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 What I mean by this, is the game has so many outdated mechanics and tropes that were very common at the time.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    Anyway, despite the outdated features, the core game was really enjoyable and a very pleasant surprise overall.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.

    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.

    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."

    I loved the game, really. I loved the reboot, even if I think that the exploration part of the older episodes is a keeper. But seriously... This version is the biggest rip-off ever.

    Basically, you're being charged double price because Lara's model has been remade, and in my opinion, she looks less like a survivor this way. BUT THAT'S IT. This is the only difference this version offers. Everything else is the same. It plays the same, it looks completely the same (at least between PC and XB1/PS4 versions, concerning X360/PS3, it is only a matter of sharpness). THIS IS the game of the year version on X360/PS3/PC, at double price.

    But how on earth do they dare say it is a whole new experience ? Is it because there is a speaker in the PS4 controller ? Because on some climbing scenes, you can control the camera or examine relics with Kinect ? I won't even bother mentioning the useless voice commands...

    Now, if you really want to compare the XB1 and PS4 versions. Well... The XB1 version is a joke. I'm sure it could have been technically improved. Because the game is broken, multiplayer is unplayable, and noticeable framerate drops happen. This is not because the console is of lower performances, but the reason is it has been optimized like mixing beef jerky in a Nutella sandwich. PS4 version is okay, but still under what a high-end PC can provide.

    The thing is... For those who played the PC version, just don't bother. Seriously. And for the people who did it on X360/PS3, you can definitely wait for its price to drop. Don't allow the editors to get away with this. I came to finish it for achievements, and returned it right away.

    I loved Tomb Raider series! They were best. BUT this one is HORRIBLE! Tomb Raider is RUINED because of that game! And even if you exclude Tomb Raider basic idea and everything and you will look it just simople ordinary game - this game will be still really really really bad! Do not waste your money!

    Very fun action. Puzzles are not to overwhelming. Very story driven but it neither takes over your play time nor does it leave you thirsting for more. Its just right.
    Only complaint is that I had to hit RB so many times to find stuff in the environment. Should figure out a different way.

    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.

    The same game looking better - and offering a deeper immersion into Lara's island nightmare. [Issue #239]

    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.
