Tomb Raider is one of those rare videogame franchises that has permeated into mainstream culture; and yet in the last decade, the series has struggled to keep up with similar action/adventure titles.

A Pacific island with history from World War Two and ancient cultures. Old tombs and ruins to explore. Skills and weapon upgrading system. Wild animals to hunt. Fast travel between camps. Am I talking about Far Cry 3

I'm a big Tomb Raider fan. More of the older originals than the newer ones, but this was cheap and had excellent reviews so I decided to give it a go. Well it's all a bit brutal! Gone are the days of idly shooting red dinosaurs or shutter the butler in the fridge, this is SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Brilliant game. Really enjoyable campaign, not enough players online to enjoy multiplayer however.

Love it , graphics are amazing

if you enjoyed the uncharted games,you will enjoy this.a lot more serious in tone ,it grabs you straight away.there is so much to explore and find .i really could not put it down .

Engaging Story Line; Gameplay; Graphics; Great Sound

Ask any non-gamer to name some video game characters and behind Mario and Sonic it's likely you'll hear the name Lara Croft. After some wonderfully successful games at the turn of the century, the franchise also spawned two successful Angelina Jolie starring feature films.

The gameplay in this reboot is very different from other tomb raider games but is still very fun. The story and gameplay is epic, I found it hard to put down. The muiltplayer can be fun but does have a few problems. Over all a 9/10

I have long been a proponent of story and the player's agency in videogames. I love the ability to take a character and explore and, generally speaking, do what you will. I am of the opinion that it is one thing to subtly guide you in a direction and another entirely to push you head-long in said...

In comparison it's surprising to note that Ninja Theory's refresh of Devil May Cry sticks more rigidly to formula than Crystal Dynamics, the studio for whom the relationship with Tomb Raider is, with this title, five games and counting.
