    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 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

    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.

    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 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.

Going to its looting system, collectables... its a thumbs up and for its customization, for a game originally launched on ps3.. its a thumbs up. The characters are memorable and the protagonist... she is always been one of my favorites (there may be a little biased there) the story is not bad. Going to things that i dont like... the ending where they are trying to building up the game as introductory of Lara Croft or sort of a reboot... it didn't hit the mark for me.. it didn't connect... the enemy AI is not perfect... overall, its not a perfect game but its fun ane beautiful, i want to give it an 8.4 out of 10.

    Un Poco Dispar, Pero Entretenido.

    JUGABILIDAD:
    Como lo pongo en el titulo, la premisa es un poco dispar. Los desarrolladores pretenden vendernos el nacimiento de Lara, pero a la vez prefieren no perder tiempo y pasar a la acción. Inicialmente parece que tendremos que "sobrevivir" haciendo uso de exploración y caza, aprendiendo habilidades y creciendo como jugadores. Pero nada de eso aplica, ya que Lara es la típica protagonista que todo lo puede, desde el primer escenario.
    Sin duda muy desaprovechado.

    Eso sí, la jugabilidad no es del todo mala. Hay grandes secuencias de acción, grandes secuencias de misterio y un poco de terror. Aunque lo cierto es que algunas partes son muy exageradas y, como dije, no encajan con la historia que se está contando. Sí que hacen falta un par de Bosses, y los que hay no valen mucho la pena. Así mismo, los QTE dejan mucho que desear.

    Aún así sigue siendo un juego divertido, con grandes aventuras, un buen número de coleccionables, y muchos enemigos por vencer.

    GRÁFICOS:
    Si bien el juego se trata de una remasterización de un título para Playstation 3, el apartado gráfico sigue siendo decente al día de hoy: no va a quitarnos el aliento, pero sí cumple con una calidad suficiente para disfrutar de los modelados y escenarios.

    La narrativa sí que es brillante, cada cinemática y conjunto de tomas son dignos de una película 5 estrellas, y la dirección de las mismas sin duda será atemporal.

    SONIDO:
    La música es verdaderamente cinematográfica, las piezas son emocionantes e irradian aventura, y el doblaje es muy bueno, creo que uno de los mejores que he probado, y el uso de la bocina en el DualSense da un buen sabor de boca.

    Junto con las tomas visuales, hacen de Tomb Raider un juego totalmente disfrutable a nivel cinematográfico.

    INNOVACIÓN:
    Un juego de Playstation 3, remasterizado para Playstation 4 y que yo lo estoy jugando en Playstation 5.
    Poco hay que decir además de eso, pero sin duda me hubiese encantado probar este título en su año de lanzamiento.    … Expand

    Story

    Was very fun and the more it goes the better it gets. The mystery about it is very interesting. I am a bit divided in my opinion about Lara. I liked her looking and for the most part her relation to the environment. But her characterization is a bit to fast for me. I would have wanted a bit more time to see her grow in her struggle to survive.

    Gameplay

    All good. The shooting is fine, the riddle and tombs are very interesting and u can stealth kill most of the enemies. I would have loved if they contributed more to the survival aspect, more really necessary hunting and more.

    Scenery

    It looks really really good even in 2020. Lara is beatiful detailed and the isle has very goodlooking parts and you have some difference in it. But I would have liked more places to go to.

    Summary

    Good Game and way better than the Film 8/10.    … Expand

    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

    This is a great game with some really beautiful locations, an interesting story and a likeable main character. Maybe a bit too much of an emphasis on combat instead of exploration and tomb raiding. It doesn't seem like Lara Croft. I hope they go back to classic Lara after this trilogy. Still a definite recommend though.

    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.

    When I was younger the only tomb raider I ever played was the demo on the PS1. So I was very excited about a reboot and WOW. This game was awesome. Action packed and everything I would expect in a Tomb Raider Game. The environments to the Survival Tactics. And the Bow added to her arsenal was a very nice touch. Great game

    Tomb Raider Definitive Edition is an action packed adventure game with a fantastic gameplay and beautiful graphics. The story is a bit meaningless, but that was never the strong point of Tomb Raider games. A great game for fans of the Uncharted series or Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones enthusiasts like me.

    Lo he jugado dos veces: primero en la PS3 y después la versión remasterizada en PS4. El comienzo de una trilogía que dista bastante de la filosofía de los primeros Tomb Raider, pero que está en mi opinión, magistralmente ejecutada.
    Eso sí, hay que estar preparado para sufrir con Lara.

    This tomb raider episode gives a positive direction to the franchise. The story is interesting, a graphic is pretty nice, the gameplay is fun. It has very few bugs, glitches or annoying situations. Sometimes the puzzles are nonsense a little but they are forgivable.

    My specific score is 7.5/10, but I will give it an 8 for liking Lara Croft's character so much. I finished it on a PS4 a couple of weeks ago in 2021, and I just loved it. It was my first Tomb Raider game ever, and I was pretty satisfied with the overall game.

I finished it on a PS4 a couple of weeks ago in 2021, and I just loved it. It was my first Tomb Raider game ever, and I was pretty satisfied with the overall game.
    First, the graphics are still great, and astonishing for its release date. The environment visuals are quite appealing and worth some screenshots for wallpapers. The characters bodies and faces are pretty good, though not comparable to today's standards. Although not many people like the QTE, I personally loved them all for providing a dynamic variety to its gameplay.
    Secondly, the gameplay is pretty good, but not for everyone. The exploration side is similar to RPG's but limited and mostly necessary to improve the combats. Specifically the features to add skills and upgrades to weapons requires considerable amount of time hunting and searching for items. Personally I disliked the fact that I had to spend too much time on this "side quests" for upgrading features, though many people will find it entertaining as they explore the island. When it comes to combat, the mechanics and animations are fantastic; it was my favorite feature alongside the QTE: Neat, enjoyable, and not overwhelming enemies.
    Lastly, the story is appealing, but maybe not as much as its predecessors in the franchise or other competitors like Uncharted. The whole island mystery is enough to keep the player intrigued about the next part, but it doesn't create that hype that many other narratives have. The characters are not well-developed and Lara is clearly shown as the single main character in the game without much development for other ones, but still it's emotional at some parts.
    Overall, I recommend this game for anyone, but it's not a "must play" in my opinion. I would say that it could be a strong suggestion for PS4 owners, but it doesn't stand out as much as other titles in the Adventure-Action genre like Uncharted. Nonetheless, it's worth giving it a try if you liked previous Tomb Raider games or simply love adventure games. It's difficult to recommend this title In 2021 having so many other games that are more enjoyable on newer consoles, but it's excellent to get started into the Tomb Raider franchise, which is awesome as a whole.    … Expand

    I managed to get this game at a steal for £2.50 on the PS Store and for that price I couldn't say no. Even if I didn't like the game it wasn't exactly gonna be anything lost. I haven't exactly played a huge amount of tomb raider games. I played a few levels of the original tomb raider on the PS one and briefly played 2, 3 and underworld.

I played a few levels of the original tomb raider on the PS one and briefly played 2, 3 and underworld. When I was younger I wasn't so much into puzzle solving games but these days they are more enjoyable.
    So far TR definitive addition has been good fun. Been playing for a few hours and the game looks and feels great. I will update this review upon completion. Even if you pay full price at £15 I would still say that's a fair price for what this game has to offer. You find resources to upgrade your weapons. You find weapon parts to unlock more upgrade options. There is loads of different types of hidden collectibles that tell you things about different characters.
    A couple things I didn't like but nothing major.
    When you collect an item with text and it reads it back to you in that characters voice it comes out the TV and the controller making there be an echo from controller to the TV. You can disable the controller speaker in the menu but I don't understand why this was done.
    There is no option to crouch or sneak. Having it duck and stuff automatically around enemies makes the player feel like they have less control. I would rather have full control over dealing with enemy encounters.
    There is a lack of trophies/achievements. I have been playing for around 2 and a half to 3 hours. Found quite a few collectable and finished a few parts of the game and not had a single trophy. Apparently there is 51 but why isn't there any come up for doing anything story related. Like upgrade your axe, find the bow, open the doors to the tomb using the axe, kill your 1st deer, you get the message. Obviously I haven't removed points off my review for this but still it would be nice to have a trophy or 2 after playing the game for hours.
    I am not sure if this game really needs a sprint option. This is just an opinion and I haven't taken it into consideration with my score. It feels weird playing a game without sprint these days. Being honest thou the map is built well so you always got some near you so its not like you need to spend ages running from place to place. Although if they did include a sprint it would have been good aswell as it gives the player 1 extra form of control over the character. With the lack of crouch option there isn't many ways to actually control the character. The climbing and stuff is cool thou. You can of course jump, clamber, climb and so on. But when you are on the ground it's basically just move and shoot. I can understand why this approach was taken thou as this is a remake of tomb raider which had the same type amount of control over the character.
    But overall this game is amazing and the story is awesome aswell. If you are thinking about purchasing this game then for the price you can't go wrong. Even better if you can get it on offer.    … Expand
