11/10.

The movement, laced with heart-stopping risk, in this game is far superior to IKEA VR Pancake Kitchen.

Liked this game, I was just a bit surprised by how the storyline went...
I thought it would be something very... dry? but when this *thing* started to pop out at the end...

I just finished this game and Wow. I am speechless because this was soooo good and fun. Like the whole time i was actually having fun like i wanted to continue it. Non stop it felt like my body was possessed to continue playing. MORE AND MORE ALL I CAN SAY IS Lara croft is so cool like. How can you handle all of that she is totally (SHE) LIKE THE GOAT OF FEMALE CHARACTER 10/10 if i had the chance to make my memory forget just to play it again. I WOULD DO IT JUST FOR THIS

Ive watched so many playthroughs of this game i can't wait to finally play it this is one of the greatest game franchises ever

Really enjoyed this game; from its combat and weapon system to the story and even the difficulty. The final boss fight was one of the best I’ve ever played in a game.

Considering this game is over ten years old at the time I've played it, I really am very impressed. It is a really good remake of the classic tomb raider games, and graphically it holds up even by today's standards. Excellent game and would recommend to anyone.

Rambo: the origin story
Jokes aside, the game is realy good

I mean, I guess I'll recommend this one. The story is mostly passable, but it has some really weird and unnecessary torture stuff near the beginning, where something horrible happens to Lara like every couple of minutes. No idea why they thought that was essential for the story. Also, even though the game's called Tomb Raider, there's very little tomb raiding to be had in this one. Most of the raiding comes from optional tombs (of which there are seven).

The tombs are really short puzzles – which are the best part of the game – but I really wish there were more of them. The standard gameplay consists of Uncharted-esque platforming and early 2010s third-person shooting. All in all, the game is quite short and kinda fun to play, but it feels like something other than a Tomb Raider game. Grab it on sale when it's super cheap!

A decent re-imagining with decent combat, reasonable (but not too excessive) collections and crafting, wooden and cliched acting, and a bizarre overuse of camera shake. The story is alright. Get it on sale, but be warned of the following:

The biggest issue for me, is the most ridiculous save system any game could have. I lost a chunk of progress because the save system isn't clear. Campfire save? Okay, but that has no timestamp in the menus. So what do I pick, if I forgot what the very last thing I did was before leaving the game? I recently launched the game to find an entire new area being completely wiped, all my salvage lost, chosen upgrades and a ton of platforming undone, etc, because I picked last campfire... - again, no timestamps. This is such a ludicrous oversight and it could have easily been remedied in a patch.

There is also a really irritating bug where action music will play over cutscenes and loop repeatedly until you leave the area.

Last of all, I have no idea why, but the story seems to be acted as if rain wasn't considered. Every cutscene has a person happily standing or lying out in the rain all of the time. The least Crystal Dynamics could have done is put roofs on some of the broken buildings or made up some kind of shelter in the areas where cutscenes happen or where some NPCs reside.

It's a fun game, but it's rough around the edges.

I recommend the game, but be very, very careful with regards to the save system - there is a reason why a lot of threads have been made over the years asking about it.

I never liked the original Tomb Raider games. However, this is one of the best games I've ever played. It's one of the few games that I couldn't put down until getting all the single player achievements.

This game was really good. Still is
Gameplay was good
Graphics was top notch
Story was superb. Most enjoyable tomb raider story. Loved it

Story: 9/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Graphics: 8/10

When it comes to storytelling, this game makes many mistakes with cheap sacrifices, Lara freezing at inopportune moments, and then charging into situations out of emotion rather than reason at other moments.

The game mechanics are rough. I can't decide whether the developers just didn't know how to work with a 3D environment or if they deliberately made things more difficult for keyboard and mouse to simulate controller gameplay. Either way, game mechanics are annoying.

My third big issue with this game is camera control. Cut scenes pop up without warning. One moment you can be fighting or scrambling for your life, trying to anticipate the next move, and suddenly you have no control because an unexpected cutscene starts that doesn't even feel like a cutscene at first. There are also many places in the game where you are forced to use specific camera angles while trying to navigate terrain which will hide the path forward from you.

Overall, this feels more like a game designed for people who like to do speedruns rather than play for story or RPG.

amazing gameplay . absolutely worth buying , the game got so immersive in between . the whole world building is great and the mechanics and puzzles feels amazing . graphics are great too , modern AAA games should learn

One of the best Action Adventure Linear game I've ever play. The story is good, the graphics is smooth, the music and sound effects blending perfectly and yeah just make me enjoy this game so much.

I have nothing bad to say about this game. It's challenging, thrilling and fun to play at the same time. Adventure, Action, this game has all packed in one. but on the "cons" I had go through a issue of the game crashing at first but it's all good now. But without any hesitation or doubt, I would strongly recommend this game to the other gamers here. Personally, I love it.

Great story. A little short but worth it. Plays great on steam deck. 60 fps.

it works its not buggy af like the rest in the series on pc , just imagine you spend hours to get to the top of a peak climb into a tomb of wonder and find yourself spending hours on a super simple oil puzzle ... you go online look at whats up and find this is a problem for almost all users you need to switch your refresh rate to 50hz not 60hz or native on mine 144hz down to 50hz and well it don't work great still, but after your past this point, this fix don't work it just hard crashes and your restarting the game and or pc i'm now also at this stage where i finished climbing to the top made my way to the bottom now it has crashed hoping i dont need to redo the entire palace again but, if i did, it would only take me about 10 minutes mabe less once you have done it once the mystery and magic is just gone people who replay these games do it for a challenge not to be interrupted by 20 year old game of the year bugs and crashes hows that for likes and dislike unlike my other reviews this one is still positive since most people might not make it this far as they probably expected with the other titles in the pack since if you don't have an xbox or ps controller like me the game wont function as intended for pc mouse and keyboard this is what they call a bad port to pc , like the oil puzzle hooking up a controller can sometimes fix these bugs like lowering your refresh rate i found it more helpful than have my game run like poo , also *save your game .unless you wanna do it over and over and over and over and over and over should i go on ? its a beautiful game its fun to play but boy the things that hang you up man are they just soooo fixable and should had never got an award on pc for this ie. jedi fallen order vs survivor both titles had their flaws but one title; survivor the newest title every time you meditate aka save the game or reach a way point it crashes this should had been fixed in an update liek god of war or any other remastered title before you make it more pretty it should run as well as it looks form meets function frank lloyd wright* .

*Tomb Raider* is a thrilling reboot with intense action, exploration, and a gripping origin story for Lara Croft. The world is immersive, and survival feels real. My favorite part? Solving ancient tomb puzzles while uncovering secrets!

I totally forgot that this game came out in 2013... Still very good on my, slightly better than a potato, PC. You should 100% pick it up the next time you find it on sale. 10/10

I do not like this game. Five minutes in, Lara has her large intestine punctured by a muddy stick and decides to remove it -- never cleaning or bandaging the wound -- and it doesn't get infected or kill her.

Tomb Raider is a visually stunning and meticulously staged game, but it is hindered by limited depth and stifling linearity. The gameplay balances quiet exploration with rip-roaring action, making it a terrific adventure. The single-player experience is well-written, sympathetic, exciting, and beautiful. Overall, it is a fantastic game and an excellent origin story for one of gaming's original treasure seekers. Recommended!

This game for the price is worth it!!!
Game is 13 years old and its still kicking,graphics are amazing same as combat
Maybe one day we can get a remake

Tales of high adventure! Laura Croft is Tomb Raider. Action around every corner, immersive story. I'd definitely play with her.

Nice game, good story, altough a little too easy even on hard difficulty.

This one didn't quite click for me. I noticed a lot of red flags in the first 15 minutes that made me think, "I'm not going to like this, am I?"

In the opening scene, Lara says, "I set out to find adventure, but instead... adventure found me."
Man, if that isn't the most 2010s thing ever. Unfortunately, as I continued playing, I found myself getting bothered by a lot of things. The writing felt juvenile to me, and the cliches were annoying, too. I didn't understand why Lara had to endure so many awful tortures. And the QTEs? Miss me with that.

Nope, I'm not a fan. This is the quickest I've ever been to drop a game. I was only 27 minutes in, according to Steam. If you've never played the original Tomb Raider games and are thinking of getting into the franchise with this reboot, check out the first hours of gameplay on YouTube. I thought that because it's a well-known "classic" on sale, it would be fun, but I was wrong. I should have known better. This was an impulse buy. Oh well, at least it was on a sale.

very good and life changing game. would recommend

Some glitches with graphics (with a good graphics card(, intense camera shake that made me mildly motion sick (which is fine, but why is it not able to be disabled for accessibility?) graphic settings not saving or staying consistent, subtitles are extremely huge with a big black boxy background so I had to disable them while I usually use them on all games, also the game "autosaves" yet 50% of the time don't actually save cause I quit the game after an autosave (saw the autosave icon and everything) and probably lost 20-30 mins of progress logging back in. That's when I uninstalled lol. I don't wanna make futile progress for it to not save, even though it shows it saved.. I remember loving this game when it released on console but it's just NOT good on PC. The game itself is good but.. I personally would play more if my saves weren't like "maybe it's saving maybe it's not'

It's really fun! Makes you feel like such a badass. The mechanics can be a little bit clunky at times but hey, it's a game from 2013 and is still incredibly impressive for it's time. The animations are pretty gorgeous.

taking me back to high school, what a great game.

Lock your screen to 60hz or else you will encounter many game breaking bugs especially surrounding qte's. Once you have things locked to 60 ALL quick time events are fixed and start to display and behave properly. This is a 60 fps game and should be played at a locked 60 for the best experience.

Great game for anyone likes an adventure. This game, for the most part, is just as fun to watch as it is to play. Many sequences play out like an indiana jones movie for the couch based audience you may or may not have.

In 2025 this is a very enjoyable game and I look forward to replaying the rest of the reboot trilogy.

Tomb Raider (2013) didn’t just reboot a franchise—it reintroduced us to Lara Croft like never before. Gone was the gun-toting icon from the early 2000s, and in her place was a young, vulnerable, and relentlessly determined Lara, thrown into absolute hell with nothing but her will to survive. And we were so here for it.

Yes, the action is over-the-top. Yes, she gets impaled through the abdomen within the first 30 minutes. And yes, she still climbs rock walls, leaps across collapsing bridges, and pulls off parkour that would make a ninja weep. But do we care? Not in the slightest. It’s Lara Croft, baby. She bleeds, she cries, she breaks—but she never stops.

The game doesn’t go full open world, but it flirts with the idea enough to make exploration exciting. The environment design is top-tier—lush forests, eerie tombs, and creepy ancient ruins all beautifully wrap around the dark mystery of Yamatai and the mythical Sun Queen. The storytelling keeps you hooked, even if it occasionally leans into the melodrama.

Combat feels gritty and satisfying, upgrades are rewarding, and those stealth bow kills? Chef’s kiss. It’s a classic case of “over-the-top but we love it anyway,” and it works brilliantly.

Tomb Raider is the perfect origin story—brutal, emotional, and empowering. Lara doesn’t just survive. She evolves. And we get to witness every bloodied, muddy, glorious second of it.

「古墓麗影9/古墓奇兵9」是一款讓我回味讀書時期美好記憶的經典遊戲。最初我在2014年於Xbox 360上遊玩時，就被那時720P的畫面解析度所震撼，即使到了2025年回顧，我仍覺得這畫面十分出色。整體而言，遊戲節奏非常快速，大約10個小時左右就能順利通關，之後則是在地圖上拾取散落的垃圾、完成各種任務並收集成就，這種玩法雖然簡單直接，但也頗具挑戰。

本作完全顛覆了前作的概念。雖然解謎系統依然存在且佔有一定比重，但遊戲最令人印象深刻的亮點反而在於劇情。它極好地展現了初出茅廬的勞拉那種既青澀又猶豫不決，同時又足夠勇敢、充滿反差的個性，完美塑造出一個既成功又能融入大眾的勞拉形象，這點真的是十分出色。遊戲劇情的呈現猶如觀看一部扣人心弦的電影，儘管題材並不新穎，但那緊張刺激的氛圍仍然能夠深深吸引觀眾。

此外，遊戲的戰鬥系統變革太大，與以前半鎖定攻擊模式截然不同，改為無鎖定攻擊，使得敵方NPC的AI表現也變得十分聰明。雖然遊戲難度本身並不算太高，但若要快速通關，仍需要一定的技巧與操作。純粹依靠機瞄一槍爆頭雖然爽快，但卻也顯示出遊戲在戰鬥設計上的另一面——高難度的挑戰讓玩家不得不慎重應對。

總結遊戲優缺點如下：
優點：
無可替代的電影式視覺演出，這一點足以彌補其他不足，畢竟這遊戲的亮點並不在於戰鬥本身。
即使整體流程呈線性設計，遊戲仍保有相當的自由度，讓玩家能夠自由探索、收集。地圖上的探索、收集和解謎設計，為遊戲增加了許多樂趣，對於喜歡收集成就的玩家來說，這種成就感十分強烈。
雖然戰鬥部分存在缺點（下文會提），但總體體驗依然不錯，純機瞄一槍爆頭的爽感令人印象深刻。

缺點：
素材收集獎勵系統深度不足，很多時候探索所得的獎勵僅是些零件和彈藥，這也反映了本作升級系統的一些設計缺陷。
許多場景辨識度不高，例如森林或村落等地區，若沒有地圖輔助，容易讓人迷路。
角色能力加點也缺乏策略深度，許多屬性既象徵性又缺乏實際效用。
彈藥供應過於充裕，導致敵人給予的壓迫感不足。即使我特意將難度調至困難模式，彈藥仍然不會變得緊缺，讓戰鬥看起來有點過於簡單。如果能借鏡生化危機那種資源管理的玩法，效果可能會更佳。

總體來看，「古墓麗影9/古墓奇兵9」是一款充滿懷舊情懷的遊戲，雖然遊戲節奏快、關卡流暢且成就感十足，但也存在些許缺點。不過，這款遊戲絕對值得收藏，尤其對於喜愛經典冒險及懷舊題材的玩家來說，是一個不可錯過的佳作。而週末時，不妨拿出來重溫一下那段青澀歲月，重拾當初的感動。

7/10

I played this game on a whim, to get some good time after hectic days at work....and let me tell you, it was good. We've heard about Lara Croft everywhere, but playing the game is a different experience on its own. I would definitely recommend this game if you wanna get into Lara Croft world!

somehow can't get past the first wolf sequence, the second wolf spawn and attacks out of my reach to shoot it. no matter how i put my graphics. :/

A survivor being born from life or death decisions, Lara Croft is the young girl that throughout the journey takes on the task to find out the truth and with that also become the infamous tomb raider.

Trapped on an island by ancient magic, Lara is tasked to find out the source of what is stopping them from leaving the island, breaking that curse and with that also rescuing her friends that is part of the crew Endurance.

This game is really only alright. It's very linear in the story telling and even though it has a large map, it's giving you access to one area at a time along with the story, with the option to go back with fast travel via campsites to explore more or to grab the few collectibles or challenges you might have missed out on during your first visit. All because you wasn't paying attention or because you lacked the equipment to access that certain area when you first encountered it.

This game does offers really great puzzles that you have to solve to progress, that had me confused more than I wanna admit. A few of the optional tombs can be accounted for here aswell.

Gameplay is great, with a few bugs... It's not game breaking, only really annoying. Game is really boring at first but it gets better with more advanced gear and equipment as you progress the story. Game has an easy way to find the stuff you highlight and with more skills earned you can also see collectibles through walls for more easy access. The best way is to look at the map and highlight the collectibles one at a time. The only thing that is impossible to highlight are the challenges required in each area. That's all up to you but I cleared every single one of the challenges without any guides. You just have to pay really good attention and use the survivor instict to find the required things that is asked from you amongst the environment you traverse.

The game is as I said only alright, it's not the best game I've played but not the worst on the list either. It's a nice origin story for the remake of character that is Lara Croft going from the innocent girl to the ruthless killer that does anything to get what she wants out of any situation.

The best part of the game is the stealth and without a doubt the gore. When you die, they leave nothing to the imagination. It's rough to look at but so satisfying.

Worst addition to this game is the multiplayer, it's smacked full of bugs and getting the achievements sucks ass. I had to remove my save file to even have the multiplayer achievements trigger for me. Massive f*cking L.

This game is over 12 years old and I cannot tell you how much this shows when you play.
I only really recommend the singleplayer part of this game, everything else is up for you to decide, for me... not worth it.. ugh..

It was an amazing game that stressed me out with the camera shaking, all the intense situations you’re put in, etc., but overall, it was great. There were a few bugs here and there, so I had to reload my last checkpoint about three times throughout the game, but that’s okay—it was still really good.

Overall great game and gameplay. Graphics are pretty good to play on even in 2025.

Played this in 2025 after it had been sitting in my library for a decade. The overall plot is pretty forgettable, but they do a good job setting up the character. Gameplay is great. It's a light, but tense action game that knows its best to keep you moving at all times. Playing it post something like the modern EA Jedi games and I'm surprised at how much I prefered the platforming bits in Tomb Raider.

10/10 fighting, graphics, story.

very fun. huge recommend.
lots of action, danger, and thrilling activity to be had.

love it!

my first tomb raider game and i wish i got started on this franchise sooner! the game is really easy to play, i played combat on easy but even the other stuff like puzzle solving and getting around is easy (you can just press a button and see a marker for which direction to go in at any time). i think this is the first game i've played where i didnt need to look up at least one little thing thats part of the main mission. the game also auto saves very often so if you mess up and die it's not that big on a deal, you don't have to repeat much. so if you're like me and and are maybe not the best at solving things in video games and want a stress-free action game to play i'd definitely recommend playing!

Tomb Raider is truly a fantastical game,, if I could wipe off my memory, I would do so only to play this game again. From the very beginning this game had me hooked and the whole journey from beginning to end was majestic. I could actually feel a connection to Lara because of how her character development takes place, from the very first hour you get to know who Lara is, what she does, and why is she doing all of this.. The whole script of the game was so well curated. The timing of things, when it happened, why it happened all the questions are answered, if only one is patient enough.

Lara croft should be the face of feminism the girl can practically do anything.. Kill people who hurt her or her friends.... patch herself if she gets injured... she fails,cries,falls but then stands up on her own, and most importantly she never backs down. Truly an "ONE WOMAN ARMY", ALSO LARA CROFT IS A BEAUTY ;)

There are cons to this game as well such as the gun-play will not feel good at all, the guns practically float when one tries to aim.. but hey, have we even used the guns? as for me I killed almost everyone with the bow.. The bow is her trademark weapon and also she looks hot while wielding a bow. The game is practically perfect and the story is also very well written, anyone who still hasn't played should really give this game a try.

Highly recommended: 100/10

Its very good game but watch out for some glitches that atleast i couldnt get fixed and had to start over.

great gameplay, stunning visuals, great adventure

The games is extremely buggy and game breaking. There was even a section where an object that was required to progress the game clipped into the environment and i was not able progress the games at all. Definitely something to consider while buying if you wish your game progress to stop 53%.

I bought this after seeing a TikTok edit.. the trilogy was on sale so I thought why not give it a try. this story was amazing 10/10.. definitely exceeded my expectation by a large margin

At first, I wasn't sure if I would be able to recommend Tomb Raider. It's a game that takes a little while to draw you in right, and I wasn't fully sold for the first few minutes. The longer I played it, though, the more addictive it became. The game is wonderful at making you feel that you're embarking on an actual adventure, and though there are some bugs here and there, they're not taking away from the experience. The starting of the game is slow, like many games that take time to pick up, but after that, it becomes really exciting. The game only intensifies more and more, and next thing I knew, I was completely immersed in what's happening. The characters are believable, and how the story unfolds makes you wish to keep on playing just to see what's ahead. Other than the story, the gameplay is equally entertaining. Exploration of the world is satisfying, and the mix of climbing, fighting, and problem-solving keeps you hooked. Each place has a sense of distinctness, and the world is rich in little details that create the illusion of life. Whether climbing cliffs, creeping through enemy camps, or digging up hidden secrets, there's always something new to experience. The fighting is slick and enjoyable, the action sequences are intense, and the puzzles are nicely balanced between being challenging and enjoyable. Even during its slower sections, the game keeps you engaged by letting you absorb the world and learn more about the story. At the end, I was surprised by how much I had been drawn into the experience. The game isn't action-based—it makes you feel like you're connected to something bigger. If you are looking for a game with good narrative, engaging gameplay, and a world that is compelling, this one is definitely worth playing.

Whoever decided on the constant camera wobble, whoever implemented it and whoever signed of on it during QA, I hope they never make the same mistake in another game again, frankly I hope you got sacked over it. There's a mod that can disable it during gameplay, but it only makes it more jarring during cutscenes. How anyone can play this for a decent length of time is beyond me, but good for you. Being able to disable it completely would've been a no-brainer QOL improvement in my opinion, but there isn't so I take issue with it, ans sadly it's not the only issue I have with Tomb Raider.

Aside from the wobble, there seems to be just so much Lara torture porn in the first hours, perhaps beyond. IDK, maybe it was an excuse to spend a lot of timing recording grunting an moaning and since it was recorded they justified it by putting it in the game, it's all just a bit much. Just like the constant boob pans, don't get me wrong, nothing against boobs (I'm well capable of panning my own camera view thank you very much), but it is emblematic of the larger issue that the player's agency is constantly taken away.

Want to explore, because you know... it's an adventure game about a heroine explorer, and there's a good change you walk into a cutscene / minigame that takes you out of part of the map you were in. Sure you can backtrack through fast travel eventually, but it just become a forced path from one tiny one set piece to the next with very little agency.

So it's making me feel physically ill, sprinkles in chunks of torturing the protagonist for no obvious reason well beyond the intro and takes away agency from the player. Maybe this should be advertised as an interactive, soft-gore fetish visual novel with quicktime events rather that an action adventure game.

Peak Lara!!! TOMB RAIDER 2013 10/10 Best ever game! :) MULTIPLAYER is dead but community still alive to this day people always help to complete multiplayer achievements!

Tomb Raider is my all time favorite game series, even the classic 2000s games. Lara has always had a big impact on me growing up and having these games as an adult is everything I could want and more, plus the game is GOOD, I cant wait to finish this one and play the other two.
