I hate this over done action scene trope … If you want to design a running scenario with things being destroyed why does it have to be a helicopter shooting endless bullets while you jump through them and surf on missiles 🤷♂️
This reboot series is honestly incredible. I haven’t gotten to this one yet, but i’m thoroughly going through the Definitive Edition trying to get 100% and honestly, it’s near perfect. It balances old school platforming with cinematic spectacle and exploration, I love it. Don’t see any real comparisons to Uncharted honestly, it feels and plays way different, and has a different style to how it approaches its game world
Honestly I haven’t played this one but the 2013 game was awesome and I hesitated to pick it up but if it’s like that one I’m all in and then I’ll buy shadow of the tomb raider
Yes, this game was really good. I thought the cover and aiming felt a little clunky compared to the last one, but still perfectly functional. Some of the combat scenarios were also pretty trite; the game excelled when it let you do your own thing at your own pace. I'd like to see the stealth elements taken even further, and linear shooting galleries dialed down in the future.
First playthrough of RoTTR I did was only focusing on the story and the tombs. Pretty quick and overall good. Second playthrough I did almost a year later I focused on actually hunting, collecting and exploring all the open areas and i took it slow enough to enjoy the environment because daym, dem graphics. This turned out to be soo good that i couldnt let it go till i was fully done with everything. So my "pro-tip" will be: take your time. Do every sidequest and enjoy the scenery. And dont be afraid to turn up the difficulty. It gives it an even better experience
Im seeing it on psn store for 20.99 and contemplating if I should get this and carry on my (must beat all tomb raider) legacy or just get the new one releasing sep 14...Help me decide someone!!
Hakim Durand You should first play Rise of the tomb raider. So you can learn some new stuff that might be used for shadow of the tomb raider. But do whatever you would like
Why fix what isn't broken? Too often I see developers change what works from a previous game and waste a lot of time doing it. The focus should be tweaking the annoyances (along with story, etc. of course), not changing systems that worked just fine so you can later say "hey look, different game!". I loved the reboot (just wish there had been more tombs), I have no doubt I will love this game even more from the sound of it.
I'm playing it in 2023.. still it's a great game to play.. I've played hundreds of games since 2 years ago.. and this game will be in my top 20 games that I've experienced.. some games are worth your time, and this game definitely was worth my time.. I spent around 40 hours on it
Similarly, just put 33 hours into this over the last couple weeks, really had a great time. Only mild downside has been some awful crashing in certain places, but that aside, it's been grand.
To me, theres nothing wrong with keeping mostly all the exact same game mechanics (fixing them in some places) and improving everything else around them. In fact I think its a great model for making sequel games over the span of a generation as long as refreshments are added (environment, story, weapon variety, new mechanics etc).
I actually also got for my birthday, I actually thought it was Xbox One exclusive (which tore my heart) until one day my mum walks in like "Oh, happy birthday, here's your present" and I practically fainted xD
WOW What a game!!! Yes it was originally an Xbox One exclusive last year which really pissed me off at the time, since I thought they would lose so much money on leaving out the PS4. This game was worth the wait and then some! I still prefer the original if only slightly but this is still one of the very best games I've ever played. Currently, I'm at 95% on the main game, trying my best to find the little things I missed the first go around.
Joe S I still feel like they might lose money because fewer people might buy because the year long wait might kill the hype It did still sell well though, around 4 million+ copies on Xbox One and PC a month after re it's release but those could have been a lot higher if it was released on both platforms (XO & PS4) Yes, Rise of The Tomb Raider is absolutely fantastic, probably my favourite game, after The Last of Us.
I find it difficult to dedicate time for playing video games nowadays, and when I do have the time I still feel so disinterested in actually playing… Yet the Tomb Raider games have always had me hooked!
I just beat the main story today and I absolutely loved it, it was a great story and it took me a few days to complete. There is tons of fun side quests to do and I agree, anyone with an Xbox one should buy this game.
its an awesome game and i highly suggest you raid 90% of the tombs before going to the next story objective. personally i had the tier 2 skills before I was 10% done with the game.
Got this for a steal at $11.99 off Steam last week. It was the 20th anniversary edition with all DLC as well. Was worth waiting out for. Finally upgraded my GPU to a decent one to be able to play it.
+gameranx Or, if you have the money to have all systems, stop paying in to this exclusive BS. It only acts to create fanboys and general gamer dissatisfaction. For instance, I really wanted GTA V for the PC but when it took so long to appear I realized that I could do without... perhaps when it's on sale for $4.99 I'll get it. Until then, when we must play third party to exclusives, no money from me to them.
I've been in love with Tomb Raider since I was a child and though there will always be a special place in my heart for the old games, I feel it was about time Tomb Raider got reinvented. I loved the first reboot but I did feel some things were missing that shouldn't have been missing, like the actual tomb raiding. Though I can kind of forgive it because this is a reinvention of Lara and these games are serving as her origin story. Rise was an excellent improvement. The side mission were side mission but they were still kind of necessary for upgrades, skills, etc... so I consider the side missions as part of the game play. It slowed the game down nicely and the semi open world made the game feel like Tomb Raider heaven for me. It's not perfect, but I deeply appreciate this game. It brings the old stuff I loved with all the stuff I wished for when playing the old games. Best of both worlds. My only complaint was the combat in this one. Lara felt too efficient of a killer to the point where anything related to stealth felt unnecessary. Though the amount of combat was good for me as the first one had combat up the ass. The story was great. It was the first time I ever got into a game story, even for Tomb Raider. The cliffhanger at the end was EVIL!!! Already can't wait for the next game.
I am by no means or any sense of the word a "gamer". My husband fully owns that title in our household. But when he finally decided to buy a PS4, he decided to buy me the last 2 tomb raider games ( Tomb Raider:Definitive Edition and Rise of the Tomb Raider) so that I wouldn't feel like I was just a spectator to his gaming. I absolutely LOVE both games! The graphics definitely improved in Rise, but both were so much fun! I felt like such a bad ass and I was able to connect to Lara and her stories in both games. They did an amazing job and I can't wait to see how the movie turns out!
I just beat the game, and honestly it was a surprisingly pleasant experience for someone who's only ever been a fan of the PS1 titles. Getting Shadow next because of the jungle environment, then playing 2013 with PS Now. ;)
When I got rise of the Tomb Raider for my ps4 the details on it was so cool and when you climb on like moutions sometime look far so beautiful I'm glad they really wanted focus on the story mode and with extras in the game.
+RemoteBattery To be honest with you, this is the reason i never follow the hype on games anymore, since Skyrim. Played the game and just didn't enjoyed. too much noise and hype for something that is not even that good. Same with Fallout 4 just boring as fuck. Just imagine if Half Life 3 comes out, a lot of people are waiting for this for too long, and BOOM! Not even good.
+danny ingersoll I am really getting sick of all of you. "Fallout 4 is worst game of da yar!!!!1!" Fallout 4 is fantastic, and I'm sick of everyone hating it because it's different. It's an improvement on almost every aspect of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, which everyone treasures as sacred.
Just played the demo on PS5 and immediately bought it for 6 euros. What a bargain. It looks, sounds and plays better than various recent games. I find it more fun and immersive than God of War Ragnarok.
Best game of the genre I've played since Uncharted 2. It's amazing in every aspect. Just buy it. I'm not even done with it yet and I feel sad knowing it's gonna come to an end soon. Hate when that happens.
My favorite thing in RotT that a lot of newer games seem to have? The enemies are NOT bullet sponges. I mean, get shot in the head, you're going to drop. Get shot in the leg, you're going to limp. Get shot in the arm, it's useless. We need more of that.
Just played and finished on PS4 pro. It's a game. With an ok story. And like he said the optional tombs are really fun. Where you can learn to make Greek fire. And get a whole slew of helpfull skills and equipment. But yeah still in late 2019. It holds up great.
On point with the commentary. Tomb raider and rise of tomb raider are the only games I actually enjoyed collecting everything 100%. The rewards are massive and the quests are fun!! Catching chickens?? Haha dope!!!
I've played this game, I love it... And especially the humor. (Rotisserie chicken, throw a chicken and shoot it with a fire arrow. Cluck, cluck, a card granting a bow with chickens as arrows. Chicken bomb, a card that makes thrown chickens explode on impact.) Also... The animations that the NPCS have when they eat.
I bought this the same day as fallout 4. Had extra trade credit. Just started this tonight. Why have I not played this earlier!? I played the reboot too many times through and feared this would be more of the same. It is, but improved and optimized. The graphics are insane even for the Xbox one, and the controls not feel as loose as in the previous. Definitely worthy of a buy
+moooshroomdragon king (mooshroomdragon) Its a lot easier to like if you have a love for the older games as well.. Personally though, although I loved the reboot and the older games (The older ones especially) I have to say I'm not very exited about this one at all. I wanted to see more in terms of the way Lara moves while jumping and climbing, or just her movement in general as it looks VERY mechanical and unnatural. Also you spelt 'really' wrong.. Unless it was auto correct xD
Just started playing the game. I had a good chuckle watching the helicopter miss thousands of bullets and missiles but perfectly places a missile to break the tower that lara is zip lining on.
Is it recommended that I play Tomb Raider 2013 first before going for ROTTR ? Because I'm not at all familiar with anything regarding Lara and need to get the ground information on how everything started.
Just got the game today for 9.99 on sale with the dlc. This game is beautiful. I've never enjoyed most of the tomb raiders. But the stories.. lore.. treasure.. let's not forget bonfire safe points with fast travel (dsouls) but my favorite tomb so far.
@@nastyline9693 not really. It's been a while since I played the game, but I remember you can get everything you need to appear on the map, and the game makes it easy to see where you need to go. Now it is a 100% run so expect to be picking up a lot of Documents and Artifacts, but it doesn't get too tedious because most of them aren't hard to find, just explore the area and you'll find the secrets you are looking for. The game really does reward exploration. A deep crack in the side of a cliff could really be a Challenge Tomb with an upgrade or gear at the end. Hope this helped, happy Tomb Raiding!
Seeing Lara in a winter setting gives me a huge reminder if Ellie happened to grow up from The Last of Us seeing her in the winter section of the game.
I made the mistake of playing the first one, skipping this one (I had a PS4), and playing the third one. I like the third game a lot because it's a lot darker in tone compared to the first two. But this game is far superior in almost every way lol. I'm glad I finally played it
Krypton Games all games aren't just about graphics. Just wait for graphics mods. 4K textures. ENB's. Graphics that you'll need a 980ti to run at 60fps.
Why does everyone do this, we don't care that you like fallout 4 better than tomb raider there two completely different games that came out on the same day get over it mate
It is being compared to far cry 4? Far cry 4 sucks ass, I got bored after an hour in fc4! Terrible game! But I am in love with this game, I enjoy every second I play, I want to discover everything and lara croft is freakin' hot
I liked Farcry 4 but I 100% absolutely prefer Tomb Raider, it's just a lot more fun and Lara's badass and I'm tired of every protagonist in every game being some 40 year old guy, so a female protagonist is definitely a much needed breath of fresh air.
Syria and Siberia are totally different countries from Serbia..i really was excited when you mentioned it(cuz im a big fan of TR)and had to explore this and i realized that you need some Geography lessons...awesome video btw. Greetings from Serbia ✌️
Nothing will ever beat the 90's Tomb Raider games! But I must say, I liked this game better than the Reboot! I am a huge Tomb Raider fan (as you can probably tell by the Profile Picture. For those of you who don't know anything about 90's gaming, that is Lara Croft from back in 2000 in her game Tomb Raider Chronicles or Tomb Raider 5.) This game felt more like the classic games, in my opinion. First off, games back in the 90s were much more challenging and Tomb Raider was no exception. The classics had challenging gameplay along with non-linear level design. You had to go from place to place finding keys, moving boxes around, using her Legendary Dual Pistols to kill anything in her way, solving puzzles. Rise of the TR does that but with the updated graphics and better mechanics. That is the main reason why I like it, it reminds me of that challenging gameplay and level design in the Classic Tomb Raider. And with this you have Achievements, XP, DLC, More Collectibles (instead of just 3-6 Secrets per level, you have hundreds of things to find per section), and of course the updated graphics and gameplay. I also thought the Storyline was much better in this game than in the Reboot, but I still liked the Reboot's storyline. I was a little disappointed when I heard there was going to be no Multiplayer, but the awesome Single Player Experience and Expeditions Mode along with the Cards made up for it! This is an amazing game and has definitely made its mark in Tomb Raider history!
***** Yes, I know all about it :P. Look at my profile picture, xD! I follow Tomb Raider on Twitter and Facebook and I'm subbed to their channel, I hear a lot of things first-hand. But yes it will be cool when it comes out :)
+Kyle Kirkpatrick I was a fan too but I just can't deal with that company bs that square and xbox pulled. Taking the fans hostage like that is not okay! I love the old and the new Croft but this one I'm gonna get 2.hand - VOTE with your wallet! Seriously guys don't buy into these actions - the fans needs to send a message.
Björn Jensen If you want my honest opinion, they could've paid them a lot of money and if that was my game and I was getting a lot of money to do it, I probably would. I own it on PC so I didn't get it that long after the initial release date, however the PS4 Players really have to wait.
Am I the only one that wishes the protagonists in games like uncharted and tomb raider refrained from killing? To me it seems quite unrealistic that treasure Hunters such as Lara and Nathan would be so cool with taking lives.
I love the fact you show the goods just as much as the bads in your reviews, unlike the rest of the RUclips critics who bitch about EVERY LITTLE THING! ......that's what keeps me coming back. keep it going gameranx!!!!!
Thanks for this video my man. I never really looked in to playing any of the tomb raiders however upon winning the first tomb raider in a random create i bought i thought what the heck why not play it for the money. REALLY REALLY enjoyed it and thats coming from someone who was never a fan at all for the game and never caught my eye until physically playing the first one. The story, the graphics, the Interactions just everything about the game was so well put together. I enjoyed it so much so that im about to purchase the next one (the one you are showing in this video). I defiantly recommend the first game to anyone and everyone then purchase the next one and so on. The first one was a step up for the older gen consoles if i remember correctly and i sure as hell cant wait for this one to download. 10 out of 10 !!.
where did the helicopter pilot learn to shoot, storm trooper academy?
Javorie Johnson XD
Holden Cross IKR. Stevie Wonder would have probably had a better chance of hitting her...
He was on his mobile while flying and shooting ... multitask (fail). :P
1:57 I'm guessing you mean Siberia, not Serbia?
probably, since we weren't part of the soviet union, and there isn't any part of the county with that kind of climate...
+TheUltimateLowz WHOOPS. Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks for pointing that out!
+gameranx no problem man, keep up the good work
+TheUltimateLowz Serbia is a country though.
+Mikey Andocs a good one at that :)
the helicopter taking all those shots and not one hits her...yes, yes; Lara Croft agility lvl over 9000!!!
I mean there's a bunch of unrealistic stuff but i don't care because it reminds me of the old 90s action movies.
lara is protected by plot armor the strongest armor around

Yeah I’m near cause of that and I’m trying to see if it’s as good as shadow of the tomb raider or better
you wait for that?
yeah so "exclusive" now at 2020 hahahaha
Honestly I haven’t played this one but the 2013 game was awesome and I hesitated to pick it up but if it’s like that one I’m all in and then I’ll buy shadow of the tomb raider

"there is a lot more of a focus on stealth this time around"
as you say this, Lara's being chased by a helicopter with a machine gun. : /
Yes, this game was really good.

Some of the combat scenarios were also pretty trite; the game excelled when it let you do your own thing at your own pace.

I agree with you, and the original outfit of Lara, with the little shorts lol I mean it...
Boris Draconian No
Kate LOL ok no... but it would be nice a game in Egypt!
Erick Rodríguez have you seen the last cutscene of the game? It clearly points out that it will be in mexico
This is no longer an Xbox one exclusive. Which I'm very happy about.

Just imagine if Half Life 3 comes out, a lot of people are waiting for this for too long, and BOOM! Not even good.
+danny ingersoll I am really getting sick of all of you. "Fallout 4 is worst game of da yar!!!!1!" Fallout 4 is fantastic, and I'm sick of everyone hating it because it's different. It's an improvement on almost every aspect of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, which everyone treasures as sacred.
Just played the demo on PS5 and immediately bought it for 6 euros. What a bargain. It looks, sounds and plays better than various recent games. I find it more fun and immersive than God of War Ragnarok.
real
Me too
Best game of the genre I've played since Uncharted 2. It's amazing in every aspect. Just buy it. I'm not even done with it yet and I feel sad knowing it's gonna come to an end soon. Hate when that happens.
Man I love this channel. It's like what IGN tries to be
lol the thumbnail though
That's like every thumbnail
Lol ikr
All his thumbnails are like that.
My favorite thing in RotT that a lot of newer games seem to have? The enemies are NOT bullet sponges. I mean, get shot in the head, you're going to drop. Get shot in the leg, you're going to limp. Get shot in the arm, it's useless. We need more of that.
Playing this game right now for the first time and I’m loving it
legends waited for 6 years to get it for free😏😏
This game is what next gen gaming is supposed to be
Just played and finished on PS4 pro. It's a game. With an ok story. And like he said the optional tombs are really fun. Where you can learn to make Greek fire. And get a whole slew of helpfull skills and equipment. But yeah still in late 2019. It holds up great.
Um….ok? So you hated it
On point with the commentary. Tomb raider and rise of tomb raider are the only games I actually enjoyed collecting everything 100%. The rewards are massive and the quests are fun!! Catching chickens?? Haha dope!!!
I've played this game, I love it... And especially the humor. (Rotisserie chicken, throw a chicken and shoot it with a fire arrow. Cluck, cluck, a card granting a bow with chickens as arrows. Chicken bomb, a card that makes thrown chickens explode on impact.)
Also... The animations that the NPCS have when they eat.
**Internal screaming because I have to wait A WHOLE YEAR FOR IT TO BE RELEASED ON PS4**
Ikr fucking stupid
+Heather Of Hyrule Just finished it and it's fuckuign amazing!!! It has so much vibes from TRA, TRL, TRU
Vladmir PutItInsideme Awesome, I'm getting it in a year when it comes out for PS4. (I have neither an XBox or a working PC)
You got Bloodborne. Let us have this.
TheNerdFormer I'd probably trade TBH. But yeah, we also do have Until Dawn and The Last Of Us, so yeah.
Yeah, i also played the whole game and probably one of the best games i've ever played
Just over 2 months away and I can finally play this on PS4!! Cant wait!!
SUPER good and if your friends get it they are making survival mode co op
such an overlooked series
I bought this the same day as fallout 4. Had extra trade credit. Just started this tonight. Why have I not played this earlier!? I played the reboot too many times through and feared this would be more of the same. It is, but improved and optimized. The graphics are insane even for the Xbox one, and the controls not feel as loose as in the previous. Definitely worthy of a buy
1:41 How did she make that jump?
+Black Dynamite She's the Tomb Raider?
+Stephan Salvatore oh oh you know someone gotta go after you right ? LOL
+Black Dynamite Because this is a video game.
+Black Dynamite you can a boost if you time right with the boob bouncing duh!!!
+Black Dynamite it is said in the script. Thats why!
anyone else watching this on 2019? its for only 7 eur on steam and i think its a great price, dont get me wrong because real price is 50 eur
dude! same hahaha
bought it right before watching this :D
Costs like £7 on ps store now
@@chriswyatt9869 same for pc 1 week ago
this is a def buy for me!! i'll get the pc ver next year....
+sunfy8 how can you like it i am relay wondering
+moooshroomdragon king (mooshroomdragon) Its a lot easier to like if you have a love for the older games as well.. Personally though, although I loved the reboot and the older games (The older ones especially) I have to say I'm not very exited about this one at all. I wanted to see more in terms of the way Lara moves while jumping and climbing, or just her movement in general as it looks VERY mechanical and unnatural. Also you spelt 'really' wrong.. Unless it was auto correct xD
+moooshroomdragon king (mooshroomdragon) really*
Hey please subscribe to my channel! Keep rocking!
+sunfy8 Get it in 5 days you mean!
Just started playing the game. I had a good chuckle watching the helicopter miss thousands of bullets and missiles but perfectly places a missile to break the tower that lara is zip lining on.
Honestly might be one of the best games I’ve ever played
Who is here because the trilogy is free rn
Ez likes.
Who’s here because it’ll be free on play station in July?
me
It’s Siberia not Serbia bro. Totally different places.
I had just beat the game then this popped up so kind of fate to watch this. Anyone who doesn't have the game, My opinion is get it. It's so good.
Is it recommended that I play Tomb Raider 2013 first before going for ROTTR ?
Because I'm not at all familiar with anything regarding Lara and need to get the ground information on how everything started.
Zalmai Durrani You can buy ROTRR first, but it seems to be better to buy TR first or both
u can but it any time bcuz they diffrent
Just got the game today for 9.99 on sale with the dlc. This game is beautiful. I've never enjoyed most of the tomb raiders. But the stories.. lore.. treasure.. let's not forget bonfire safe points with fast travel (dsouls) but my favorite tomb so far.
Same
You dont like killing in Tomb Raider? Lara has been killing since the first game. Wtf did you expect? Weird review.
He meant the killing gameplay
I beat this game to 100 percent and ABSOLUTELY FUCKING LOVED IT!
IKR!! I miss Lara already. I Hope they will make the third one with a denser story line rather than making it open world.
Im about to start this game, does it grindy to 100% this game?
@@nastyline9693 not really. It's been a while since I played the game, but I remember you can get everything you need to appear on the map, and the game makes it easy to see where you need to go. Now it is a 100% run so expect to be picking up a lot of Documents and Artifacts, but it doesn't get too tedious because most of them aren't hard to find, just explore the area and you'll find the secrets you are looking for. The game really does reward exploration. A deep crack in the side of a cliff could really be a Challenge Tomb with an upgrade or gear at the end.
Hope this helped, happy Tomb Raiding!
Seeing Lara in a winter setting gives me a huge reminder if Ellie happened to grow up from The Last of Us seeing her in the winter section of the game.
I made the mistake of playing the first one, skipping this one (I had a PS4), and playing the third one. I like the third game a lot because it's a lot darker in tone compared to the first two. But this game is far superior in almost every way lol. I'm glad I finally played it
Same here I screw up I never played a Tomb raider game .
Now i,m playing Shadow the last one I will get the first two anyways I'm hooked now .
Just finished playing it on the ps4 and absolutely loved it! I plan to do another playthrough when I have time!
Would buy this but I'm too busy playing fallout.
That game with the hoorrriballlle graphics
Krypton Games all games aren't just about graphics. Just wait for graphics mods. 4K textures. ENB's. Graphics that you'll need a 980ti to run at 60fps.
+Krypton Games kinda like your spelling?
Giancarlo Buonamici RIP
Why does everyone do this, we don't care that you like fallout 4 better than tomb raider there two completely different games that came out on the same day get over it mate
It is being compared to far cry 4? Far cry 4 sucks ass, I got bored after an hour in fc4! Terrible game!
But I am in love with this game, I enjoy every second I play, I want to discover everything and lara croft is freakin' hot
Carlo Marone I traded FC4 in less than a week
I liked Farcry 4 but I 100% absolutely prefer Tomb Raider, it's just a lot more fun and Lara's badass and I'm tired of every protagonist in every game being some 40 year old guy, so a female protagonist is definitely a much needed breath of fresh air.
I got bored in under a half hour
Carlo Marone when you pass the game wear a tank top grab a chicken and throw them into the ice cold water
I like Far Cry, although I play Fallout 4 more
to this day i still pop on to this game every once and a while never gets old
Congratz on 1mil subs!!!
2:55 literally, ends with a BANG
I'll probably but the new one when it comes out for ps4.I just love these type of games and I can't keep replaying Uncharted 4.
who is here cuz of game pass
Tomb raider 2013 is one of the best adventure games ever
Syria and Siberia are totally different countries from Serbia..i really was excited when you mentioned it(cuz im a big fan of TR)and had to explore this and i realized that you need some Geography lessons...awesome video btw. Greetings from Serbia ✌️
Who is here in 2021?
Here in 2023. Seen it on sale.
Use this comment as a
"Who came after the PS Plus July Reveal?"
shut up
shut up, benjamin weeb
No
Ps plus anyone
I'll have to wait to see how the PC version does, but I'm sold. The reboot was the first Tomb Raider I played, and I love it.
I was playing this on ps4 pro last night and honestly got more into it than I thought I would.
Nothing will ever beat the 90's Tomb Raider games! But I must say, I liked this game better than the Reboot! I am a huge Tomb Raider fan (as you can probably tell by the Profile Picture. For those of you who don't know anything about 90's gaming, that is Lara Croft from back in 2000 in her game Tomb Raider Chronicles or Tomb Raider 5.) This game felt more like the classic games, in my opinion. First off, games back in the 90s were much more challenging and Tomb Raider was no exception. The classics had challenging gameplay along with non-linear level design. You had to go from place to place finding keys, moving boxes around, using her Legendary Dual Pistols to kill anything in her way, solving puzzles. Rise of the TR does that but with the updated graphics and better mechanics. That is the main reason why I like it, it reminds me of that challenging gameplay and level design in the Classic Tomb Raider. And with this you have Achievements, XP, DLC, More Collectibles (instead of just 3-6 Secrets per level, you have hundreds of things to find per section), and of course the updated graphics and gameplay. I also thought the Storyline was much better in this game than in the Reboot, but I still liked the Reboot's storyline. I was a little disappointed when I heard there was going to be no Multiplayer, but the awesome Single Player Experience and Expeditions Mode along with the Cards made up for it! This is an amazing game and has definitely made its mark in Tomb Raider history!
Nothing beats the original - that intro to the first level where she shoots the wolfs in mid-air
***** Uh.... that feature doesn't come out until October LMAO
***** Yes, I know all about it :P. Look at my profile picture, xD! I follow Tomb Raider on Twitter and Facebook and I'm subbed to their channel, I hear a lot of things first-hand. But yes it will be cool when it comes out :)
+Kyle Kirkpatrick I was a fan too but I just can't deal with that company bs that square and xbox pulled. Taking the fans hostage like that is not okay! I love the old and the new Croft but this one I'm gonna get 2.hand - VOTE with your wallet! Seriously guys don't buy into these actions - the fans needs to send a message.
Björn Jensen If you want my honest opinion, they could've paid them a lot of money and if that was my game and I was getting a lot of money to do it, I probably would. I own it on PC so I didn't get it that long after the initial release date, however the PS4 Players really have to wait.
Who's here after july 2020 ps plus announcement
Getting it or what?
@@chip7796 yeh
Me
Shut the fuck up
Yeah I just got it and it's amazing
Ps plus ppl where u at
I'm here and I can't wait
Am I the only one that wishes the protagonists in games like uncharted and tomb raider refrained from killing? To me it seems quite unrealistic that treasure Hunters such as Lara and Nathan would be so cool with taking lives.
The game is $7.49 right now but the sale ends tonight! I just bought it and have no regrets! Now I have all 3 games and so happy!
Who's here because of gamepass December 2023
Im here now 2024 lol

Please stop supporting last gen, you're ruining games.

What’s the difference between this and Uncharted ?
It's almost the same, but with different game mechanics
These are more open worldish. Uncharted more linear.
I love the fact you show the goods just as much as the bads in your reviews, unlike the rest of the RUclips critics who bitch about EVERY LITTLE THING! ......that's what keeps me coming back.
keep it going gameranx!!!!!
Thanks for this video my man. I never really looked in to playing any of the tomb raiders however upon winning the first tomb raider in a random create i bought i thought what the heck why not play it for the money. REALLY REALLY enjoyed it and thats coming from someone who was never a fan at all for the game and never caught my eye until physically playing the first one. The story, the graphics, the Interactions just everything about the game was so well put together. I enjoyed it so much so that im about to purchase the next one (the one you are showing in this video).
I defiantly recommend the first game to anyone and everyone then purchase the next one and so on. The first one was a step up for the older gen consoles if i remember correctly and i sure as hell cant wait for this one to download. 10 out of 10 !!.
I am on PC by the way. Graphics are insane!!.
