Tomb Raider
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] While Tomb Raider is something of a retelling of the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot game by Crystal Dynamics, it deviates in a lot of key ways Beware: gentle spoilers ahead, but I will try to keep things relatively vague.

Rise Of The Tomb Raider Was Gorgeous Already And Now Its Even Better
All of Lara's cuts and scrapes are rendered beautifully and look almost frighteningly realistic. All of the details were there in the original game, but with the 4K updates, they stand out a hell of a lot more than they used to.

Doom And Tomb Raider Are On Sale For Very Different Reasons Right Now
This is actually fantastic news for gamers, as the most annoying DLC are the map and gun expansion packs.

Rise Of The Tomb Raider Review: A Master Of Croft
On that note, the dialogue doesn't help proceedings either, betraying a lot of the character work done by Crystal Dynamics The bad guys feel evil in unnuanced ways, and they speak like bad 80s action movie villains, only it's 2015 and this is far too poe-faced for any fun to be had from it There[...]
