Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration

Lara zrobi wiele by uratować honor ojca, gra w skrócie poprawia wszystko co poznaliśmy w jedynce i dodaje sporo ulepszeń i dodatków, niestety fabularnie w porównaniu do jedynki wyszło trochę gorzej, w jedynce było czuć jakiekolwiek emocje tak tutaj nic, polecam cieplutko.

Now, this is more like it.. there are actual dungeons and contraptions, and "tombs" are a bit more tombs and less broom closets. Still way more green beret than badass archeologist, but I guess that appeals to a lot of kids or people from warmongering societies.. Still way too crumbling/explosive all around our heroin, but overalll the game is pleasant and well executed.

The follow up to the 2013 reboot retains much of the gameplay, adding a few more mechanics and a new location and storyline. All in all quite good. The gameplay flows well as these kinds of exploration games go. Combat encourages stealth, but flows quite satisfyingly when it's time to get loud. All in all for most of the game I felt this was a solid 4/5 (Great) game, with aspirations to fantastic. So why only 3? Well, a lot of things compound to drag it down for me: It feels like they wanted to cram more typical open-world malarkey into the game, leading to a deluge of collectibles to look out for. Too many for my taste of these being text snippets which you either read at your own pace or have to sit around listening to, at times it felt like there were a lot more sitting listening than movement between the exposition. The side-quests might be a neat idea, but again it just felt like they were desperate for filler. The new snowy locale is nice, but it gets kinda samey and a lot less memorable than the 2013 outing. And what really soured me and had me push through out of spite not enjoyment was the end sequence which felt really unoptimized, along with combat upon combat upon combat with no satisfying stealth or exploration between them. Followed up by slow "puzzle" segments which felt a lot more like the game just desperately trying to drag out the playtime. The performance is also quite underwhelming. My GPU/CPU were never maxed out but the game would still frequently dip to 40fps and feel stuttery. DirectX 12 support still comes with weird graphical quirks so I suggest going a step back. So in all, it's a good game. If you don't mind frequent breaks for exposition, and could care less for stealth it might even be a great game (Consider this easily 4/5 then) It is certainly one of the more impressive polished games of this style. It just feels underwhelming after the previous game, and downright tedious and deliberately trying your patience at the worst of times.

wciąż dobra gra, nawet super gra + ta edycja GOG, must have!

Rise of the Tomb Raider rocks man, it's a must have for any fan the legacy...
