Back in 1996, the very first Tomb Raider was released just a few months after the seminal Super Mario 64 . The Italian plumber's first foray into the third dimension was unforgettable with amazing controls, fantastic level design, and best of all, the spirit of the series intact.

hasn't lost its luster a year after its initial release. Bundled together with all of the content released so far, Lara's already-packed adventure is now even bigger. And while Playing the new non-combat story mode, Blood Ties, with PlayStation VR was enjoyable (when I was in Comfort Mode, at...

While I found myself a tad bit underwhelmed when playing through 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' last year, I'm thoroughly impressed with how much has been added to the game since then.

When Rise of the Tomb Raider was released back in November 2015, Xbox One owners rejoiced because they finally had an exclusive game to brag about.

Worth the wait.

A hefty package; Co-op mode is a treat; Looks fantastic; even without 4K

Story still isn't quite as good as it could be; Few minor bugs here and there

It was already a worthy follow-up to the Tomb Raider reboot, but with all the DLC, and some interesting new extras, this is not only a good game but also a great bargain.

The controls and graphics are excellent, and the platforming and puzzling is a lot more involved than the reboot; Great stealth combat; Generous 20th anniversary extras

It's been almost a year – since last November – but the second installment in the rebooted Tomb Raider franchise has finally landed on the PS4. Sony console owners had to bide their time as Microsoft swung an exclusivity deal with Crystal Dynamics to release Rise of the Tomb Raider on their console...

None really and all of the nitpicking variety; Some disappointing quality variance in textures and anti-aliasing; Wish for more character development & involvement of Lara's friends

A worthy sequel that only hardcore fans may find lacking

If you're obsessed with construction equipment and large mechanical things, Giant Machines 2017 probably has something to offer you. Giant Machines 2017 is a game that simulates what it's like to drive, well, giant machines.

Driving huge vehicles can be a cool experience

Buggy and not too attractive; Poor camera; Boring objectives

Rise of the Tomb Raider was by far one of the best games I played in 2015. So much so that I it took my Game of the Year. It was one of the games that you hated because you did not have an Xbox One, and those who did own the console, had enough reason to gloat over the game's exclusivity.
