Flowing water especially caught my eye in terms of boosting the game’s aesthetic prowess. Great! Lara and her playgrounds look incredible too. Naturally, this opened up different ways to stalk and kill enemies. I’ve climbed more trees in Rise of the Tomb Raider than in any other Tomb Raider game. The environments seem to be more open to choosing which way you want to go. What’s good about Rise of the Tomb Raider? I'm genuinely struggling to separate the two games but had we never saw Tomb Raider in 2013, I believe Rise of the Tomb Raider would have been revolutionary. I wanted more of this and less gunslinging. All that stood between you and progressing was a puzzle in a tomb that had been swallowed by the jungle. Cast your minds back to the slower, quietness of how Tomb Raider used to be. What happened to raiding tombs? Rise of the Tomb Raider (as with the previous Tomb Raider title) plays more like a game about Guerrilla Warfare. Additionally, I am sick to death of ‘ clear an area of five to ten enemies then progress *repeat*’. You may be happy with this but I yearned for more. I expected a lot more from Crystal Dynamics but it appears that the team took what worked well from 2013 and enhanced it slightly in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Again, it felt and looked immensely similar to the previous Tomb Raider experience. Here's another example: As Lara sits down at a camp in Rise of the Tomb Raider the menu systems are displayed beautifully and are easy to navigate through (slight improvement on menu navigation from the last game). I’m really struggling to see a difference. Naturally, parkour, crafting, upgrading weapons, veering off in to side quests and whizzing down zip lines with a climbing axe are all a part of Rise of the Tomb Raider just as it was in the 2013 game. The world in Rise of the Tomb Raider varies between the harsh blizzards of Siberia to the warmer climates of Syrian cliff sides with some tombs in between. The new Tomb Raider adventure feels too similar to the 2 013 release of Tomb Raider. I’m over seven hours in to Rise of the Tomb Raider and I’m left feeling very underwhelmed so Playstation 4 owners, listen up. ![]() Now I’m thinking that the wait may be a good thing to the hardcore Sony Elite’s and I’m going to tell you why. I’m old school when it comes around to Tomb Raider and Lara started her life on the Sony Playstation (actually a Sega Saturn one week earlier) and I felt it was an unfair move to players that don’t own an Xbox One to have to wait. ![]() The Rise of the Tomb Raider is a timed exclusive to the Xbox One.
