The editors didn't like

  • Not enough puzzle solving for some
  • Combat occasionally frustrating
  • Not all the DLC feels that essential
  • Blood Ties can feel like it's leading you by the nose
  • Far too many collectibles everywhere
  • It's very
  • Very similar to the previous game
  • Lara's ridiculous survival skills break immersion
  • Retreads familiar ground from previous title
  • “Survival vision” strips much of the challenge out of puzzles
  • Occasionally confused
  • Could be longer

  • Still a fantastic adventure, one year on, Smoother action and rock-solid frame rates, Surprisingly good Endurance mode, Enjoyable new Croft Manor modes
  • Not all the DLC feels that essential, Blood Ties can feel like it's leading you by the nose
  • The PS4 version isn't quite the definitive edition, but the smoother frame rate and more responsive gameplay makes a great Tomb Raider even greater. The new Blood Ties mode is an interesting adventure that gives us time to go deeper into Lara's back story...

  • Abstract:  We can finally see why Microsoft worked so hard to keep Rise Of The Tomb Raider as an Xbox One exclusive. The new title takes what the 2013 series reboot did and runs with it, expanding almost every aspect of the game into an all-out, action-packed romp t...

  • 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

  • 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
  • Expedition mode aside though, unless you are the sort of gamer that finishes a run through, ups the ante and goes again, Rise of the Tomb Raider should be considered as a one-off experience for the solo player. While some might moan about the fact...
