The movement feels tight and fluid, and I can only think of one occasion where I felt like I was fighting against the game, which is a low number for an adventure game of this size. Where the game really shines is the animation while Lara is traversing the world. It does add a little backtracking to the game, but with the fast travel system, it isn’t a problem. An example would be using guns to destroy barriers, or a breathing apparatus that allows Lara to stay underwater longer. Rise of the Tomb Raider uses the “Metroidvania” style of locking off areas before you acquire the correct gear to tackle the tombs. In addition to new abilities, Lara will also gain access to new gear by either constructing them with the new crafting system, or by acquiring new gear from locked boxes spread throughout the world. They are not required to complete the game. But the game is very clear that the tombs are optional. It makes these tombs almost vital to Lara’s survival. The tombs are presented as ancient knowledge that she gains, which is a small touch I enjoyed. These abilities make her faster, stronger, and smarter. Each tomb requires the player to solve a puzzle that gives Lara a unique ability. One complaint from the 2013 game was the lack of tombs, and Crystal Dynamics has responded to this complaint by giving the player numerous tombs. These hubs are filled with hidden relics, ancient coin caches, crypts, and most importantly, tombs. Each of these locales serve as a semi-open world hub that feature massive areas for Lara to run around and explore. Lara’s adventure takes her to many unique locales throughout Siberia. Let’s start with the adventuring part of the game. Jumping around ledges is equally as fun as hunting down Trinity soldiers with your bow-and-arrows and makeshift weapons. Each aspect of the game is done so well that it is hard to choose one over the other. There are two activities that you’ll spend a majority of the time participating in: traversing ancient areas and fighting Trinity soldiers. It is one of the best action-adventure games ever released. The supporting characters are interesting, with the main villain being incredibly creepy and a fantastic foe.Īs it should be with any video game, the gameplay of Rise of the Tomb Raider is by far the best part of the entire package. But then you remember that Lara spends all her time looking over ancient documents, and the questions settle. Her knowledge is incredible, which makes you wonder how a person can know so much about obscure topics. She is now more confident in her actions, and a few moments in the game have her taking control of situations that didn’t seem to happen in Tomb Raider. Lara is the strongest character in the game, and she has matured quite a bit. The story in Rise of the Tomb Raider is written well.

Events are in place for a cat-and-mouse chase between Lara and Trinity that takes the young adventurer to Syria for a brief moment, and then to Siberia, where Lara will spend a majority of the game. The Divine Source is an old relic that is said to grant the power of immunity. It wouldn’t be a video game without an enemy, and this time it is Trinity an ancient religious order set on finding the Divine Source. Lara is determined to find the city knowing it exists after the events on Yamatai. With her father’s obsession on the lost city, it destroyed his credibility within the academic community. The reason isn’t to further her own study of archaeology she is trying to set the Croft name right. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara sets out to find the lost city of Kitezh. But the events on Yamatai have changed Lara forever. She had grown in a posh household with her father who was famous for his archaeology work. The Lara in Tomb Raider was new to this survival stuff. She knows what needs to be done, and she takes care of it without hesitation. But Lara is different from the 2013 Tomb Raider game. Here is Lara the short but strong adventurer up against a huge brown bear. Lara needs to dispose of the bear to reach her objective. While traversing the foot-and-a-half deep snow in Siberia, Lara Croft comes face to face with a brown bear.
