Abstract: It is, if nothing else, a hell of a title. Rise of the Tomb Raider: it's got that hint of pulp-magazine shlock, of the lurid, post-colonial adventures of the class of fictional explorers and action-archeologists to whom Lara Croft owes so much.It works on...
Glorious environments to explore, A better thematic fit with the franchise, Solid stealth, combat, and platforming mechanics
Not enough puzzle solving for some, Combat occasionally frustrating
Action is this game's principle love and more than ever before it sits comfortably on the shelf next to the likes of Uncharted Lara is forever unearthing history's secrets, but maybe only now, in her second post-reboot outing, has the game's developer fu...
Multiple open-world maps to play in, loads of missions to complete, a great, traditional Lara Croft story, the return of tombs
Longer than the last outing but still a bit short considering there's really only the single-player campaign

So many game types, all delivered with panache, Breathtaking scenery, Tombs are exactly as they should be (minus blow darts), Just keeps delivering immensely highquality moments
Far too many collectibles everywhere, It's very, very similar to the previous game
While essentially a retread of its predecessor, Rise of the Tomb Raider is a magnificent adventure game, brilliantly combining action genres and letting you play the way you want to...
