Tomb Raider

This is a great game to tackle on a weekend. Your looking at about 20 Hrs of game play depending what difficulty you choose. runs smooth and the graphics are amazing. really enjoyed the story and play through.

this game is visually very awsome. the story line is too engaging.. nd very entertaining game.. :)

Very nice origin story!
Fun gameplay and beutifull graphics, considering the year that was released!

*Tomb Raider* (2013) offers a compelling reintroduction to Lara Croft, combining gritty survival elements with classic exploration and puzzle-solving. Its cinematic presentation and solid gameplay mechanics still hold up well, supported by strong storytelling and a richly detailed environment. While some aspects may feel of their time, the game remains a standout action-adventure experience that helped redefine the franchise for a new generation.

Its a cinematic type experience, played a game like this many years ago.

I have underestimated this game. This game is beautiful. Filled with action and emotion.

The modern Tomb-Raider trilogy have the distinction of being well put together potentially enjoyable action/exploration romps whilst simultaneously struggling to understand who Lara Croft truly is. (Or was as the case maybe.)

In spite of all that,when I originally picked up Tombraider 2013 on my Xbox-360 it was my sleeper gem of that year . As someone who enjoyed the gameplay and set pieces in classic Resident Evil 4 I found TR-2013 to be a fun ride that effortlessly flowed between bombastic gunfights,tense stealth,and smooth platforming. Put simply,it gave me more of what I was craving for in that regard!

For better or worse,I love action platformers and 3rd person shooters. TR-2013 ticks those boxes nicely while throwing in other staples such as crafting,fast travel,and skill-point allocation.

I admire what TR-2013 was going for. A more gritty sometimes harrowing and terrifying survivor's story. If anything they pulled that off spectacularly!

The caveat being that it would have all been better if this had been an original ip with its' own heroine. Yeah, I sincerely like this Lara based on my personal preferences. But we both know she's not the classic tomb-raiding Lara beyond the namesake.

I'm not against a female protagonist that is more vulnerable and more realistically grounded. I'm not against trying to add more depth to a preexisting icon. Yet all too often revisionists go in with a hammer and a chisel thinking "I can fix her!". Then I must ask,was anything really broken to begin with? Is the character so flawed she needs a make-over or is she simply not a character that appeals to "you" personally? This is self reflection every creator of content should consider,especially when they work on a preexisting property!

Then there's the utterly brutal ways Lara can die in this game. Where acute detail was put into her suffering. It got phased out more in the later iterations and it just comes off as a unnecessary. It screams "This is my violence fetish!" within a franchise that never celebrated gore or torture up until now.

TR-2013 is a worthwhile time investment if you are down for gun collection,beautifully rendered vistas,exploration,snapping necks,bow-hunting cute forest critters to salvage their fur,and big budget set-pieces. Even today the game holds up and because of frequent sales you can get it for pennies on the dollar!

Of course the question remains, "Is TR-2013 a good Tombraider game?". Obviously that depends on which games in TR's ongoing legacy that you enjoyed the most. Personally? I miss Lara Croft's cheeky devil may care attitude,ambidextrous duel pistol wielding,and her unabashed unfiltered sex appeal.

The devil's advocate in the room is these are prequel games thus Lara being more naive and less confident technically makes sense. However,that still doesn't entirely justify such a drastic tonal shift for the franchise.

I had such a good time I could overlook many of the subversive elements but if you are a die-hard fan of "the classics" tread onward with more caution!

Meh. Not the most interesting plot and characters, things often fell too shallow or senseless, just for the sake of giving some game-play entertainment. Enemies and bosses make no sense most of the time (heavily armed soldiers in a forsaken and unapproachable island? makes no sense at all). and you learn to hunt but what for, nobody knows. just another mild franchise delivery after all.

The game is really cool it feels like I am watching an hollywood movie those stunts,action,climax,characters,dialogue,environment,etc . Really cool open world game with many different kinds of crafting.The good thing is that we dont need any kind of third party website for this game.Game is good indeed I dont have any more words to describe this awesome game really a good open world game to explore .Purchase this game at sale it will save your alot of money . The game rating 9.6/10

This game is super immersive and exciting from the very beginning to the end. It indeed makes me feel like I'm straight out of a Hollywood action movie. The pace is really good and no boring task. The only downside is that the camera keeps shaking, and makes me feel a bit dizzy. And sometimes, the player's view is kind of limited in certain scenes. Overall, it's an outstanding game in its genre. 9/10

it has high end graphifics and good story it is more suitable for macbook i am playing on macbook pro it is too good

Our goal is within reach, but we must be vigilant. If we succeed here, a new world awaits. One of our own making.

then blood it shall be.

It was one of the best games I have ever played. The story is amazing, the combat can be challenging but in a good way. The puzzles can be infuriating at times but it's easy to find tutorials and walktroughs that help you online. I've beaten the games in about 14 hours and you can do it quicker but I love that you can explore Optional Tombs and for a 2013 game the graphics are ahead of it's time. Would absolutely reccomend if you're into adventure games with a great main chracter and a great gameplay. LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE!!

Honestly one of the best games ive played its a 10/10 good amount of story and combat and you always feel at edge of whats to come, highly recommend tomb raider

I loved it. The game keeps creating new and interesting challenges as you go through it with a great Lara Croft origin story.

good game and and good environments and visuals are great

Great graphics and mechanics. Enjoy the game for hours on.

one of the best games ive ever played, very worth it for a small amount and you can play it for a long time and also it is very replayable. dont get the first part of the game scare you, 10/10 play it, very worth the money.

Tomb Raider 2013 shows a more inexperienced and vulnerable Lara Croft. She can get quite annoying in the beginning with her constantly out of breath, screaming or crying. She has a bad habit of telling you how to solve the puzzle before you are able to yourself. It does get better further in to the game, as she grows more confident as a person. There is some heavy ludonarrative dissonance with her character though when it comes to killing. At the end of the game there are some lines of dialogue that makes her sound psychotic. The main story is very silly (especially towards the end) and the characters are pretty forgettable. I love the semi open world and exploring it is fun, but I wish the tombs were more interesting. There are several cool setpieces. The game looks quite pretty from time to time. I like the added detail of Lara becoming more battle damaged over the course of the game. The combat is serviceable, it is certainly helped by the upgrades you get along the way. You unlock gun executions later in the game, and they look really goofy. There are some fun traversal tools although i found the climbing to be too slow. I wish they made separate audio sliders for sound effects and dialogue. I feel the length of the game is pretty perfect and they give you new tools and upgrades to keep things interesting.

I'm surprised I never played a Tomb Raider game till I played this and lemme tell ya, it makes me want more!
The action is spot on amazing, the upgrades for your weapons and the combat is super fun.
There are secrets and puzzles and it's very fulfilling when you solve them.
Also the blood and gore is sick along with hunting, which is also super fun to do!
I'm going to go back to the old now because of how cool this game is!
It does have some glitches still but nothing game-breaking.
Overall: 9/10

Fun game with a lot of stuff to find; we're missing this type of games nowadays so it's refreshing to have played something like this.
The difficulty is balanced, the plot is ... okay-ish, and the gameplay can feel clunky at times but it works well.
You can feel that this game was made in a different era from how it plays and the amount of stuff that it has in it - as in, there's not a lot of it, which is a good thing, since it doesn't distract you from the main game

This review is for the story and gameplay throughout the story of Tomb Raider. I will edit this later once I further explore its content. A little bit of context: This is the first third person shooter I have completed and the second I have ever played. That being said...

This was my first ever time playing Tomb Raider and it was awesome. An excellent combination of combat, stealth, and even puzzles. There is a fair amount of lore that will keep you wanting to play more and more to see what the next scene will bring.

I played the story on hard mode and wow. I am stunned. There was never a time where I wasn't engaged. I never thought the visuals were jarring or hard to look at. The music was a perfect complement for each scene further immersing myself into Tomb Raider's world, In short there was never a dull time

However that being said I did run into some issues. Whilst free roaming to do side missions the game soft locked me out and I had to restart from scratch. Fortunately this was in the beginning of the game and only happened once.

Perfect game with fantastic story and kinda easy achievements, but MP got me sad cause nobody was there or bots to play with

Very good game, achievements are pretty easy, no time trials. Looks amazing on my Lenovo RTX 4050 Gaming Laptop with 1080p and 144 Hz, I have all settings maxed out and its much better than playing on a Series x..

I love this game, and even though it’s been around for a while, it’s still just as fun and relevant to play today.

played for the 1st time in 2013, replayed a 2nd time 12yrs after release and even tho the graphics are not super, the game itself is still very enjoyable. nice characters and development (from clean look, to banged up and bruised), nice looking maps and explorable areas, enough different types of enemies and behaviors, and most of all, a fantasy like, thrilling story that keeps you motivated to keep going on. a single run 100% item collection took about 30 hours and honestly, looking at some achievements missed, it shucks that you can not replay a specific chapter in the game, but overall a classic to love.

Tomb Raider (2013) is one of the best games I've ever played. The story is super engaging, the action feels smooth, and watching Lara grow into the badass we know is just so satisfying. There’s a perfect mix of exploration, puzzles, and intense moments. If you’re into adventure games, this one’s a must-play.

Trust me, it’s worth it 👌

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
