Why isn't this game on here. It's been ten years already. Anyways great game, best of the Tomb Raider survivor trilogy bar none. Fun Byzantine setting that comes as a bit of a surprise in the late game. The Baba Yaga DLC is cool.
best game of the trilogy... by far.. the best. recently i discover there's a dlc that can let you play the croft manor.. and i wish i can play that... please bring this back!!!
I played it for countless hours in survival mode. The snow landscape is awesome and for me it is still a reference for this type of environmental survival exploration gameplay. I want this experience back, stumbling through knee deep snow looking for branches to make a fire to survive another couple minutes, and be able to explore the area completely.
Why Rise of the Tomb Raider Deserves to Be on GOG:
Rise of the Tomb Raider is a modern classic — a perfect blend of cinematic storytelling, exploration, and survival mechanics that defined Lara’s rebirth for a new generation. It builds beautifully on the 2013 reboot and refines everything: the traversal is smoother, the stealth more dynamic, and the world absolutely stunning.
It absolutely deserves a spot on GOG, because:
🎮 It’s a complete, single-player experience — perfect for DRM-free preservation
💾 No always-online nonsense — you can enjoy it offline without being tethered
🖥️ Still holds up visually and mechanically — a great candidate for future-proofing via GOG installs
📚 Story-driven, cinematic gameplay — fits right in with the platform's collection of narrative-rich games
My Memory of the Game:
Sliding down icy cliffs in Siberia, bow in hand, scavenging for materials while ancient ruins loomed in the background — it really felt like classic Tomb Raider reinvented with care. The optional tombs especially brought back the puzzle-solving magic from the old games.
It’s one of those rare sequels that honors the past but isn’t afraid to evolve — and that’s exactly the kind of title GOG should preserve.
I got "Tomb Raider (2013)" from GOG and it is a solid gamed. I want to get the reboot trilogy. This title however, I never owned, never played it. Come on GOG, make it happen.
I grew up with the Tomb Raider games, having played them all from the first PlayStation demo disk released with the monthly magazines.
These days, I guess gaming tastes and what we enjoy changes...the 'survivor trilogy' are the ones I love the most. I love the story they tell, the gameplay 'loop' and bought each on release on my Xbox. I'd love the chance to add Rise to my collection, for my Steam Deck (to play using Heroic Games Launcher).
Rise is the best of the three, that opening level or location is breathtaking, I'd love to own it on GOG. Not sure why they've not added it already..? So many Tomb Raider games already available, so it seems like they're fine with DRM-free releases?
Please bring it to GOG!!!
This was actually my introduction to the Tomb Raider reboot and I played this one before the first one instead of the other way around, enjoyed it so much I played it more then one time and then picked up the 2013 version which I now have on GOG and I'd be super happy if this one came here tool. I think in total I played it at least 5 times doing things slightly differently each time. It was a blast.
I had a MacBook pro back in the day, no Xbox or PC or gaming laptop (the only console we had in 2015 was a Wii). I was able to play the first of the Survivor series, but I couldn't play Rise of the Tomb Raider. This game (and a few others like Alice Madness Returns) taught me quite a bit about computers; because I wanted to play Rise (and a few other games), I learned how to make my Mac into a Windows using bootcamp. This game ran awfully; it was running at 10-15 fps (20 if I was lucky), and there was this horrible effect with the lighting where it became all rainbow colored and took up a majority of the screen which gave me headaches, but you bet I played the heck out of it. It ended up being my favorite of the Survivor trilogy, which I replayed once I got a proper computer and am currently replaying on the PS5. Now ten years on, my little sister is playing the Tomb Raider games on the PS5, telling me her progress and how unrealistic Laura's pain threshold is, but loving every second of it. I'm so excited for her to play Rise, it's such a great game and is the highlight of Laura's adventures imo. Hopefully this game will be on GOG so it can be enjoyed by many others for years and years to come.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
