    This game is an incredible adventure. It nails the gameplay, story, and environment. Everything totally immerses you. It is one of the most beautiful (not realistic necessarily) games I have played on the xbox one. The campaign is, in my opinion, nearly flawless, although it doesn't really stretch any boundaries. Plus, the "open world" after you finish the campaign has little fun to offer.This game is an incredible adventure. It nails the gameplay, story, and environment. Everything totally immerses you.

    I absolutely love this game. The graphics improvement is beautiful and the game itself is one for the ages. It's absurd that people are upset that the price of this is $59.99...

Not everybody played it already and when I heard it was being improved for PS4/XOne I was ecstatic because it also gave me something to play on my brand new system with few launch titles.

    Stop calling this fraud and robbery. It's absolutely ridiculous. If you already played it why would you buy the new version? What would be the point. Remember when Half-Life was released on the Source engine? You didn't HAVE to buy it.

    Worth the money for newcomers to the title as well as non-petulant adults who want to see what the now current gen is capable of.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In short, the additional content isn't enough to make players who've already bought the 360 version want to upgrade (especially for the price), and isn't enough to change my review score for the normal "last-gen" edition as well. However, I must admit it does look wonderful on Xbox One, the slightly updated additions of DLC tombs and gear are interesting, and maybe once it drops to half price or less, others who aren't complete newcomers to the game will actually consider upgrading. All in all, a fine game and a worthwhile buy- moreso if you haven't already played the game, but great nonetheless.… Expand

    I didn't play this game on 360 or ps3, so it was brand new to me when I picked it up for X1. I was very pleasantly surprised by this game. The movement and combat is extremely fluid, the graphics are fantastic, the story isn't amazing but it works. All in all, I would highly recommend this game, and I'm really looking forward to future installments in this franchise. Great game!!

It's not a perfect (none re) and it probably could have done without the multiplayer, but by and large Tomb Raider brings Lara Croft back with a bang. Square avoids falling into the trap of being a Uncharted clone, and offers up an origin story that treats Lara with respect and sets the Franchise to be one to watch.

    Apparently you don't actually have to have played a game in order to write a review. The negative reviews on here are not helpful at all. I have played the game on 360, and I have never played it on XBO but if it's the same game but prettier, then it should get the same rating despite the price. If this game was $400 and it wouldn't change the score.

If you've never played the game before then this is the way to do so. However if you HAVE played it before then this is a much harder sell. The touched up graphics are all it really has to offer for returning players. While absolutely stunning, some visual enhancing isn't enough to justify a return. The DLC content only adds one new and very short optional tomb to explore and some costumes for Lara. The rest of the extra content is for the subpar multiplayer mode.

    So how does it hold up as a gameplay experience? This reboot takes the series in a new direction. It's a noticeable combination on Uncharted and Rocksteady's Batman games. As a result it is pretty familiar, but nonetheless thrilling. Especially since it manages to rival those games in several areas. Gaining new items that allow you to access new areas and find new treasures is still an addictive loop. Platforming Prince of Persia style is still a blast after all these years and the gunplay is on point with it's upgradeable arsenal. The more you do the more you can upgrade Lara with new abilities. Mix in the awesome set pieces and the single-player stays fresh throughout.

    The story backing up the single-player is also a new take for the series. It's a gritty survival story. One that doesn't shy away from brutality. The characters are fantastic and well acted. The only issue I have with the writing is that Lara comes off as rather dumb. It takes her forever to pick up on the oh so obvious scenario she's stuck in that anyone else would have picked up on ages ago. You'll know what's going on WAY before she does and that's kind of frustrating.

    The single-player portion of the package is fantastic. The multiplayer on the other hand, not so much. It's just to bland and generic. You'll unload a full clip into a player one time only to have them drop in two or three shots the next. Even with all of the extra DLC content, you aren't likely to stick with this experience for long.

    It's a mostly excellent game now brought to life by some of the most stunning graphics seen on consoles thus far. The extra content is appreciated, but ultimately not enough to entice returning players to part with their money unless they just need to experience the upgraded graphics. The game has the replay value to justify it I suppose. For new players though it's a no brainer to pass up the last gen versions of the games for what truly is this "definitive edition."

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.

It is a solid reboot of the franchise, but Lara being a homicidal genocide is a bit weird. She literally kills like 1200 people from beginning to end. If you explicitly play the game as close to a stealth shooter as you can, trying for 0 fatalities except when there is no other choice, the game still requires that you kill 400+ people. And that just feels wrong. I wish the game had allowed for a Thief style 'no blood on your hands' method of play. I get that the tomb raider has guns.

    The first tomb raider I played, and I really enjoyed it. Lara is a great character, and the gameplay was exciting. You should definitely play it........

    I never really liked this type of game but when I saw it for free through xbox gold I thought, ya why not. Great game!! First day I nearly missed work because I couldn't turn it off!! Very surprised at the game play and it is a great storyline.

    I confess that sometimes you have to forget that the Lara Croft you played in Play 1 is the same that you play in that game, but, is still a very nice game to play, with good graphics and some hours of good fun.

    Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition would have to be one of the best tomb raider games of all time.
    the ai is great and the story is actually interesting

    ótimo jogo. gostei muito, o jogo tem tudo de bom: ótima história, suspense, ótima jogabilidade, jogo realista de sobrevivência, um vasto mundo. amei o jogo, foi o primeiro jogo que eu salvei da série. sem falar que ainda tem o modo online que é muito bom.

    great game really makes Lara Croft as a character shine like she always was supposed to not just for females in games but in general she very influential in games I don't care about gender, race or religion I just care that she is awesome and the gameplay is awesome as well the story is great to just awesome all around

    Amazing game. Hands down the game of the year the year it was released. I had so much fun playing this game and have rebooted Lara Croft is by far an improvement in the old Lara on so many levels.

    Muy buen reebot de la saga. El juego tienes sus fallos (bugs) pero te engancha en muy corto tiempo y no te aburre. Las tumbas son simples pero tiene un monton de coleccionables. Buen sistema de exploracion

    Me fascinó el juego.. lo jugué por primera vez hace unos meses en la PS3 , y y el guión es brutal !! muy diferente a lo que conocía de TOMB RAIDER y de Lara Croft.. y su versión dpara la nueva generación es sublime.. y de lo mejor.. el modo online !

    I played this game when it first came out on 360 but only now have got around to giving the Xbox 1 version a spin. Six years have passed by and I was curious to see how things panned out. My impression was very favorable- Lara has certain kept her looks over the years.

    Pros- Awesome graphics, audio, voice acting and music Yamatai Island is a great setting with lovely atmosphere    I played this game when it first came out on 360 but only now have got around to giving the Xbox 1 version a spin. Six years have passed by and I was curious to see how things panned out. My impression was very favorable- Lara has certain kept her looks over the years.

    Pros-
    Awesome graphics, audio, voice acting and music
    Yamatai Island is a great setting with lovely atmosphere
    Plenty of epic set piece moments
    Nice and surprising amount of gore
    Lara's character modelling was top notch
    Nice alternate outfits to choose
    Right amount of collectibles to hunt in the game
    Flame and torch effect was neat

    Cons-
    Small/boring tombs with no puzzles/traps
    Repetitive human enemies
    Lack of deadly wildlife (only wolves)
    Weird sideways looking animation when walking straight
    Combat was epic but it became a waaaay overkill by the end
    Pointless XP system and limited scope of role play/upgrades
    Lara takes way too long to work out the reason for Sam's capture

    Despite the obvious flaws in the game structure it was a blast to play and stands head and shoulders above the follow up games in many ways. Thumbs up Crystal Dynamics.

    Well made and unique design. Fun tombs and a great although rushed at first story. It definitely has room for improvement (Rise of The Tomb Raider greatly did so) but is challenging puzzle-wize enough to keep you going,

    This is the closest you're going to get to Uncharted on Xbox. At least I think, I've never played those. Tomb Raider Definitive Edition is a gripping while somewhat predictable story. Certainly lacks substance when it comes to multiplayer because most of the games combat elemets are on the clunky side. BUY.

The fluid gameplay, the beautiful graphics and arts, the fantastic soundtrack and the story are very good!. There are more 40 hours for complete the 100% of the game in hard mode, and I liked so much!!, I didn't tired and there are still 18 achievements for me.

    This game kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time. Heart rushing action. First time playing a Tomb Raider game and it was amazing. There are areas of the game where I feel like I"m rambo and it does get hard cuase you have to kill 50 guys before you advance to the next area, but overall it's great.

Страшно подумать, но самая первая игра Tomb Raider вышла в далеком 1996 году. Для меня же Лара Крофт началась именно с 2013 года и тогда она на меня произвела неизгладимое впечатление. По качеству картинки, детализации и геймплея она стала на порядок лучше предыдущих частей. "Лара, я видел катастрофу, значит ты где-то рядом" - сказал один из персонажей игры и таким образом подвел красную черту под всем, что происходит с главной героиней где бы она ни была. Потому как за Ларой, в процессе прохождения Tomb Raider, тянется след из трупов и руин от начала и до конца игрового действа. Если она не сражается с толпой недружелюбно настроенных юнитов, то значит скачет по разрушающимся прямо у нее под ногами строениям, а то и всё сразу и одновременно. Tomb Raider нам практически не дает передышки, разве что в изредка появляющихся лагерях/костерках, где мы можем прокачать наше оружие и перевести дух. К слову, вооружение не очень богатое, но зато понятное: лук, пистолет, дробовик и автомат, которые мы можем прокачивать, благодаря чему на них появляются всякие дополнительные весьма полезные примочки. Игра до сих пор хорошо заходит, не смотря на то, что ей уже более шести лет и мы уже имеем две новые части, с более красивой картинкой. Да, конечно управление резковато и надо к нему привыкать, графика достойная, но всё же немного режет глаз своими намеренно четкими очертаниями. Но история и игровой процесс по-прежнему способны затянуть до самого финала.… Expand

If you get this game which I recommend you do, play it on the hardest difficulty, it makes Lara feel like a real person, and you feel like a kick ass glass cannon.

Combat and exploration is top of the **** line. The only critic I could come up with is the map is a bit too dark and has a lack of color that makes exploration difficult, and upgrading weapons becomes a bit too grindy, trying to find all the parts, and the grim look fits into the theme, so I'm just nitpicking because of how great this game is, BUY IT, when theres a spring sale on xbox I got it for 3 dollars and it's the best money you will ever spend… Expand

Perhaps the biggest positive about this game is Lara Croft. No longer is she an underdeveloped and over sexualized character. She has motives, a backstory, and real development and is treated with respect by the developers.

    The setting of the game is also great, the island is cool, dark, and varied in biomes. The enemy design is varied and gives you a bunch of fun and interesting combat encounters that requires real strategy.

    Also the game in 2022 still looks beautiful.

    I cannot believe this game goes for as cheap as it does, it is a must play. It looks great on current gen consoles. If you are looking for M Rated Uncharted this is the game for you.    … Expand

    If you never had the chance to experience the game a year ago, then the Definitive Edition is an absolute no-brainer. In fact, we’re even slightly envious of those people that waited, because Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is one of the Xbox One's best games.

    An undoubtedly successful next-gen makeup operation, delivering rich and vibrant graphics on an already great game. Nevertheless, this is a game suited only for those who never played the original one: the revamped graphics aren't enough to justify the admittance price if you already played it.
