The editors didn't like
Longer than the last outing but still a bit short considering there's really only the single-player campaign
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

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 that it...

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...
We never found one overall Rise of the Tomb Raider setting that impacted performance to a high degree. All the in-game graphics settings seem to be well balanced for performance and well optimized, especially when it comes to AMD's Radeon R9 Fury X with i...

Abstract: If it hadn't already been used in the title for the fourth Tomb Raider game, the word revelation would've been an accurate description for 2013's stellar entry in the long running series. It took Lara Croft, a character that had, more or less, been a mark...
Abstract: Clearly I wasn't the only one surprised by how great 2013's Tomb Raider reboot was. The franchise had seen a number of high and low-points throughout the years, with the lows coming a bit more frequently towards the tail end of the series. And while the r...
