The Short Version: Boasting a dynamic platforming playground that reveals itself slowly but surely, the entire Tomb Raider experience is built around the (re)birthing of an icon in terms of action-adventuring.
Superb production values - the level of detail in visual and sound design is exceptional; Excellent; rollicking action-adventure story; Combat is the some of the best we've seen from the genre; let alone the series; Yamatai is fantastically realised; exploration encouraged to a huge degree; Tombs
Less action; more adventuring please next time; Multiplayer feels tacked on and superfluous in spite of its solidity
