    Played this now in 2023 having played Tomb Raider games earlier as a child. The optional tombs were good. The story too felt engaging. Perhaps playing it 10 years after its release made the graphics look a tad weak. Overall very playable.

    I love cinematic games. But I typically do not replay them, but I've replayed this a whole bunch. I love the feel of a Indiana Jones type adventure.

The combat is gritty and feels great, the traversal is fun and clever, the puzzle solving and tools given to you are just difficult enough and always fun to figure out on your own, the action set pieces in this game are incredible and epic, and the story is compelling. 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

    Magnificent story, graphics and music.
    However some of the dialogue and clichês are a little cringe.
    Had lots of fun nonetheless.

    Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. Campanha: Tomb Raider tem uma historia incrivel com personagens bons mas não aparecem por muito tempo, um combate muito bom, e exploração de tumbas e recompensas que deixa a desejar. Conteúdo adicional: Multiplayer ruim, DLCs que disseram que tem mas não tem.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Decided to revisit this game in 2021. I had fun but the game has aged poorly and suffers from terrible story pacing.

    Pros:
    Game is fun to play and combat feels smooth. Fps boost is really nice and overall the experience seems to hold the 60fps target. Some of the set pieces are really awesome. Cons:
    The resolution is awful and is still at 1080p (maybe 900p). Because of this the overall experience is muddy and pixelated. Gameplay loop is extremely repetitive. The game is far too long overstaying its welcome by at at least 4 hours. The story pacing is just not good. The beginning cutscene does almost nothing to set the stage and just throws you imeediately into the ocean leading to an unavoidable cutscene. An hour or so in you finally get some explanation of why Lara is on the island. The first two thirds or more of the game center around finding your crew members. Along the way a few of them die and the game tries to make this out to be super tragic but has done nothing to make us care for these characters. The level design has aged poorest of all. Often the levels make no sense and dont feel lived in. They are full of waist high cover and zip lines. Sure this facilitates gameplay but overall it just continuously breaks immersion. The game seems to try to straddle the line between supernatural and grounded but ultimately just settles on the supernatural in rather boring way.    … Expand

    This one, like it's predecessor, does everything that a tomb raider game should do. It's got great cliffhangers, great cinematics, some shooty bits, and some good puzzles.

    The first tomb raider game I had every played, and I was immediately hooked, and a fan. 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

    Второй перезапуск одной из самых культовых игр и персонажа в мире виртуальных развлечений ознаменовала именно эта часть в 2013 году.

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

    I've been a big fan of Tomb Raider since I was a little kid. Specifically, Tomb Raider II was the one I grew up with the most. I'd like to revisit those old TR games soon but for now, let's talk about the reboot.

Specifically, Tomb Raider II was the one I grew up with the most. I'd like to revisit those old TR games soon but for now, let's talk about the reboot. Now, I haven't played any Uncharted games to completion so I'm not exactly sure how similar this game is to those ones but if they're as similar as people say, I gotta check out Uncharted. I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It had some really fun platforming, rewarding puzzles, a decent story and most importantly of all, a sense of care. What I mean by that is how the player, at least me personally, cares for Lara. This poor girl gets her ass handed to her repeatedly, going through hours and hours of constant abuse and you just want to help her get out of this situation. You want to see her succeed, you want her to live to tell this tale. I think that's always been a big part of Tomb Raider ever since the original, even if it isn't often spoken about. Now, nothing about the game was groundbreaking. The action was decent, but a little heavy in my opinion. For the most part, I had a lot more fun solving puzzles and hopping around than I did shooting cult members. The game also reeks of 2013. What I mean by this, is the game has so many outdated mechanics and tropes that were very common at the time. Cover based shooting, hunting and crafting, a "tell me where to go" button, a tacked on multiplayer mode, skill trees and upgrades systems galore... you name it, if it was a trope from 2011-2013, Tomb Raider has it. Not to mention, the game is filled to the brim with explosive barrels.. I like that trope though and it's way older than the late 360 era.

    Anyway, despite the outdated features, the core game was really enjoyable and a very pleasant surprise overall. I especially enjoyed playing it even more after turning on the Philharmonic's compilation of music from the first three TR games called The Tomb Raider Suite. Really put me in that mood. I would've liked some more tombs to raid, but I hear there's more of that in the sequels. I look forward to beating them very soon.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.
