Los que no me gusta es el detalle técnico, los FPS no son estables, se percibe sus cambios entre los 60fps a 40fps. Tiene un movimiento constante de la cámara al moverse que no se puede desactivar y el peor de todos es el error que corrompe tu partida y pierdes todo el avance. Lamentablemente me paso pero no puedo poner una mala puntuación por este detalle. Sin ese grave error seria un 10/10.

    The truth is that it is my first Tomb Raider game and I really liked the character of Lara Croft and her beginning in this new saga. The game puts you in different critical and action situations, also quite exploration.Interesting story.
    What I don't like is the technical detail, the FPS is not stable, its changes between 60fps to 40fps. It has a constant movement of the camera when moving that cannot be deactivated and the worst of all is the error that corrupts your game and you lose all the progress. Unfortunately it happened to me but I cannot put a bad score for this detail. Without that serious mistake it would be 10/10.    … Expand

    I quite liked this game but the gameplay was kinda bad sometimes. The graphics are great considering this game came out in 2014. The story is also a little bit weird at times and I didn’t understand some of it but it was still good. I love Lara Croft and think this game did a good job portraying her character.

    Adquirí este juego por que al ser fan de la saga uncharted me apetecían más aventuras de accion/búsqueda del tesoro y aunque debo decir que este juego para mi gusto no supera ni a uncharted 2 ni a uncharted 3 ha cumplido con mis espectativas, también tengo que decir que ha sido mi primer contacto con la saga.

    Juego impresionante, con unos gráficos muy buenos. Ambientación e historia excelente, varias armas con la gran utilización del arco. Lara Croft en estado puro, habiendo jugado al Rise Of The Tomb Raider y al Shadow Of The Tomb Raider, lo situaría entre medias de ambos pero más cerca de la excelencia de Rise Of The Tomb Raider. Un juego al que es imprescindible jugar.

    Very good game indeed and one of the best in the Tomb Raider franchise. Lara is the definition of badassery and strong female image, the story is awesome and the combat is great, the graphics are also very good.

    Gameplay, storytelling and Lara itself are really great. But i couldn't stand these action camera which is wiggling all the time. Because of that i couldn't play longer than 1 -2 hours because i got sick a bit. xD
    but that's probably just a personal problem.
    I also was kinda disappointed of the environment because it didn't looked like Japan. That was really sad. Still a solid game overall.

    The puzzle elements that made the originals great are sadly absent. Some of the sequences e.g. climbing to the top of the radio mast, look great. Gameplay is very repetitive, broken up by the truly awful cuscenes. And, as many others have said, Lara is (now) truly the worst character of all time.

    Juddery and just unplayable in general. The game almost plays itself, you just gotta keep pushing forward and press X every few minutes basically. Graphics are terrible. Visible frame rate drops. Store of TR is absolutely ridiculous. There's about 4 plane crashes in it

Other than that is was your typical Tomb Raider game. To this day I still think Tomb Raider is a lot better than Uncharted.… Expand

    I am a little bit torn between giving a 7 or 8 but decided to get for the 8. Tomb Raider is a great successor who likes the classic Tomb Raider feeling coupled with influences of Uncharted.

    I enjoyed this game overall for a fair bit but at the time I m playing it the graphics surely got a bit old and the gameplay is with 10hrs not over the top. I think this can be done within 8hrs if    I am a little bit torn between giving a 7 or 8 but decided to get for the 8.

    I enjoyed this game overall for a fair bit but at the time I m playing it the graphics surely got a bit old and the gameplay is with 10hrs not over the top. I think this can be done within 8hrs if you go straight. The story is not bad but the story telling could ve been a bit better. The game play mechanics are fine and also well guided. The weapons have enough diversity to be fun and the puzzles seemed fair though scarce.

    I did not have any bugs or frame issues on my PS4 Pro with SSD. Loading times are really fast. The presentational scripting is pretty decent and thos game play flow is not hindered too much by cut-scenes. Whoever likes Tomb Raider games will probably like this one too. Everybody else who wanders in footsteps such as Uncharted will most definitely also enjoy this game.

    I got the game on a recent sale für 5 bucks which is definitely worth it without having any doubts. The game is regularly on sale too, so if you can wait put it in your wish list and you ll probably get it within a month or too for a decent price drop.    … Expand

    I've just finished it today on PS4 - after doing it already on PC - and for me this is the best Tomb Raider ever ! The gunfights are perfect, and so is the adventure / research for all the challenges. You can go for it without asking !

    Not as bad as it could be.
    For reboot franchise the Main minus is the plot, and second one to many fight.
    Everything else in the game looks good, but the big picture doesn't do much for me.
    Last hours i just ran all levels, try end fast as i can.
    Definitive Edition look Very Nice, much better the plder(or pc) ver.

    Really really liked this game! The graphic is awesome, the gameplay is amazing and the level design is really good. The game lasts about 10-12 hours. But the plot is just meh. And all those seconds characters who I barely new as they didn't present me properly don't help the plot to feel as tragic and sad as it should. But the game, in pure "game aspects" is reaaally good! Yep!

    The upstep in visual detail from the older console versions is a nice bonus, but Tomb Raider didn’t need massaging. It’s the same well-realised action reboot for Lara Croft that came as such a pleasant surprise last year. It’s still well-written, sympathetic, exciting, beautiful, and just incredibly well-made.

    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.
