![]() The sound design is brilliant, whether it is the whistle of the wind or the loud bang of firing a shotgun. It's interesting to see her struggle play out and to help her through these horrendous situations. You feel every blow she takes, every hit she deals and it is rather exciting. The story is interesting and really puts you in the shoes of Lara and makes you care for her. Several in fact, and they are very satisfying and later have multiple uses. The combat is fun and satisfying and following the current trend of Bow and Arrow wielding heroes you get to use one. And the second thing that breaks the tone of realism is the fact that they decide to KEEP the mythological side of the Tomb Raider series and add in the Island from Lost and ghostly Samurai, because why not? However, as much as I've been complaining about this game it is genuinely a fantastic experience. In her she says nothing and continues on with her life, leading me to believe that she is a Psychopath and a Masochist. At least in Far Cry 3 at the end Jason Brody acknowledges the copious amount of blood he has spilt and has vowed to never do it again. She has slaughtered THOUSANDS of people by the end of the game and she crys about killing a deer and goes "Oh God" when she shoots another human being and that is about it. Firstly you have the RIDICULOUS amount of people that Lara kills during this game. And with all that it makes the game seem rather realistic, however this vision of Realism is shattered by two major things. Whether it be from being stabbed through the side with a stake, stabbing yourself with a burning arrow, being crushed by a rock or getting a wooden spike driven through your neck, you are going to have a lot of moments in this game where you cringe from the sheer brutality. And never in any video game ever I seen the main character been abused as much as in this game. In this game, the entire freaking island is trying to kill you, whether it be from conveniently placed sticks and spikes or the ground beneath you collapsing, Mother Nature is out to get you. And before I move on I must go back to Mother Nature. The puzzles are gone, and the platforming is really stripped down to scaling pre determined walls and traversing via rope one anchor point to another. ![]() And yes, whilst I realise this is a REBOOT, it still should have some feel of the originals. Because of the very strong willed but generally well humoured Lara Croft I grew up with all the gritty stabbing, shooting by tough grizzly men and the stabbing and shooting from Mother Nature who is your worst enemy in this game, it really makes this game feel incredibly out of place in the rest of the franchise. However, it doesn't really feel like that. First of all, this is a Prequel to the original Tomb Raider and shows her origins of how she 'because a treasure hunter'. And whilst I have my problems with that and other issues, I generally think this is a solid game. This new instalment in the Tomb Raider franchise is a far cry from what the original games were and is almost in no way connected apart from by it's name. And I also loved the character of Lara Croft who was a wise-cracking English treasure hunter with (in the original PS1 game) triangular breasts. I loved those games, with their interesting stories about Mythological Artifacts and Raptors, their fun, fluid combat system. You see, like most people around the PS1 era, I grew up with Tomb Raider. ğight to Live: Salvage resources, gain experience, and upgrade Lara's weapons to survive the island's hostile inhabitants.Lara Croft - Optional Tomb Raider Tomb Raider is an interesting little gem.Ěn All-New Raiding Experience: Explore a mysterious island filled with environmental puzzles, visceral combat, and ancient tombs to discover.Ě Turning Point: Experience Lara Croft's intense origin story from a young woman to a hardened survivor.Here begins the first adventure for a young and inexperienced Lara Croft in a story which charts the journey of an ordinary woman who finds out just how far she must go in order to stay alive.Īrmed with only the raw instincts and physical ability to push beyond the limits of human endurance, Tomb Raider delivers an intense and gritty story into the origins of Lara Croft and her ascent from a frightened young woman to a hardened survivor.
