Tomb Raider GOTY

This game is great. From beginning to the end you will be challenged and have fun. Great orgin story to this reboot. The only reason that I dont give this 5 stars is because Rise of the Tomb Raider is so much better. However, this was a great start for the series. Do yourself a favor and buy it. You wont regret it.

Pros Simple mechanics. Simple puzzles. Secret rooms. Cons Repetitive. Story. Dificulty. Note: The game punishes you a lot if you rise the dificulty, its like the classic, you have less hp then the others, this game show how Lara became Lara, she is not a badass but somone who is in a bad situation.

As written, the Game has too much Teenie Crying Stuff and broken Quick Time Events. I am absolutly no Fan of this Game. Rather play Anniversary, Legend and Underworld!

I was so happy to replay it. Nowadays the gameplay feels a bit archaic, but the atmosphere is still good.

Tomb Raider (2013) is an open-world action game where you explore the origin story of one of gaming's most famous heroines, Lara Croft. Unlike the older TR games which are linear and more puzzle-based, this one focuses more on action and exploring an open-world, set in the cursed island of Yamatai where Lara and her crew are shipwrecked and cannot leave. Gameplay-wise its fun, with a tense story, third-person combat, and platforming scenes. You can also level up your skills and weapons as well as changing Lara's costumes. But what most people have complaints about, is the fact that Lara doesn't do much tomb raiding herself. Most of the puzzles are actually set in the optional tombs, and they only reward XP instead of artifacts like you would expect. They are rarely located in tombs and usually are just scattered about. The departure of style from previous titles like I stated near the beginning is also another reason why people prefer the older ones. It's more like Uncharted they say. However, since this was my first TR game, I actually kinda prefer this style. Honestly my complaint regarding comparison to older titles is only that those games have varied levels exploring the world with colorful ruins, but here we're just stuck in 1 location and the game could use more color. One of the major differences between the GOG and Steam version is that they removed the dead multiplayer as well as its achievements, making the game story-only. But for me these are broken and a little less than half of them won't unlock. Still, that shouldn't discourage you from playing this masterpiece of a title, and of course its sequels!
