Tomb Raider GOTY

I don't actually own the game on GOG, as I bought it on Steam before it got here. However, I have to say I greatly enjoyed playing the game. However, as some other reviewers mentioned, it is vastly different from the other Lara Croft games. Gameplay-wise, there is less platforming and the puzzle bits are incredibly simple. It is more action oriented, and has you mowing down waves upon waves of baddies. There are also a TON of collectibles, unlike the previous games. Story-wise, you aren't playing an ass-kicking badass adventurer. You're playing as Lara Croft before she became Lara Croft, an innocent young woman just trying to survive in the harsh reality she's been thrust into. TL;DR: If you're looking for 20-25 hours of action oriented entertainment, buy it. If you're looking for platforming and puzzles, this won't scratch that itch.

I loved playing this game. Great graphics, gameplay, controls, animations, voice acting. The scenes integrates very smoothly with the game.

I love the new trilogy. I didn't enjoy much Lara's new habit of exterminating all animal life around her though. We also needed a worthy final boss. The second one (Rise of the Tomb Raider) is also great. Btw I'm waiting for Gog to release it. Unfortunately the third and last one was a mess.

It's a great reboot for this saga, a needed one at the time. Tomb raider influenced the creation of uncharted, and then uncharted influenced this reboot.

The story is great, the character development, going from someone inexperienced and weak to a skilled survivor is a very good point of this game. The game is well optimized and stable in FPS, I didn't witness any unexplained or "random" drops of frames. One funny thing is the character always getting hurt out of nowhere, it's something fun to watch (...) the fights in the game are very good, the archery is AMAZING, I found the built-in rope mechanic very cool. Overall, this game is: 9.5/10.
