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.

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.

I highly recommend this game for those who seek adventure and action at the same time, The tombs challenges are very interesting to decipher and complete. It has good graphics and good gameplay.

Great climbing and shooting mechanics. For a game from 2013, it is worth playing, even 12 years later

Graphics ARE QUITE GOOD FOR 2013. 8/10

Story IS VERY GOOD. 10/10

Exploration IS AMAZING 7/10

Game Play / Game mechanics are good 8/10.

Game 10/10.

The story was pretty enjoyable, game play wasn't bad

I love the Tomb Raider franchise. It was the first game that got me into gaming. So when I heard they were doing a reboot, I was a little sceptical but excited. When I played this, I was surprised by this new, young, fragile Lara. Seeing her grow into the character and become strong and become this amazing, strong character made this one of my favourite games. I’ve played this so many times because I just wanted to know all the details from the story. I loved this story and her character progression. Yes, I love the old Lara, but seeing her being vulnerable like this was different but so good.

One of the best Adventure game series out there, Tomb raider has it all bro, immersive gameplay, amazing story & Controls and game mechanics, just the end could have been way way better if they wanted to expand on it, but still very good. Overall a 9/10 EASILY, must play fr

I played this game back in 2014 once and had a lot of fun. Recently I've finished playing the second game in the trilogy Rise of The Tomb Raider and wanted to give this game another go to see how well it holds up and to my surprise, it holds up very well. Lara controls smoothly and the combat scenarios were although repetitive but still very enjoyable. In terms of tone, I think this one is much darker than Rise and the ending is more cinematic. The tombs were fun to solve but compared to the later games lacked scale and challenge. Overall one of best single-player experiences out there.

Good storyline. Had quite a fun on the game play and exploring. Hope something new will be up soon!

A complete revamp of how the series was and its a great approach. Having played the original games on ps1 and those titles on ps2, it's a refreshing experience and still holds dear to someone like myself who enjoyed the first titles. Ran beautifully on the steamdeck but also was suprised to see it working great on my 2015 Macbook Pro!

Fantastisches Story Spiel! Das Gameplay ist eine Mischung aus Erkundung und Kampf, und die Geschichte sehr emotional. Im post Game bzw. Backtracking kann man dann noch mehr über die Lore und Story des Spiels durch das sammeln von Dokumenten erfahren. Große Empfehlung, bin gespannt wie Teil 2 wird!

The best Tomb Raider game ever made. The story is incredible. The gameplay is wonderful. This is a well crafted masterpiece that I would recommend to anyone without hesitation. It's one of my favorite games of all time and my friends like to constantly remind me I'm a fly in the pudding, who likes to talk trash on video games constantly berating them verbally with disgust at the utter contempt I feel for the modern gaming industry. It's a shame and a disgrace that Triple A doesn't seem to me to wish to aspire to make games as great as this anymore...

Completed the game with 66% completion. I'll have to find the will to complete it fully by doing the side quests. QTEs can be a little annoying but overall, enjoyed the game.

Oldie but goodie describes it well. This is a short, nice action rpg game. I finished game with 95% of everything found at ~15hr playtime, with all skills and guns fully upgraded.

It has a lot of joyful moments. It's scripted of course but you get freedom to roam around an area and I liked the discovery, tomb raiding, puzzles and to a degree fighting,

There are a couple egregious, frustrating aspects to it as well. There a lot of quick time events and mostly they are OK, but some are just terrible, don't work unless you have a certain setup, 60fps, vsync on etc. If you google "Wolf Den QTE", you will know what I mean.

Game was quite painful to play because of non-stop shaking camera. It's yet another bad design choice, luckily you can use a nexus mod to fix that.

You will probably not going to be able platinum this at this point, as you would need multiplayer achievements. Again, bad choice.

I got this game for $2 and it’s a really fun game with an origin story with puzzle solving, stunning visuals, intense combat.

my dad grew up playing the tomb raider games, and then bought the game for me on the PS3. Never even played it because i was obsessed with Lego games and PVZ at the time lmao.

But this was my first time actually playing it and I had a blast. Easily 10/10

Game is good with interesting story but its multiplayer is dead and because of that its achievements are pure torture

Very good game, not bad graphics, good story, awesome locations, cool gameplay. But there's one big problem, and that's piece of shit online achievements.

9/10

Finally a female protagonist that won't complain about today's problem in her dialogue and she has a complete focus on what's happening in her world.
How i wish modern games character interaction is like this and not some blabbering propaganda of IRL stuff.

-1 because how tf is this woman has so much durability unlike the others? also in the first scene she got stab at the gut and the next thing is it got healed??

The game is really awesome! Sure, the graphics aren't for everyone, but that doesn't matter. It's about the story, and the developers have really come up with something here. From start to finish.

What I found particularly cool is the combination of storytelling and the really good leveling system. You could improve Lara's various weapons and skills and thereby gain small advantages in battle.

The story is simply wonderful, you can really put yourself in Lara's shoes and understand the connection between her and her friends.

What I found cool were the story moments in which you had to press different buttons. I also liked the various puzzles and courses, which weren't always easy, but made you think. In my opinion, that's what really counts in a game.

The combat system is also worth mentioning, because it's phenomenal. Whenever I was able to take out enemies from behind with a bow and arrow, it really put me in a good mood. And the other weapons were really fun too. Just shooting down a whole horde of enemies, yeeeeeah!

Last but not least, I can definitely say that the game was worth it, especially for the money. I only paid €10.99 for the Survivor trilogy. You really can't go wrong with that. "Tomb Raider" is very similar to "Uncharted", so I can definitely recommend it to "Uncharted" fans, but also to people who just want to experience a thrilling adventure that captivates you from the first minute. A gripping story, breathtaking landscapes and gameplay that perfectly balances action, exploration and puzzles.

Laters. I’m outta here!
Big shoutout to my friend CHARLYPKL who inspired me to play this !

Really good game, loved the gameplay and exploration of it

Absolutely Magnificent, 10/10... superb story game play and amazing characters.

Tomb Raider (2013) is game with good graphics, an OK story, simple shooting passages and something that I am not sure if it should be called a puzzle.

The game supports modern Hardware and peripherals without problem and works flawlessly on Linux and still looks very good to this day. There are some weird things like pop ins of assets in cutscenes and physics, mostly Lara’s hair, glitching at high FPS, but nothing major or game breaking.
The game demonstrates its graphical fidelity already at start when the ship of Lara and her crew crash on a Japanese Island. Since this is a linear game without sidequests, you’ll have to follow the story and which will lead you towards new areas to explore. Areas seem to be either of two categories;
Large and HUB like, where there are several branching paths to take on and the paths themselves, quite linear and with a certain goal to reach, until you return to a HUB like area. In these areas are collectibles, which give you a bit of background knowledge about the Island and its dangers and currency for upgrades.

Dangers are mostly enemies. You can fight with the weapons and equipment you gain by progressing the story. Most if not all of your equipment can be used in some way for combat, but shooting at your target proved to be more efficient 99% of the time. You can upgrade your weapons and abilities, one needing currency the other Skill points gained via Level ups. Upgrading Laras abilities is more then mere stat boosts, unlike the weapons, which besides a visual overhaul only get more ammunition or damage. The excuse for puzzles was mostly delegated towards “Tombs”, which are side areas that revolve around a specific mechanic, but don’t go a step further, posing next to no challenge. What remains of puzzles or any kind of skill check in the main story is simple and straightforward, just enjoy the spectacle because you cannot interact with it most of the time.

The story itself is predictable, with a few shock moments and a surprising amount of deaths in the main cast. To me it felt like I was watching stuff happen similar to a movie, instead of interacting with the cast or the story itself. Additionally Lara seems shocked and scared at every death, but will happily kill every person she comes across in a sometimes very brutal way or the other way around when she gets wounded in a cutscene and proceeds to jump and climb around like a squirrel. At the end, the game unveils the supernatural part of the Island and its inhabitants at which point the setpieces get really visually really impressive, but getting there was a slog, consisting of repetitive shooting passages and climbing challenges. The only really fun thing at this time was getting to the collectibles which were admittedly cleverly hidden inside the game world.


The game has a multiplayer component, but the single player combat drove me away from ever trying to play it.

TL;DR
Good Visuals, Meh story and Gameplay. Next to no challenge but a fun collectathon if you like that type of game.

Good game. I bought it on a sale for 3.99 , played until 36% of the story and ditched it cause at the time it seemed very generic, like an indiana jones ripoff and a little too intense (i play scary games i just bought looking for a casual game). After sitting in my library for 4 months i finally decided to give it another shot and i have to say i was completely wrong. Once i finally got an actual gun in my hands i felt unstoppable. This game is fire, i dont know how it slipped me all these years. Truly a hidden gem

Game is 10/10. Just Completed the game and will be now buying next tomb raider to continue the story of great Lara Croft

Ive had this sitting in my games library for awhile now and dint really have much intention of playing it, until i decided to give it a look. What i game, i couldnt put it down until i finished it, Great story, great game play and great looking, such a well thought out playable game, i cant recommend it enough.

You will likely be having fun playing this game. The graphics is decent and story is great.

Not good like traditional Tomb Raider, but it is a good action game.

i have never played the retro type tomb raider games but because of this game alone i got really attached to the tomb raider franchise. graphics and ui is so ahead of the time it can even stood up to today's standards. Everyone should play this game as it is filled with adventurous thrilling excitement.

Very nice story game I like it

I have thoroughly enjoyed all 3 games of this trilogy. ROTR is the last one to be conquered and i am in the midsr of that feat. Enjoy!

yup just completed at 97%, yup totally worth it 10/10 game. Do not hesitate to buy this game, one of the best reboot in gaming history and it still holds up as of 2025 February.

One of the most immersive and exciting adventures I had ever had the pleasure to experience in a video game. This was my first entry to the Tomb Raider-Franchise and I was hooked right from the get-go. Great gameplay, wonderful story-telling and very stunning visuals for a almost 13 year old game. One thing that I really enjoyed about this reboot, was how we get to see Lara from a diffrent perspective this time. Not the typical macho, masculine bad girl she may had been portraied as in the old games (which I can't really confirm givin that I haven't played them), but rather this ordinary young college graduate that got thrown into this traumatising world and was forced to do horroable things in order to survive. We get to see every step of her development as we play through the game. We got to feel her pain, her fear, her worries about her loved ones and her will to keep going for them. That to me is one of the biggest strengths in a good story: when you get to empathize to the protagonist and building a genuine connection towards them. That's why I play and love these types of games so much.

I don't really have much to say anymore. Technical issues were minor, a few lag spikes then and there but nothing crazy. Overall, a very solide game! 9/10

Can recommend it to anyone who likes a good action-adventure and great story to enjoy it with. You're not gonna regret it. Cheers!

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

This "game" is one continuous string of QTE nonsense that does not constitute as game play. Outside of QTE, what little game play is left is mediocre, and most of the game is nonsensical. I hope they never make a game like this again.

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.
