Why not put the Tomb Raider franchise to rest in a tomb of its own already?

Rise of the Tomb Raider improves upon its predecessor, Tomb Raider (2013), most noticeably in replay value. Otherwise, Rise of the Tomb Raider is identical to the previous game for better or worse. Cr… Read more

Rise of the Tomb Raider

This game is one of the most improved sequels I can remember playing in recent memory. The first game was fine, an enjoyable action game and perfectly fine way to spend some time. This game is somethi… Read more

A solid game, above average, but doesn't stand out.

Some of the problems I had with TR 2013 have been dealt with, but only partially... Tombs are better, a little larger and more intricate, and give you more interesting rewards (special abilities). But… Read more

Rise of the Tomb Raider - A fun ride!

Rise of the Tomb Raider is a welcomed followup to this much deserved reboot of a trashy franchise. It starts strong, constantly evolves and does not overstay its welcome. I've always been a fan of Ind… Read more

Succeeding just as much as she stumbles, Lara Croft is back on the case

With a title like Rise Of The Tomb Raider , you might think this would be the first game in it's series, however you would be mistaken. As a sequel to the 2013 surprise hit (at least for me, personall… Read more

Rise of The Tomb Raider Indeed....

It incorporates every thing that made the first one great and improves upon them immensely. Also the 20 year edition on PS4 bundles together roughly 50$ worth of DLC's and includes them for one low pr… Read more

An incredibly fun adventure done right

Rise of the Tomb Raider is perhaps the most fun I've had with a game of this type since Uncharted 2, if not ever. In many ways it feels not only like a truly proper evolution of the first game; better… Read more

Constant Plateau of the Tomb Raider

Rise of the Tomb Raider is another example of the bland, big budget game. While the combat can occasionally be a little too loose, the climbing and exploration gameplay is engaging and the set pieces… Read more

Rise of the Tomb Raider

To be honest right up front , the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider was the first TR game I had ever played. I thouroughly devoured that game, beating it multiple times and on different platforms and difficu… Read more

Beige Is the Warmest Colour

Rise of the Tomb Raider is a well oiled machine, where it’s many moving parts all fit together nicely and the whole thing runs smoothly doing exactly what it was meant to. Many years of practice and e… Read more

This game rose above its predecessor to create a even better experience.

The introduction flashback actually takes place in Syria before sending the player back to Siberia for the rest of the game. Following up a fantastic reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise is no easy tas… Read more

It would be an honor to be buried in this tomb.

One year has passed since Lara Croft's experience on a desolate island that killed nearly all of her friends. She's struggling with the experience and finds herself becoming obsessed with her late fat… Read more

Still surviving, still great fun

"We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself, the means of inspiration and survival." -Winston Churchill With the release of the excellent 2013 Tomb Raider reboot we witnessed Lara Croft go throu… Read more

Baba Yaga DLC review

Rise of the Tomb Raider's first DLC loses itself amongst glitches and poor quest design. The sequel's first DLC already has one thing in it's favor over any of the DLC for the 2013 reboot: single-play… Read more

Rise of the Tomb Raider Review

The adventures of Lara Croft have never been as fun or looked as good as they do in the latest release from Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics, Rise of the Tomb Raider . What Rise of the Tomb Raider off… Read more

A Steep Rise in Quality

While many enjoyed the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider, I was not a big fan of it. I can admit that it was a well-made product, but the different elements of the game just never really came together. Even… Read more
