy, she did one hell of a performance as a young Lara Croft who is going to test her skills to take on her biggest and dangerous challenge before she was the adventurer we know and loved since the original version in 1996. I just don't like the Multiplayer mode, that's all because I hope they should not add another one while making #10 anytime soon before E3. So I might wanna reconsidered it CD a little bit and try to add single-player DLC. If you haven't played last year's version on PS3, I suggest you should either keep it with your library or just trade it. Because once you experienced it on the PS4, there's no telling what you're in for.… Expand

    You cant say this game is a cash grab because it was released for the PS4 with higher resolution and textures! Yes, if you played this game on ps3 or xbox 360. then theres no point in getting it. But The game is amazing on ps4! if you haven't played it! GET IT!

    Almost perfect game in my opinion. Great balancing great combat great level up system the game is just fun from beginning to end. Lara is the perfect balance of Old and New Shoes I complete badass and you and when she's covered in dirt and bloody you still feel a connection with her. Definitely the high point of the series it went downhill from here.

If you have played the original one, then apart from a bit of superficial extra content there's not much reason to purchase again.

The effects and the action are just wonderfully put together. And the side missions and gathering is also pretty nice for increasing the gametime.
    I also like the arsenal and weapons. I seriously can't find anything bad to say about the game. I think i finished the game after 4 days or so but man it was exciting. I think it was perfect in length. If you have not played the game i really do recommend picking this up!    … Expand

    I owned this on PS3 an loved it. And I do not feel ripped off for buying a game I had for better graphics. Why would I? They aren't tricking anyone, they've stated plainly that's what this is and then you can choose to buy it or not.
    As you've heard, this isn't a simple resolution bump. They have warranted the selling price for me.

    As you've heard, this isn't a simple resolution bump. They have warranted the selling price for me.

    Even near the beginning, as I was on a cliff, seeing the wrecked ship down below, there was smoke and debris thick in the air, while birds flew in the distance, I marveled at the scene with all this happening at once without a stutter or pop in.
    I'm a console guy, so to play such a scene, where as far as the eye could see, everything remained detailed with no pop in of any kind.....that alone is worth the money, since underneath the graphics lie a fun and great controlling game. They did a top notch job, quality like no other.

    At this point, I have CoD: Ghosts, BF4, Killzone and AC4. Now Tomb Raider. Tomb is the best looking of some damn good looking games.
    Thank you, Crystal Dynamics, for making an already great game so much better.

    And those complaining about the price: If you're that cheap, you just get it when it's older. It's not as though games don't go on sale or drop.
    The only things that matter is for your money you will get an exceptionally well made game any action/adventure fan should love. They may play towards the same type of gamer, but I think this game is better than any of the Uncharted.
    Well acted. Fun story. Incredible graphics. I've no regrets, I love this game as much now as I did a year ago. It's a game I'm proud to own. No trading in this one!    … Expand

    Tomb Raider Definitive Edition is one of my favorite games of all time. It perfectly balances narrating the adventure with an emotional story and characters, challenges, discovery, upgrading, with the tension of the enemy encounters being at a enjoyable juxtaposition of the beauty you see and enjoy on the island paradise. I give this game a 10, but only because the game deserves it.

    Survival instinct is a helpfull feature to see everything black white and enemy in red, but you can also play the game without using this instinct :) iTS all up to the player .
    Replay value is great , you can return to all the camp fires for finding extra optional tombs or collectibles, gps signals, relics, exploring open world levels or just go hunting in the Woods.
    Multiplayer is fun, iTS like uncharted but better bedauwen of all the guns + bows and being able to shoot with your single gun when you got shot and are dying on the ground in multiplayer.

    Deffenitely one of the best action adventure games on ps4,
    A much smoorher and more Nice looking 60fps remake off the game i played on ps3 last year
    Must buy if you didnt play iT but also a must buy if you already played iT on ps3 because iTS gonna be a trilogy on ps4. I gotta have iT in my collection.
    Best looking Lara croft, and Hours of fun. At least around 20 Hours for story if you also explore tombs and add replay= worth buying

I originally played this masterpiece on my PC, a powerful rig with crossfired 7970's and a 2600K at 4.8Ghz. I thought that the game was visually exquisite on my configuration with TressFX etc all enabled and a stable performer, although even my rig couldn't escape frame dips from a v-synced 60fps in areas such as shanty town. I think the devs have done a commendable job porting this to the much weaker, but still very capable, PS4 with so many visual bells and whistles intact and expanded upon. The game truly is a sight to behold running at 1080p and a perceptively quite stable 60fps on my big 65 inch Panasonic.

    A lot of people/critics are marking the game down based on the price. This is unfair in my estimation. The 'game' is still a stellar AAA title, now with just more additional sheen. The practice of keeping the price high is something I understand the community's resentment over, but as far as ridiculous scores like 60% or below for the actual game itself I do not agree with at all.

    If you never knew the title was released prior and sat down to play it and review it on its own merits in this incarnation you would be undeniably impressed and the score should reflect that.

    If you're lucky enough to have never played it and own a PS4 buy it immediately, comfortable with the fact that you just purchased the best game on the system. But even if like me you have played it, and even if you played it on the PC where the advantages this version offers are slimmer, it still is worthy of heavy consideration. I personally loved the game first time round and had zero reservations about ponying up for it again on PS4. It is a double dip, but it is also one where you can see significant care has been made to update a lot of things graphically that is truly a rarity in similar double dip scenarios, where a resolution increase is about it.

    The designers have pulled out all the stops and have provided some of the best interior designs I've seen outside of the uncharted franchise. Lara struggles through her journey at first and although scared and unsure of herself she never feels helpless. The voice acting along with the intricate facial animation make for an emotional journey and along the adventure you sincerely want Lara to succeed. Of coarse we all know she makes it out in one piece, and eventually grows pyramid shaped breasts.    … Expand

You don't get a lot of ammo, so you have to make every shot count. Throughout the game, you see Lara Croft persevering through loads of painful crap. She gets hurt numerous times, but never gives up. You feel an empathy with Lara when she is hurt. That's how real the game can get. The game can get pretty difficult at times, plus you don't get many supplies, so it gives you a feeling of survival. You make every shot count. This game is not a sequel, so you don't have to play the previous ones to get into the story. This game tells how Lara Croft became the Tomb Raider. The story is absolutely great with a strange, supernatural element. This game has length to it, and it is not just a shooter game. It is an adventure game. You climb, slide down trechorous, rocky slopes, hunt, and craft items. This is a game that is worth every penny. If you can, get the Definitive Edition. It's worth it more than you know.… Expand

    I had actually never played a Tomb Raider game before and I played this game after playing the Uncharted series. The games are very similar in gameplay mechanics and treasure seeking. I thoroughly enjoyed the exploration parts of Tomb Raider as well as upgrading weapons, the tomb side-quests, the combat, and the different ways Lara interacts with the environment.

That being said, it's certainly worth the purchase because not only does it showcase the potential of the PS4, it brings back the fluidity and brilliance of one of the best games made in the last few years.

    Tomb Raider is back. For starters, the visuals are absolutely gorgeous. Even though this generation's life is still very very young, so young that I'll get sent to jail for looking at it funny, Tomb Raider has set the bar extremely high by being the best looking game I've ever played. Lara is the most detailed character I've seen in gaming. She looks almost real. The supporting cast ofTomb Raider is back. For starters, the visuals are absolutely gorgeous. Even though this generation's life is still very very young, so young that I'll get sent to jail for looking at it funny, Tomb Raider has set the bar extremely high by being the best looking game I've ever played. Lara is the most detailed character I've seen in gaming. She looks almost real. The supporting cast of characters didn't get nearly enough attention as far as texturing goes, but Lara, the weapons, and the environment all look beautiful. The controls are tight, but I encountered a few problems in which Lara didn't respond to my command. It usually happened when transitioning from climbing on a wall to climbing up a rock wall with the pickaxe tool. It is nowhere near as bad as Uncharted's controls, however. Overall, the engine works well and controls are extremely tight. The story is good. Lara is a great character; she's likable, relatable, and interesting. The supporting cast is marginal at best. You don't really care about them; I actually ended up rooting for several of them to die. When death did occur, I didn't even offer a shrug of the shoulders. You're in this game for Lara's story, not for her boring friends. Combat is good, allowing you to take a stealthy approach or a "run and gun" approach. However, there are very few "pure stealth" sections. Most encounters are usually started using stealth but usually devolve into massive shootouts worthy of the Call of Duty franchise. But gunplay and the cover mechanics are all very functional, so it's not a problem. I only mention it because if you're looking for a pure stealth game, you're going to be disappointed. The game also includes a deep upgrade system for your gear and weapons; it has you collecting salvage around the island and off bodies and it works really well. I found myself combing almost every piece of landscape, not something I do very much in games, in order to get the supplies, which are used to upgrade weapons, and collectables. There are several tombs, but they only really gain you more salvage for upgrading. The puzzles are intuitive and fun and are the appropriate amount of challenging. The two areas in which the game is lacking are Lara's upgrades and replayability. A lot of Lara's upgrades are very useful and almost essential. Several, however, are utterly pointless. SOme of which are the exact same upgrade but utilize a different gun or piece of gear (for example, finishing off an enemy with your shotgun is a different upgrade that finishing one off with your arrows). After beating the game, you are allowed to explore the island at will collecting upgrades and raiding tombs. But like Assassin's Creed, there's not much to do after completing all the optional objectives. Overall, Tomb Raider is a fantastic game and it is a true must buy for next-gen systems if you didn't play it last year. If you did, I hear it's the same exact game, so you really aren't missing much. The homage to classic tomb raider at the end is a really nice touch.… Expand

And it is a damn fine upscale of a damn fine game at that.

    None of the the story elements have been changed, it is still the adrenaline fuelled thrill ride that some experienced last year when the game came out on PS3 and Xbox 360. People seem to have taken it upon themselves to do nothing but post negative reviews, based just on the fact that this game would release at $60.
    This was, admittedly, slightly surprising, however, I think we can all agree that you are smart enough to know if it has that value to you. I myself only got to play the original game for about an hour at a point where the story was almost done, so for me, this was a treat, especially as there are not too many killer titles on the PS4 as of right now.
    In terms of the changes, the graphics and textures have been rebuilt with the PC version of the game in mind. Lara's character model was completely redesigned, and she looks stunning. Things like the Tress-FX hair mechanic, the topology remapping, and subsurface scattering that gives her skin a believable glow… All of this makes for an incredibly immersive experience. This as I said, was one of the only major changes, but it makes for a more integrating experience, and makes Lara an even more believable character.

    The Definitive Edition includes all DLC that was released for the last version of the game, which mostly consists of content for the much overlooked multiplayer.
    Critics seem to think the Multiplayer has near to no value, but the games that I have played take the elements of gunplay and platforming from the campaign and marry them fairly well with a 4v4 multiplayer. Don't get me wrong, the campaign is where you will be spending the majority of your time. However, the multiplayer does offer a pleasant diversion which can be enjoyed with friends.

    All in all, the Definitive Edition of Tomb Raider is one of the prettiest versions of one of 2013's best games.
    If you want it, get it. If you don't, bugger off and stop calling this a scam.

    The RPG elements and weapon upgrades are rewarding and combat is fun. Even playing on Hard, it wasn't quite as challenging as I would like, but I enjoyed every minute of this game. Finding relics and picking up journals to flesh out the story along the way just added to the fun.

    My only real complaint is that I was constantly annoyed by not being able to make a rope ladder. I have rope arrows, so why can't I just shoot it into one of the many sticking points and climb up? I gave it a 9 because of the lack of rope ladders, which should explain how absurd I think it is.

Lots of people are hating on the 60 dollar asking price for a game that came out last year, but having played some of the other last gen-current games this one really tweaked some of the fine details and is as great of a system show-off as Killzone (and a lot more fun to play). I have been looking forward to this game since I missed Tomb Raider the first time around and it did not disappoint. It's a must buy for any PS4 owner who hasn't played it and is in desperate need of a new game since we are only getting about one a month this year.… Expand

    This is by far the best Tomb Raider game to date. The graphics are amazing, the game play is smooth and the story is excellent. I did not play it on the PS3 so I cant compare the graphics but on PS4 they are amazing.

    so people give this game a negative review because it has Quick Time Events , thats just sad , honestly this game is quite good , i owned the ps3 version before this version and its a huge upgrade , first of all the graphics are breathtaking running at 1080p 60fps for most of the game , second of all its much easier to find the hidden collectibles because the game has better lighting inso people give this game a negative review because it has Quick Time Events , thats just sad , honestly this game is quite good , i owned the ps3 version before this version and its a huge upgrade , first of all the graphics are breathtaking running at 1080p 60fps for most of the game , second of all its much easier to find the hidden collectibles because the game has better lighting in darker areas of the map then on ps3 , i had a hard time finding them on ps3 now they are pretty simple to find , the added touch pad and voice commands add a new dimension to the game and are quite simple to use , if you haven't played this game on any other old gen console , you will love it , it reminds me of Uncharted but with added quick time events added , there are lots of treasures , relics , maps to find and over 10 hidden tombs to explore , puzzles challenges , this game will keep you busy , the multi player is also not too bad , you can set up private matches if you prefer to get the trophies on your own , anyways overall it looks great , plays great , and the replay value will keep you busy for many hours definitely worth the price tag… Expand

    A great game made better. Worth the extra cash if you've already played it? No, but that doesn't take away from how good it is.

    I will start out by stating I am writing this review based on the merits of the game itself. If you dislike the price or the promotion of the game you should note that in the review but it should not change your rating of the game as that is based on content alone. The game looks better than its previouis gen counterparts, particularly Lara's animation.

The game looks better than its previouis gen counterparts, particularly Lara's animation. While there is slight overkill with the QTE's the varied gameplay mechanics are a welcome departure from previous TR titles where it was mainly a focus on puzzles and platforming, with a couple spots of run and gun thrown in. The vulnerability of the main character continues to be the biggest selling point of the story. At every turn Lara becomes isolated and must dig deep to accomplish the necessary task. Graphics are not the best on the next gen but the lush environments almost make it seem so as they pop off the screen. As far as the publisher issue no one is making people rebuy this game. If you want to then go for it. It was created for next gen owners who didnt play TR the first go round with the hopes of a few double dips. Cash grab? Maybe. Should that lower the merits of the game or its rating? Nah. I give it a 9.… Expand

    Loved it on PC last year and although nothing new has been added to the story, it's still a very compelling buy.

    If you already own the non definitive edition, you can skip this one, otherwise it's truly worth grabbing it up!

    Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition isn't some quick cash-in like Call of Duty
    Pros:
    -Good story plot
    -Well told story
    -Smart A.I.
    -Great Gameplay
    -Well Voice Acted
    Cons:
    -Graphics aren't up to par (but who cares about graphics anyways)
    -Some Animations are a bit sloppy at times

    I must say, that this is a very good game, maybe the best I played since last summer. Maybe not because graphics, I think the Xbox One could do a lot more than this. But the storyline and the gameplay is in my opinion very great, you can play offensive and also "defensive". The AI is challenging if you play on hard i think and also the discoverable objects, which give you more story background are well done.
    Of course, it's a remake of an Xbox360-Version, so I wouldn't buy this for Xbox One if I had bought the game for Xbox360.
    All in all my opinion:
    + Good story plot
    + Well told story
    + Well AI for every type of gamer
    + Nice gameplay
    + Quite good graphics...

    I finally managed to beat this game. I first got it on a sale on the PC but never got around to beating it. When amazon had a sale on this game for the PS4 I jumped on it.

This game is an upscaled port, nothing more (other than the DLC).I finally managed to beat this game. I first got it on a sale on the PC but never got around to beating it.

This game is an upscaled port, nothing more (other than the DLC). People who rate it down (below a 5) because it's an upscale port and not a new game are well...not the brightest individuals.

    I honestly don't know how long it took to beat (I didn't keep track of the hours) but I would say that the game had medium length. There was never a dull moment in the game either. The graphics are amazing for a console game. Frame rates were pretty smooth but I did notice a few drops during some scenes. Nothing to downrate the game for.

    I thought that the new face was nice. It gave more life to Lara. I love the voice commands. But I did notice that sometimes it would randomly pause the game when I had the fan on. I never was into the old school Lara Croft games (I'm 24), but I really enjoyed this game. This game is probably the most underrated game that I have ever played. It's such a shame that people are downrating it due to the price.

    Pros:
    +Graphics
    +Controls
    +Voice Commands
    +Includes all DLC
    +Game length is perfect
    +Fun gameplay
    +Great story
    +Great performance

    Cons:
    -Price (not worth it to down vote the game)
    -Some issues with voice command if you have background noise
    -Although the story was great, I felt that the ending didn't do the game justice. Especially the final boss "fight".

The only frustration I went through is dying due to my own mistakes, whether I didn't aim properly or I didn't take cover. "Cover is your friend." I would have like to see my hand to hand combat. I would have also liked them to expand a bit more in the sand box area, while improving on the RPG elements, with better leveling up of Lara's abilities. All in all, this is a good game and is a good pick for those looking for a action adventure game. It may not fully stack up to Uncharted in the cinematic department but still a must play. Even with its small short comings, this game will have you routing for Lara, from start to finish. Also, this version of Lara is WAY easier to look at than the beach ball chested version from prior games.… Expand

    Story- great, but nothing special. Great main protagonist and interesting side characters,but bland antagonist.

    Graphics- one word= beautiful. The island Lara is stranded on (that I forget the name of) is amazing and very detailed. It's obvious that the developers put a lot of time and effort into creating a beautiful and detailed world. Lara's model is one of the best and she (and her HAIR) looks even better in this remake.

    Gameplay- one of the most fun experiences I've had in a video game in a while. The combat is fluid and fast-paced. Upgrades are available for all weapons and skills. One negative is the amount of QTEs during combat.

    My one major negative is the multiplayer which is still as bad as the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.    … Expand

    This game is worth the full price if you have yet to experience it on any previous platforms. But is it worth a repurchase, not really, you're pretty much paying a new game's price for better graphics.    … Expand

    I was absolutely wowed by this game the first time I played it through because I was paying so much attention to the cut scenes and redesigned Lara Croft was a joy to behold...But having had a year to sit and consider the game's broader meaning, the second time around the game's flaws are all the more apparent.
