Tomb Raider is that kind of game that makes you feel like you are actually with Laura, discovering locations that only a few people have ever seen. I have been raiding tombs with her since the 90’s and every game keeps getting better and better.

I have enjoyed the reboot of the tomb raider series and this entry is no different. I really like the options of resolution vs framerate. I'm a framerate guy so I always chose that setting. The game runs wonderfully and looks great either way and the tombs and puzzles are plentiful and enjoyable.

Absolutely loved this game. The was more focus on exploration and less on combat this time around, and it felt like a great little throwback to the first game way back on the PS1. It has some issues, but overall it's a great game that will most likely get overlooked in this busy holiday season.

I love it... This is one of the best TR games ever made. The enemy/combat has not improve much, but it's still entertaining. I played it on hard for combat, exploration and puzzles, which made the game even more challenging and entertaining.

I really enjoyed the final installment in the Tomb Raider reboot (survivor) trilogy. This game builds on the gorgeous set pieces seen in the previous installments and takes it to a whole new level with bigger than ever locations. The Peruvian amazon jungle is beautifully rendered in 4K HDR on the PS4 Pro. The game has engaging side missions, tomb & crypt explorations and location based challenges. The artifacts, relics and murals (collectibles) offer a great insight into the Mayan, Aztec and Inca civilizations as well as on the Spanish conquest of 1600s and the Fawcetts' search for the Lost City of Z (SPOILER: Jack Fawcett finds the city albeit without his father Percy). In conclusion, I would recommend not only this game but the entire series to fans of single player 3rd person action adventure games.

Overall, not a bad game. The first hour or so was probably the highlight of the entire game. The action sequences were a blast, and the gameplay is the strongest it's ever been in the series. As well as the visuals, which are fantastic (played on a PS4 Pro on a 4k TV). My only complaints with the game are it's length (Main campaign + a few side missions done in just over 10hrs) and the story's pacing. There were plot points brought in early in the game that were later dropped, brought back, and dropped again. As for side missions, it's mostly just favors for people to earn XP and the occasional item reward. However, the challenge tombs are where this game shines. With puzzles and platforming challenges, these side quests almost overshadow the main game. In conclusion, it's a very good game albeit a bit short. If you are a fan of the previous entries into the Tomb Raider reboot, go for it. If not, maybe wait for a sale or take a pass on this one.

Stay away from the negative reviews. Even though this game is not an earth changing experience. This game is loads of fun. Great puzzles. Excellent combat. Just buy it, load it, and enjoy the lavish graphics and game play.

The graphics are excellent. Beautiful scenes and backgrounds. The story is mediocre and the action/fighter are below expectations. Too little fighting and they are rather easy even on the harder modes. The puzzles are good. Over enjoyable but not a lot of replay value.

Great graphics, good story line, faithful to the series. My only complaint would be forcing me to return to areas by not allowing access to necessary equipment until later in the game and not MARKING the areas as needing that equipment when you have found them (Grrrr).

Great installment to the franchise. It feels like Lara is really coming into her own as a survivor and explorer, but the world/enemies are rougher than ever. Particularly the puzzles. Some of the best since the reboot.

I enjoyed the first two tomb raider games and absolutely loved the improvements in gameplay and story. I hope there's a 4th game in this series. Really loved the customized difficulty levels as well.

Please note that I am a big fan of single player games with largely linear storylines so this is right up my alley. The latest incarnations of the Tomb Raider series obviously borrow heavily from the Uncharted series but I consider that a good thing. At this point the gameplay is well refined and the controls for both movement and combat have never been smoother. The story is solid and Lara is definitely a more complex character this time around. The only drawbacks in my opinion are the poor voice acting of all the peripheral characters as well as the annoyingly small writing in menus and dialogue screens. This seems to be a trend with games and I don’t understand it.

Beautiful graphics, gripping storyline and memorable characters. This is the final chapter of the trilogy and in my opinion, the best. If you're a Tomb Raider fan, this is a must!

More Tombs, Less Gun Shoot-Outs!

Out of the 3 most recent re-iterations of the Tomb Raider series, this one is by far my most favorite and the most true to the original iteration in my opinion. I generally don't mind gun shooting in video games but am happy to see that they opted to replace gun-shootouts with more stealth-based combat. I am also happy to see the developers replace more combat scenarios with more puzzle solving scenarios via more tombs and crypts which can be quite complex. I find this conclusion to pre-Tomb Raider Lara incredibly rewarding and shows off the amazing talent of Eidos Montreal that lacked in the previous 2 games.
