Follows Lara Croft as she continues her late father's research into myths of immortality. Lara, now more experienced and confident than she was in the previous game, treks across the Siberian tundra in search of the answers her father could never find. Lara also faces off against Trinity, an ancient and ruthless shadow organization that is hell-bent on finding the source of immortality, killing anyone who gets in their way. Lara races to find this source before Trinity can, and prove to the world that her father was chasing more than a myth. Lara Croft continues her late father's research, trekking across Siberia in search of the answers her father couldn't find, facing off against an ancient and ruthless shadow organisation. This game could be a masterpiece, but there's some salt in the barrel of honey which makes this experience far form perfect.<br/><br/>First of all, I must admit, there's an excellent graphics engine and impeccable assets. Open scenes and beauty of nature around will make your heat miss a few beats. Tomb Raider game have never been some visually perfect. Lara's model is amazing, animations are good, when you look at scene around you will not tell if it's true or if it's a video game.<br/><br/>Graphics is amazing.<br/><br/>Besides that, that's a pretty generic game by it's design and storyline.<br/><br/>Take Uncharted, put a Lara inside instead of Drake, voila, you got a new Tomb Raider game.<br/><br/>Comparing to the previous game from Crystal Dynamics, everything got better and bigger in that game. Scenes are larger, there are more caves (some of them are pretty generic and faceless) and riddles, levels are bigger, there are more enemies and et cetra et cetra.<br/><br/>We got system of weapons crafting (which is nothing new actually) and we have gachapon (yes, micro-transactions in a 60 dollar triple-A class game).<br/><br/>Plot is pretty obvious and non-compelling, it's not horrible, but it doesn't show any originality or extra-effort behind it. Take any detective story which features Masonite's or aliens and bah, you got a Tomb Raider plot. Actually it filled with anti-soviet propaganda and sometimes sounds like some trashy cold-era war movie.<br/><br/>Also, you would be very disappointed by the last boss.<br/><br/>I would recommend buying this game, just don't expect it to be a masterpiece. While visually very compelling, it follows very generic game design elements, and plot deserves some elaboration because sometimes it sounds like a story for 10-years old.<br/><br/>7/10. Lara Croft continues her late father's research, trekking across Siberia in search of the answers her father couldn't find, facing off against an ancient and ruthless shadow organisation. Rise of the Tomb Raider expands Lara's origin from where we left her back in 2013 when on the same time new enemies emerge. The graphics and the locations are stunning, the visuals look real as her and some missions like the Opening, the Bear, The Side Mission with the Witch and the Deathless warriors who scream at greek were some of the most memorable things about the game and even tho it doesn't have the same amount of action like the previous game it still has an amazing plot and interesting characters to hooked on plus the end credit scenes showcases what is coming in the future. (A+)
