After nearly two decades, Crystal Dynamics finally gets it right. Tomb Raider is an action-packed thrill ride full of amazing set-pieces, sharp writing, a fun science fiction story and tons of enemies to gun down. Tomb Raider is a game worthy of the Croft name!

There is a platform here for Crystal Dynamics to take Lara's shenanigans to a new level, but a reliance on fairly bog standard shooter mechanics just doesn't do the franchise any justice and as a result, means Tomb Raider falls short of being a truly great game.
