Tomb Raider

LOVE LOVE LOVE, everything about this game is amazing. The graphics, the textures, the story, the characters, the plot.. everything really! 10/10.

Hi! Let's get down to business.

PROS:
1.Cinematic story, deep characters, and rich cultural, Japanese experience with a lot of actual story/mythology
(and NO people with RIDICULOUSLY big b00bs/d!cks like in the first generation's TR/LC games)

2.Realistic and ''flowing'' graphics, with a lot of options and settings. Equal to today's COD or Resident Evil's ones.

3.User-friendly Mapping Settings, at least for controllers like Xbox, and DualSense ones.

4.It's both a ''loner-wolf'', and a team-player game with the Multi-player Feature.

5. Section in the ''Extras'' that's exclusive to the Characters and Environment's concept art, dedicated for the aspiring artists, digital developers and ''hard-core'' Tomb Raider fans out there.

6.A wholesome section dedicated to ''Credits'' team, full of group photos of the talented people, behind Lara's adventure.

7.On-point sound features, and with really epic music in crucial moments of Lara's arc.

8. Less than 15GB Hard Drive occupation.

9.It's Lara Croft.

ON A MORE PERSONAL NOTE: my childhood dream since I was a 7-year-old girl/tomboy, envious of the ''chads'' living their student life, and playing it non-stop in bad@ss internet cafe shops, full of expensive and shiny Gaming PCs back then, in the early 2000's.

Now I own a colorful KATANA A17/16GB/1TB/AMD Ryzen 7/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050, and for me it's more than decent like the majority of users say. If you own it or a similar one of the MSI, you probably won't face any challenges( except some BSOD's, because of the general ''overheating'' nature of MSIs).

CONS:

1.''Normal Mode'' can be a bit challenging, specifically when Lara faces twice a dozen Solarii, all by herself, and she ends up dying over and over or, when she has to solve puzzles like the one back in the ship, attempting to save her friend Alex. We need more hints than the ''LB/Instinct Button'' in such cases, which I admit, I took the help of some great walkthroughs on YouTube. I wouldn't have finished it otherwise.

2. The main game ends on 60%. That's not a ''con'' per se, and the following tasks, like locating the ''Treasure Maps'', ''Relics'' or, ''Optional Tombs'' are pretty achievable, EXCEPT the ''STAR'' ONES, at the end of each list in the ''Fast Travel'' section, because we CAN'T USE the ''LB Button'' for them. If you know, you DO KNOW that you have to search and inspect EVERY SINGLE CORNER for them, even in broad locations like the ''Shipwreck Beach'', among ships, and mountaintops or, for small ornaments on trees, about the ''Ghost Hunter'' task. That's the reason that me, personally speaking, after a lot of EFFORT OF MONTHS I haven't achieved 100%, but 98%. I will post screenshots about it on my profile.

Warning: YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACHIEVE 100%! Trust me, the game is awesome, and only if you are a perfectionist you should reach that. But be warned, that TAKES TIME.

LAST but NOT LEAST:

I haven't a Square Enix Membership to include it in my ''Cons'' or haven't tried the ''Multi-playing'' Feature yet to give my ''2 cents'' for it, but if you do, please share them with me, and the whole community of ''Tomb Raider Series''.

Thank you ppl for your time to my ''essay''.

I hope for ''adventure to find you'';)

I recommend this this game for all you players that enjoy action packed fun. Only down side is that when you play on a HP laptop the game will crash weirdly so thats your down side but anyway recommended. :)

Lara Croft is one of the hottest video game characters for when this came out 🤤🤤🤤

The only way to beat this game is to pray each new bug you find doesn't soft lock your game.

Solid action-adventure game. Though the gameplay is neither overly novel, nor too challenging, it is well-made, with well-designed graphics and environments. Storyline is coherent and engaging, based on an intriguing premise. Game flows seamlessly between cinematic sequences and gameplay, with lots of intensity and action along the way. Progression is quite linear; but that is okay, because immersion is high, and the story draws you forward.

As good as when I first played it. Actually good game design 99% of the time which compared to today is insane. Some bugs, and UI issues from patches I'm assuming but nothing too bad. Best Lara character model in the series as well. 100% in a little over 13 hours, short and sweet, not overly convoluted. On to Rise now

hours are low bc i played 90% of the game on the epic version. good story, good gameplay thats about it rise is still superior

Very nice graphics for a game from 2013. fun and need atleast 8 hours to finish.

This game runs almost perfectly on Steam deck on default settings with stable 90 fps except some big locations where I got drops to 70 fps, fans are quite loud tho. Backtracking is nice too. I didn't expect that locations will change (weather, day/night cycle) depending on the story and some events.
Hunting was a disappointing because it needs you only to farm EXP and scrap (+some achievement) but it's not a big deal. And also shooting part of the game got boring at the end to me so I dropped it

Not the best adventure game ever made but very fun indeed. It is a mostly polished game with fun mechanics and fun combat that doesn't overstay its welcome. Speaking of the narrative, it is not surprising at all but good overall. If you played The Last of Us or Uncharted before, you may be a little disappointed because it is not quite as good. Buy it if you want a fun 10 to 15 hrs game.

Now entering spoiler territory here: I thought Lara's friends were mostly in her head, seeing as they would randomly appear all over the island at rare moments. Like the island is huge and dangerous and she has a thousand wounds but she can somehow find friends all over the place without a single scratch? Maybe they all died in the crash and she was just imagining them to not go crazy at being all alone in a sadistic island. But no, the friends were real which was quite odd. Seems the devs created a gritty game but couldn't let go of the power of friendship. Meh, wasted opportunity.

Gameplay - 5/10
Story - 6/10
Graphics - 5/10
Bugs/Technical - 8/10
Total - 6/10

A solid reboot introducing dynamic, brutal and action packed gameplay, that this series needed ever since Uncharted became a competitor to the franchise. I also did enjoy more grounded take on Lara.
9/10

fantastic game! great story and puzzles were challenging! highly recommend!

I've just recently played and beat this game and fully aware it was part of a trilogy, I still found myself thinking "I don't see how she's getting outta this." The story was incredible and not just Lara's story the side characters for the most part were all fully formed. No one felt unnecessary or boring. It was a great adventure.

Rating: 8.5/10

Overview: Tomb Raider (2013) is a reboot of the classic action-adventure franchise, offering a fresh origin story for the legendary adventurer Lara Croft. Developed by Crystal Dynamics, the game takes a more grounded and gritty approach to Lara's character, portraying her transformation from a vulnerable young woman into the hardened explorer she's known for. Combining exploration, puzzle-solving, and intense combat, the 2013 iteration offers a blend of action and survival mechanics set on the mysterious island of Yamatai.

Story: The story follows Lara Croft, who, along with her crew, becomes stranded on the island of Yamatai while searching for the lost kingdom of Himiko. The island, however, is home to many dark secrets, including a dangerous cult and other perils that put Lara’s life in constant jeopardy. Throughout the game, Lara faces various challenges and fights to survive, all while uncovering the island’s mysteries and discovering her own strength.

The narrative is engaging, focusing on Lara's personal journey and her development as a character. The story touches on themes of survival, trust, and the cost of discovery, with the stakes rising as Lara delves deeper into the island’s secrets. The characters are well-developed, though the focus is primarily on Lara, making her transformation and growth the heart of the plot.

Gameplay: Tomb Raider (2013) brings a mix of exploration, platforming, puzzle-solving, and combat. The controls are smooth and accessible, with an emphasis on both exploration and action. As Lara navigates the island, players engage in intense combat against various enemies, including mercenaries, wild animals, and the island’s cultists. The combat system is robust, offering a variety of weapons, from bow and arrows to firearms, as well as a range of stealth and melee attacks.

The game also features light RPG elements, allowing players to upgrade Lara’s weapons and abilities as they progress. This adds a layer of depth to the gameplay, encouraging players to explore the island thoroughly to collect resources and improve their equipment. There are also collectible items and hidden treasures scattered throughout the game, rewarding those who take the time to explore off the beaten path.

Graphics and Performance: The graphics in Tomb Raider (2013) are exceptional, with lush environments, stunning character models, and impressive lighting effects. The island of Yamatai is beautifully designed, ranging from treacherous cliffs to dense jungles, all rendered in high detail. The character animations, particularly Lara’s, are lifelike, and the facial expressions convey emotion and intensity. The cinematic cutscenes are integrated seamlessly into the gameplay, making the narrative feel fluid and immersive.

The game runs smoothly on most modern systems, with well-optimized performance. On higher settings, the visuals are breathtaking, but even at lower settings, the game still maintains a high level of quality.

Audio Design: The audio design in Tomb Raider is excellent, with a haunting and atmospheric soundtrack that complements the game’s tone. The sound effects are realistic, from the sounds of Lara’s footsteps on different surfaces to the crackling of fire and distant roars of danger. The voice acting, particularly from Camilla Luddington as Lara Croft, is solid, adding depth to the character’s emotions as she faces peril after peril.

Challenges: While the game is generally well-balanced, some sections can feel a bit repetitive, especially in terms of combat. Some of the puzzles are relatively simple, and while they provide a nice break from the action, they don’t challenge players too much. The difficulty ramps up during some of the more intense sequences, especially during the combat-heavy portions, but overall, the game provides an enjoyable experience without being overwhelmingly difficult.

Final Thoughts: Tomb Raider (2013) successfully reinvents the franchise, offering a modern and more personal take on Lara Croft’s origin story. The game blends action, exploration, and survival mechanics into a thrilling adventure, with a great narrative that makes you care about Lara’s journey. Its visuals, gameplay mechanics, and immersive world design make it a standout entry in the action-adventure genre.

Pros:

Engaging story with strong character development
Beautiful graphics and immersive world design
Satisfying combat mechanics with a variety of weapons
Excellent audio and voice acting
Exploration and collectibles add depth to gameplay
Cons:

Combat can become repetitive
Some puzzles are relatively easy
Certain sections of the game feel linear
Tomb Raider (2013) is a fantastic reboot that blends classic Tomb Raider elements with modern gameplay features. It offers an emotionally engaging and thrilling adventure for players who enjoy action, exploration, and survival mechanics. Highly recommended for fans of action-adventure games and those looking to experience Lara Croft's origin story in a fresh light.

Great game that is worthy of the positive reviews. Never played any of the Tomb Raider games for background but this game offers a pretty good story with a great protagonist, good graphics and a nice remote island to explore. The 100% can be achieved with minimal extra work other than the collectibles but they are not bad in this game. The game also has several baked in mechanics to assist in finding things as well which is a huge plus as well as a good tracking system for what you already have or need to find.

I don't really have any complaints about this game. Overall a great game and experience and I look forward to playing the sequels. Highly recommend.

One of the best games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. Played this game 3 times on the PlayStation and bought it when it first came out on the Xbox, and now I'll be able to play it on Steam. Love this game, and will always come back to it from time to time :D

An unforgettable journey that redefines Lara Croft’s origins. The story is gripping, the atmosphere is immersive, and the gameplay blends exploration, combat, and survival mechanics beautifully. Watching Lara evolve from a frightened survivor into the strong, determined adventurer we know is truly captivating. Every moment on Yamatai feels intense, making you genuinely care about her struggle.

I've never properly played any games before, I only recently started getting into playing games myself instead of watching other people play. This was AMAZINGGGG!!! absolutely worth the money, i played this for like 3-4 days after school and plus i love the story.

This is more of a story game with parkour + puzzles here and there but the puzzles weren't that challenging, it was rather stealth, shooting enemies + parkour + a really nice stroyline!

Replayability is rather when you want to experience the story again so not that much, however still awesome!!

The only small complaint I have is that which button to press while qtes don't show up and it was a little annoying but other than that solid game, very smooth even for a causal games player like me.

Overall: 8 out of 10!! (personal rating)

Lara is very hot

I don't know, but something draws me to this game. A lot of things frustrate me and it's generally a frivolous game in some ways, but I still find it fun.

i like it and enjoyed playing it.I played Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Rise of the Tomb Raider prior to this game and now got the whole story completed.

Notes: I gave it a 5 becouse i have personal grudge against the frustrating fast paced critical moments when you have to press certain buttons quickly but cant get enough time to actually find it and you die.

Very intriguing, with A LOT of surprise elements. Insane graphics, a lot of turns of events. Many weapons and a lot of things to explore and discover.

11/10 must play! great story line and fighting gels very well with the character.

I’m literally Lara Croft

Good length, enjoyable, doesn't get repetitive until near the end.

good, i though graphics in this game is bad becauce release at 2013... but it's not bad

This game is fun: action, adventure, puzzles. Yeah, really like it up till now.

Great update for the series, that has a great balance of supernatural and human obstacles.

As a long-time fan of the original Tomb Raider games, I found the 2013 reboot deeply disappointing. While the game excels in visuals and technical execution, it sacrifices the series' core identity: exploration and puzzles, in favor of relentless combat and excessive action sequences. The "Shantytown" section epitomizes this shift, forcing players into repetitive, nonsensical battles with hordes of enemies, completely sidelining the essence of discovery that defined the classic games.

The narrative also falls apart under basic scrutiny. For instance, the sheer number of fresh corpses, mummified remains, and skeletons scattered across the island suggests that it must have been the unfortunate destination of dozens—if not hundreds—of fully loaded cruise ships over decades! And let’s not forget the absurd logistics: how do you even feed and sustain an army of enemies that large on an isolated island? To top it off, aside from the mummified queen, there are no women in the cult that occupies the island, just an endless parade of men. It’s not only implausible but also a glaring failure in representation. Laughable.

For those seeking the intelligent exploration and challenging puzzles of the original series, this game may leave you frustrated and exhausted. If you're looking for an action-heavy adventure, it might suit your tastes, but fans of the classic Tomb Raider should approach with caution!

Really good story, draws you into the game the more you play.
Game-play is really interesting, allowing you to choose how to progress in combat scenes.
Enjoyed a lot.
10/10

Narrative to origin story of Lara Croft in this game are amazing, i'm so glad they make story that focused in main purposes and not expanding it till the end that Trinity doesn't even mentioned in dialogue, it's just mentioned little in the documents. The stories are very much just good when you realize that they are not making story about Tomb Raiding but rather about survival with mysticism spice

Although side characters here are not really memorable, they really nailed it when it comes to Lara, her design and progress of characters are really interesting

I also very love about the environments design of this game, most of it are beautiful, from start till the end, Shanty town, temple, tombs, shipwreck.

If i should reccomend this game to others, i just want to say one thing, if you're playing this to 100% achievements then prepare to facing dead multiplayer grinding hell. 8/10, SAM!!!!

The first game in the trilogy, It was a game i got years ago on a massive discount sale and I can say it was worth that and more.

The game is centered around being stranded and surviving on a desolate island. The game play is solid. It has intense moments, the moments of having to rush parkouring is some of my favorite moments in the game. The combat is good. Overall i fell in love with the new trilogy and i think its worth the time.

However i did have some issues due to it being an old port but once you get past that and theres plenty of guides to combat that, It is a very smooth experience.

Honestly surprised how well it runs on the Legion Go. Runs butter smooth even on low performance settings to save battery. Still invested into 3 battery banks 65 to 80watt 20000mah so I do not have to plug in initial power adapter. It is very good game runs excellent without any issues

I've beaten this game twice previously. Once for the PlayStation 3, and then again when it was released on PlayStation 4. This is an excellent game. The story is interesting, and the game play is fun. This was the first game in a new trilogy. Grab any of the Tomb Raider titles when they are on sale. These sales are really frequent, and all the Tomb Raider games are always priced well. This game is a good relaunching point if you haven't played Tomb Raider for the last decade.

At the time of writing this, this is a 12 year old game. I would hold it up against most modern games and it honestly doesn't feel or look like a 12 year old game despite its age. The campaign isn't incredibly long, but it was great fun.

The first Reboot in the series, i still remember got hyped seeing the trailer for the first time and this game do deliver, but... beware of moaning

A short, but EXHILARATING experience with action-packed gameplay.

Maybe it was better back in the day when it released, but this was one of the most "meh" games I've attempted playing in a long time.

I loved Tomb Raider. The growth of the main character is one of the strongest points of the game, followed by game-play, then story setting. A game that came out 12 years before I had a chance to play it was completely worth my time and investment. Progression of the character abilities and weapons were handled very well and I truly felt stronger when I arrived at the next campsite. The game-play and combat was excellent and blended so well with the puzzles. The plot was very good and did not drag on. Overall, TR is a magnificent game and should be cherished by the gaming community. I look forward to the sequel and how they improve on such a strong foundation.

very good but couldve been abit longer, going to play through the rest of the series

I really enjoyed exploring and the layout. Progress is well paced and the story good overall. Only had some kind of bug at the QtE at the end and was able to finish lowering the resolution to 800-600 (after I googled the solution). Great game highly recommended.

I like the overall gameplay. It's good and keeps you locked in.

Truth is I recommend this game, but I have issues that I feel like are important to address and that you are probably looking for if you hit the negative review button.

One word I'd use to describe this game as a whole is... Mediocre
Graphics, still hold up and are well done
but gameplay is... finicky
the story, the main over arching story is well done, the little bits though are... ehh, hit or miss really
TL:DR at the bottom

Graphics, They hold up, if you're looking for problems then you'll find them like flat planes used for the hair, Lara being the only character who's appearance changes throughout the game, repeating texture tiling, there's issues and there's more of them. Most of the time, you really don't notice them or are in the background enough to not draw your attention. Otherwise the graphics are fairly stunning at times, things are well communicated like having climbing walls use one textures or jumps/scramble jumps using white paint, it's communicative and well thought out.

Gameplay. As I said it's finicky, there's jumps that you should be able to do but the game stops you, there's literally a door in the third act Lara could very easily climb over to get to a secret lab yet you can't climb it at all. At times I also felt frustrated with the parkour cause I knew I could make a jump and I knew how, but the character was difficult to control. There's not a lot of parkour either, and it's all very basic stuff, was left dissapointed and wanting more; even with my previous stated issue, it wasn't that bad.
combat was interesting, you get four weapons and there's a simple but good stealth system, my biggest problem is at times, it feels like you're supposed to action hero your way through instead of stealth, which is fine, if it didn't put a checkpoint right at the door and when you load said checkpoint, all the enemies aggro onto you as if they've seen you the entire time. Otherwise, finishers are quick and impactful, combat has a fair amount of unique moves like throwing sand into peoples eyes or doing a dodge attack with a qte, I enjoyed it at least.
Concerning other mechanics, the upgrade system is fairly good, though there's a problem with scrap that I'll get to in a moment. But finding parts for your weapons and using experience to upgrade what moves Lara can do felt good and well paced overall. However, the hunting system is annoying, the biggest problem with it is that when you can't find any more scrap boxes, you're next way to get scrap is to hunt animals once you've gotten a perk, and it was not only so slow, but if you hunt in an area too much, the animals stop spawning and you get a notification saying that the area is hunted out. This wouldn't be a problem if the game told you when animals would start spawning again if at all. I ended up using cheat engine to get the final bit of scrap I needed cause it was no longer enjoyable trying to find an animal to kill
Speaking of hunting, this game feels a little confused on what it wants to be if it wants to be a survival or action game, thankfully there's no hunger cause that'd be miserable with the hunting mechanic, but it feels like they realized it last minute and quickly patched something over it. I dunno how to put it.
Also the Camera can be quite frustrating to work with when you're looking up but walking around something to get a better look at it

Finally, the story, don't worry, no spoilers... cause the game spoils itself. in reality, I'll only talk about one of the characters and remain vague on the story. Now as I said before, the overarching story is good, good plot, good them, good location. The problem is every moment inbetween I can tell you right now that every character is forgettable, I don't even remember their names except Lara, Sam, and Roth and for different reasons. Lara is obvious, she's the main character. Sam is the titular damsel in distress, so you'll remember her name from Lara and any other character screaming out her name. Roth is the only character that seems to actually care about Lara and help her out. Any others don't appear or the spoiler I mentioned earlier, the twist villian who is so obvious you can read it from a mile away though thankfully he gets the deserving death of a twist villian as the actual villian does his thing.

TL:DR of this, Graphics hold up well, gameplay is finicky, story is mediocre with most of the characters being forgettable.
Get the game if it's going cheap, it'll keep you occupied, at it's current price it's also not too bad though you may be better shoving it into your wishlist and waiting on getting it till a sell happens.

Wow. That was a great game. A worthy reboot of the old Tomb Raider games. Lara Croft evolves here from an innocent young woman to a tough survivor. She tries to escape from an island with her crew and has to deal with nature, cultists and samurai. And she does so in spectacular action scenes, fast-paced escapes, in impressive locations with great graphics at the time and a bombastic soundtrack. There are also creative puzzles in the tombs, collectibles, challenges, extras and a multiplayer mode. Still highly recommended today.

Good adventure, nice platforming. Lara is pretty.

Just finished the game in 2 days.
So nostalgic to play after all those years of the release date.
I Love it. From start to finish. Lara is so brave and careful for her friends and have a great personality.
Thrilling history. I couldn't stop playing. I Definitely recomend 100%. :)

It's garbage. Not only the worst of the Nu-Lara trilogy, but probably the worst mainline Tomb Raider game overall. Not an ounce of the precision platforming with a kickass heroine that made the franchise popular. Instead we get boring cover shooter interspersed with cinematic "run through exploding building" sequences. The story is nothing to write home about either, with a whiny portagonist in cutscenes, who spends most of the gameplay sections mowing down hundreds of people, making Rambo look like a pacifist in comparison. This game is an insult to the name of Tomb Raider.
