"Crystal Dynamics have effortlessly done the impossible with Rise of the Tomb Raider, crafting a sequel that is superior to their reboot in every single way possible. It’s a bigger, more expansive experience that has a captivating narrative, engrossing gameplay loops and an absolutely stunning presentation. Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of the best action games ever crafted, and a generational leap forward as the series looks towards the horizon. Lara Croft is in good hands." ...Read full review

"While 2013’s Tomb Raider reboot was great, fans of the series were pining for more tombs to explore and relics to collect. Crystal Dynamics addressed that and then some in Rise of the Tomb Raider, improving on its upgrade system, telling a fun story, more puzzles, and adding bears, tigers, cheetahs, and more packs of wolves to kill and skin. Just like we remember. " ...Read full review

"The last Lara Croft adventure comes with basic adjustments to its gameplay that make it an enjoyable and memorable experience. We loved the tombs, we loved the puzzles, we loved the exploration, we loved the world, we loved the combat. Even though not everything is completely perfect in Rise of The Tomb Raider, it’s a step in the right direction for the franchise. " ...Read full review

"Rise of the Tomb Raider is exactly what the very title promises. Lara feels more grown-up and she finally returns to the key element of the whole series – tombs. In all respects, her new adventure is better than the previous episode, and it is obvious that Crystal Dynamics went in the right direction." ...Read full review

Rise of The Tomb Raider no solo podría ser fácil el mejor juego de Xbox actualmente, si no que podría entrar en esa discusión por el mejor delRise of The Tomb Raider no solo podría ser fácil el mejor juego de Xbox actualmente, si no que podría entrar en esa discusión por el mejor del año.

Como fan del primer juego, es agradable ver como se tomo al primer juego y se le mejoro en todo aspecto, el poder de la One hace que los escenarios sean espectaculares, una historia lo suficiente para enganchar de principio a fin, y la Lara Croft mas espectacular de toda la saga hacen de este juego un obligatorio para cualquier jugador, y como poseedor de One, es una lastima que los que tienen PS4 no puedan disfrutar (aún) de esta maravilla.

La justa combinación y balanceo entre acción, aventura y hechos sobrenaturales.

Más y mejor.

Si el primer juego acertó en algo, fue en lograr tener un juego de acción sin dejar a un lado el espíritu de sus predecesores con las tumbas, en este juego regresan, más y mejores.

El nuevo sistema de crafteo le da una variedad fresca, teniendo que buscar determinados animales para poder fabricar objetos. Los diferentes atuendos de Lara no solo son para hacer lucir mejor a una ya bella Lara, si no que tienen determinadas bonificaciones.

La historia es lo suficientemente buena para mantenerte al filo por querer saber que pasara a continuación, y con un villano que cumple desde principio a fin, la variedad de objetos y coleccionables añaden mucha rejugabilidad por zonas que ya se visitaron, si bien los combates no son tan épicos, cumplen con hacerte sentir esa adrenalina que un juego de este tipo debería brindar, la durabilidad es maravillosa, pasaran bastantes horas para que lo termines y si eres como yo que les gusta terminar un juego al 100%, bueno, serán varias semanas coleccionando todo.

Este juego ya no cuenta con su incomprendido pero buen multijugador que tenia su antecesor, en cambio, se enfocaron en la campaña y un sistema de "Microtransacciones" que no es obligatorio y que no arruina la experiencia del juego... ejem, Halo 5...
podremos repetir misiones y comprar con puntos del juego o dinero real tarjetas para hacer mas difícil estas misiones o hacerlas mas divertidas con diferentes bonificaciones. Si bien no es la gran modalidad, brinda unas buenas horas de juego.

Rise of The Tomb Raider es una compra obligatoria para cualquier poseedor de One, y la envidia (sana) de los que no tienen one, y podrán disfrutarlo a fines de 2016.

No hay que cometer el error de compararlo con otras sagas, comparémoslo y juzguémoslo con si mismo y con lo que pudo/podía/puede ofrecer, y, siendo así, supero a su predecesor, siendo el mejor juego de la saga.

Este juego se merece un 10 de 10, siendo lo mejor de One este año.

Y por dios, es inevitable enamorarse de Lara.… Expand

Having immensely enjoyed the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider, I was anticipating liking it's sequel, and I did - but it was one of the few gamesHaving immensely enjoyed the 2013 reboot of Tomb Raider, I was anticipating liking it's sequel, and I did - but it was one of the few games that actually managed to surpass my expectations and then some.

Rise of the Tomb Raider takes place mostly in Siberia across 3 absolutely massive and densely packed hubs. The story is decent by videogame standards, having enough twists and turns to keep it engaging and a villain that's a marked improvement from the previous game. Though I could have done without many of the side characters that aid Lara throughout the campaign they don't detract from the experience on the whole. But it's Lara Croft that really makes the game, the character work here is brilliant, Lara can simultaneously be vulnerable and hard faced making her a dangerous and interesting bad ass. It's not often you see women take on this type of role in games and I hope Crystal Dynamics keep her this way.

Combat, stealth and platforming all return with improvements. Combat remains tight, the dynamic cover still flawless in the face of battle and on the highest difficulty enemies can be a real challenge - the game is almost a little too reliant on combat but luckily it's fun enough. Though fighting human enemies can lose it's lustre after a while, fighting animals is an absolute thrill (and hard!). Platforming is similar to the last game but now with some extra moves to make it a bit more varied and stealth has been implemented very well here, in fact it's one of the most fun stealth systems I've used outside of Metal Gear Solid 5.

The best thing about Rise of the Tomb Raider is the optional side tombs, they're absolutely brilliant. Not so challenging that you're pulling your xbox one controller out of the wall after hurling it out of annoyance, but they can be legitimately tricky in places. Not only that but they have a fantastic atmosphere that recalls the old games, my favourite (despite being easier than the others I've attempted) involves raising water levels and it was a joy to play through, I felt like it was 1996 all over again. I do almost wish there were more of them, but they are still plentiful and much bigger than the previous games, I would happily put down more cash to play some tomb DLC's.

The game feels full of content and I'm no where near completing it 100%, but it doesn't feel bloated. The set pieces that push the story along are thrilling and much better implemented than the last games. It's hard to give Rise of the Tomb Raider any negative points, I'd say it's almost the perfect action adventure game! But I'm hoping in the sequel they cut down a little on human slaughtering and really push the tomb and animal combat, which is where the this game get its identity and it really excels. Rise of the Tomb Raider 10/10… Expand

The sequel delivered all the good things from the reboot and then made it better. Rise of the Tomb Raider is a top notch game and a 2018 third installment hopefully will add more to Lara's adventures.… Expand

Found theMy biggest gripes with the last Tomb Raider have been addressed in this game. Challenge is handled reasonably well this time. Found the puzzles too short in easy in the last game and it had very little tomb exploration. It was more about combat. This one has a decent mix of combat, exploration, puzzle solving, and collecting. It doesn't drag on too long in one direction. After beating the game I was happy to explore additional challenge tombs. The only complaint I can think of is that is the over world sections are not set in particularly exciting locations. Would have liked an island setting better. Maybe the next game will let you travel the world more often. Imagine if you relived areas like the great wall of China. Also, where's the duel wielding desert eagles?… Expand

The story isA very solid 3rd person action adventure game, they could have just called this Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade re-imagined. The story is so similar to that movie it's hard to imagine them using anything else as a base for the story. That is not a bad thing but it got to a point later on in the game where it just became rediculous how similar they were. As for the game itself, the gameplay is solid but the framerate and some game crippling bugs showed up quite a bit more than I was expecting with this game. I had multiple freezes and crashes throughout my playthrough and that's not something I can recommend to anyone right now. But honestly the worst thing this game did was releasing on the same day that Fallout 4 did. That alone will cost them sales and that was definitely a dumb move for a company that's trying to get on the same level as Bethesda. Still I liked this game. It's nothing I'll remember for years to come but, like the first Tomb Raider game that Crystal Dynamics did, it's very solid and definitely well worth your time.… Expand
