The editors didn't like

  • The video memory at 3GB limits the GTX 1060 to 1920×1080 resolution
  • PrecisionX OC refused to launch for us after activation. We probably left overclocking performance on the table by setting our overclock manually by being unable to use the advanced overclocking features it offers
  • Gun battles seem overly used
  • Add little to core appeal
  • Lukewarm
  • Uninspiring story line
  • Very intensive on low-midrange systems
  • Performance issues in hub areas
  • Poison Arrows easily exploited
  • VR movement still tough to handle
  • New content completed in only a few hours
  • Some graphical glitches

  • Abstract:  I liked Tomb Raider (2013) more than I realised while I was playing it. The ways in which it divorced itself from the Tomb Raiders before it were distracting to me at first – pairing back the puzzle elements, streamlining the platforming, adopting scripte...

  • Improved Gameplay, Combat & Stealth Are Satisfyingly Fun, Characters Are Interesting, Enjoyable Semi-Open World To Explore
  • Story Could Be Better, Gathering Resources Can Get Tiresome
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider is one crazy, adventurous, story rich, intense, action game, and if you are looking for a break from the deluge of open world games lately, you should definitely check it out. I loved my experience and I loved the new tone of chara...

  • Great new enemies, Thrilling climax
  • Empty gameworld
  • Cold Darkness Awakened is a welcome change of pace to Rise of the Tomb Raider's usual rhythms. Though its gameworld isn't particularly interesting, it does a great job at escalating tension and resolves Lara's fight against an infected horde with an explo...

  • Exhilarating action, Spectacular visual and environment design, Original soundtrack and effective sound design, Stealth gameplay, Camilla Luddington as Lara Croft
  • Banal narrative, Inconsistent openworld areas, Excesses detract from core action gameplay
  • Rise of the Tomb Raider delivers finely tuned and thoroughly exciting action experiences, sometimes held back by contradictory elements.

  • Gorgeous visuals Lots of exploration and tombs Good pacing
  • Flat and predictable plot
  • It takes the best bits from the previous game and gives you more of that. More of the same is not always a bad thing in this case...

  • Hands down, Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of the best games I have played this year. Its story may not be as great as the first game, but it definitely made me love the franchise more because of its improved gameplay, graphics, controls and even sound. I...
