MY REVIEW • 15.7 HOURS PLAYED
Tomb Raider
What I liked
I enjoyed seeing Lara develop from someone trying to survive into a much stronger character. The combination of exploration, climbing and combat keeps the game moving.
What I didn't like
There are times when the amount of shooting feels a little strange compared with the survival story the game is trying to tell.
Story
I liked Lara's survival story and discovering what was happening on the island. The mystery gives you a reason to keep exploring.
Combat & Gameplay
The bow was probably one of my favorite weapons because it works for both stealth and direct combat. Unlocking new equipment also lets you return to areas you couldn't reach earlier.
Exploration & Open World
The island has hidden areas, tombs and collectibles, although the tombs aren't as developed as they became in Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Final Thoughts
A strong start to the newer Tomb Raider games. Good story, fun combat and enough exploration to keep me interested throughout the adventure.
