I cannot help to call this reboot of Tomb Raider in 2013 nothing but remarkable.

Do not get confused with my playtime, I already have played this game on Xbox one.

Rise of the graphics:

First of all, this game looks absolutely stunning. This is without doubt one of the best looking games out on the market now. Whether it is the lifelike snow where you can see the miniscule ice crystals, the way the sun rays shine through a massive cave system or the elegant painted on the walls of ancient tombs… It simply is just gorgeous. But also the small details will make you fall in love with this game, like Lara wringing her hair out after taking a swim.

Rise of the gameplay:

Rise of the tomb raider has smooth controls, comparable to the previous title. It plays the same but you have more options now: for the first time you can climb in trees (hello assassin’s creed) and more weapons are available. Especially the bow and arrow feel really good compared to the one in Tomb Raider 2013. By improving previous features and adding new ones, Rise of the Tomb Raider plays like one of the old tomb raiders but still has a pleasant fresh feeling to it.

Rise of the tombs:

In the previous titles, tombs were small caves where you could find some extra ammo or some goodies, or a little experience if you’re lucky. The tomb design in this game is really powerful and makes me wonder why they are optional. They all contain memorable puzzle that will provide variety from all the action. Don’t expect any mind-bending puzzles that force you to look up a guide, but they all are gold-grabbing-finger licking good.

Rise of the conclusion:

Crystal Dynamics created a dazzling exciting adventure which exceeds her predecessors in every aspect. A magnificent action-adventure game with more freedom, both in exploration and gameplay.

The real Lara has risen!

Uh, what? "True fans" buy it immediately? It's not like each version is dramatically different, they are all the same game. There are valid reasons to buy this game again, but "I want to own it on every console because I'm a true fan" is ludicrous, and a pretty big waste of money at full price. But hey, it's your cash, right?

I think this game is great for consoles, but not good for PC, because only a few PC can reach hardware requirement.

Finally not a fanboy! I always loved TR but this is the must boring tomb raider ive ever played. I also played on my xbox one with 20 to 30 fps and just below 1080p but all that a side it had no action and is nothing compared to 2013 version.

'Anything but remarkable' implies Tomb Raider is not a remarkable game. U could have use 'nothing but remarkable' to imply that the game is good. :steamhappy:

Good luck with your free game. Rise of the tombraider is already on Xbox.

I actually won this game in a giveaway so thats how I got it. And I didn't bother reviewing the performance because my pc really isn't the best.
