Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Review (PS4) - PlayStation LifeStyle

PSLS: Rebooting Tomb Raider and telling an origins story of the iconic Lara Croft was a pricey endeavor for Square Enix, taking practically all of 2013 to reach profitability. With the hard work of concept and production out of the way, bringing Tomb Raider to next generation platforms is a brilliant way to both extend the earnings potential of the product while delivering a definitive experience to those that either missed out on Tomb Raider the first time, or simply want to relive it in its glory. The question is—are the visual and performance upgrades worth paying the full retail price of $59.99 if you’ve already played it or when the PS3 version is available for half the price?

Holy crap, R&C Rift Apart is a huge score for those who haven't played it! It was so good.

just_looken341d ago

i agree though I don't have a ps5 but i will activate this when the prices get out of apple range.

outsider1624341d ago

Well lets hope its soon, because you never know when the game will leave psplus.

DivineHand125341d ago

I don't think it is fair to compare the PS5 to apple prices since an iphone hasn't been at $499 since the original iphone launched.

One thing I can say at your benefit though is that in gaming then longer you wait to buy, the better the deal, though if you wait too long your backlog will get out of control.

LordoftheCritics341d ago

Rift Apart is the best chill game I've played this gen.

System seller on PS Plus is a huge win.

roadkillers340d ago

I think you can redeem over your phone, no? When you get a PS5 you will have games.

MasterChief3624341d ago

A huge score for those of us that didn't just buy it literally one day ago and it's on the way now :'(
But I guess it's good to own it, as well! And I don't think I want to get PlayStation Plus right now, so it's not a huge loss. But it is still a little saddening.

I got my PS5 today, actually! Been wanting to play Rift Apart for so long. And I played Astro's Playroom at a friend's house, and that was when I was like, "I NEED THIS." Such a fun little game with so many wonderful references to Playstation stuff!

Anyways.

potatoseal341d ago

You could just re-sell your copy that is coming in the mail. But it's up to you. Rift Apart is so damn good. It blew my mind how good it looks and plays.

Dirty_Lemons341d ago (Edited 341d ago )

I hope you love it, dude. Nothing beats a shiny new console, and the PS5 is 👌 May I recommend Returnal, challenging but not Soulsborne-level challenging, and extremely good making use of those new haptics you're going to be playing around with.

Tapani340d ago

Hey I'm a relatively new PS5 owner here, but how does this new PS Plus system work? So if I go in at the Premium level for a month, it would mean I can play Horizon 2 and Ratchet & Clank just like that, right?

closed_account340d ago

Yea, you don't even need to sub Premium if those are the 2 games you're after, they're included on PS Plus Extra.

Premium just adds the legacy library of PS1, PS2, PS3 titles that are on the service.

potatoseal341d ago

Played and platinumed Ratchet And Clank: Rift Apart at launch. Loved it so much. 9/10

Am I going to download and play Bus Simulator 21? You bet :-D

potatoseal341d ago

Was just thinking I wish Bus Simulator was PSVR 2 compatible. Imagine looking over your shoulder at the passengers you pick up? Haha

*turns head around while driving*

"Shut the Fk up back there!!!! You want me to crash the bus?!?!?!?!!"

Davros69341d ago

haha, you sound like an Aussie

MrNinosan341d ago

Have to download it as well. Is it compatible with wheel?

potatoseal341d ago

Yeah apparently it's compatible with a fair few wheels. Game has been out a while.

just_looken341d ago

Yeah the vr experience on playstation continues to be crap compared to pc sadly.

Bus sim 21 vr on pc
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

And do do that well its on pc duh crap $700 console should do vr on alot more than select titles

potatoseal341d ago

PS VR2 is actually really awesome man. I have one. It's only new, so maybe I will wait for Bus Simulator 21 to get a VR update then. Judging by that video, the game looks fun in VR

just_looken341d ago

I doubt it will look at psvr 1

Dandalandan117341d ago

Will definitely download Bus Simulator as well.
My son will surely have a blast with it.

meanmallard341d ago

PS Plus IS the best gaming subscription.

S2Killinit341d ago

It really is the best way to go.

crazyCoconuts341d ago

For a lot cheaper than the other guys even

PhillyDonJawn341d ago

102 games aww that's cute 🤭

Petebloodyonion341d ago

Well technically the best deal remains by far EPIC games free offering since well it's free but aside that it's a hell of deal :)

andy85341d ago

Its funny, a few months ago this would have got so many down votes but it probably is now, the Extra/Deluxe service is flourishing. Even a day one game this month is added

andy85341d ago

@phillyDonJawn that's games added, not total. PS sub has more games on it than Gamepass but keep reaching 😂

potatoseal341d ago

@ PhillyDon, lol there are something like 534 games on PS Plus Extra right now. That is not including PS Plus Premium

ModsDoBetter341d ago

Seriously didn’t even realise how good the PS offering was.

I’m on the highest tier but the only things I gravitate toward are the two monthly games.

It was only recently that I found how to properly browse the PS+ section on the dashboard and there’s a ridiculous amount of high quality content on there.

I own a good amount of them either physical or digital but still a great selection.

Crows90341d ago (Edited 341d ago )

Yup. Ps extra is cheaper than gamepass ultimate as well...until those quality Xbox 1st party start actually kicking in ps+ is the most affordable and highest quality service.

I'll be trying out legion and humanity for sure.

MasterChief3624341d ago

So how does it work? Are these all available now? Or is it a rotation system? I literally only got my PS5 today and am a bit of a newb of this console generation.

potatoseal341d ago (Edited 341d ago )

These are all available right now I'm pretty sure. But I will post the actual lists of games. You will know in advance if anything was to be taken off this list too. A good time in advance.

PS Plus Essential (lowest price) - is the normal PS Plus and you get games every month. Here are the games for this month...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

PS Plus Extra (mid price) - Is same as essential, BUT has all these extra games from this list, except for the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP games, (there aren't that many). More releasing every month. Here is all the games from PS Plus Extra
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

PS Plus Premium - same as essential and extra. But has all the PS1 and PS2 and PS3 and PSP games. More games releasing every month. Here is the list of games from this one...
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

Glad you got a PS5. It's a good investment. So much to play and so much to come. Have fun man

Ps5conehead341d ago

These are available may 16th

meanmallard341d ago

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Is fantastic, I can't recommend it highly enough.

Even though you have never heard of it it went on to sell well over a million copies.

meanmallard341d ago

If even one person reads this and plays it and has half as much fun as I did I'll be super happy.

jznrpg341d ago

I own a physical copy good game

CrimsonWing691135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

So what I should’ve done was pass this up on the 360, pass these up on PS4, and now get them? makes sense.

LOGICWINS1135d ago

I personally never played Rise or Shadow, but I loved the OG reboot on PS4. One of the few 1080p/60fps games at the time. I may pick this up if I see it for $20 on a sale.

seanpitt231135d ago

The first 2 was good I finished them played the 3rd one as it was free on psplus but lost interest after a couple of hours.. don’t have that much time on my hands like I did before and the game wasn’t pulling me in

Mr Pumblechook1135d ago

Not to be pedantic but the Blood Ties mission isn’t listed.

jznrpg1135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

The Reboot was great but the two after just didn’t do it for me at all and I just stopped playing after a bit

Sonic-and-Crash1135d ago

i played Shadow of TR ...It s a very good game indeed ..they ve done ton of work on it...Extremely good environments /visuals/models etc (comparable to Uncharted 4 and very simlar gameplay ..it s a solid AAA

LOGICWINS1135d ago

Based on that recommendation, I’ll pick it up!

nevin11135d ago

Shadow of TR(and UC4) sucked big time. Just walking, climbing and boring cutscenes.

ActualWhiteMan1135d ago

@Nevin what were you expecting… a first person shooter? 🤣

Neonridr1135d ago

I mean eventually everything comes in a collection or remastered set. Gotta take the plunge sometimes.

stiggs1135d ago

Hey everyone, CrimsonWing69 has already played these games so the Survivor Trilogy is cancelled.

Sorry everybody else who has interest in this release. Sorry.

CrimsonWing691135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

Or y’know, you could freaking do what we used to do and just buy them on the console they were released on. Geezus how did you survive any generation before the PS4?

I’m definitely in the camp of releasing new games on a new console instead of revisiting the games over and over again regardless of whether others played it or not. If you missed out, relive it on the platform it was released on.

I didn’t complain when I couldn’t play NES games on a SNES or PS2 games on a PS3. These are simply cash grabs. Why can’t we just get a new Tomb Raider game instead?

-Foxtrot1135d ago

For a split second I thought this was like the original games, I got super excited.

Jls11135d ago

Not sure this was needed both rise and shadow were free ps plus

LOGICWINS1135d ago

Paying a monthly or yearly fee to maintain a game in your library isn’t “free”.

Jls11135d ago

Ps plus is the cost of 1 game. How many months are there in a year, do the math.

rdgneoz31135d ago

$60 or around $40 on sale / black friday and it is needed for multiplayer, and you don't have to worry about Sony trying to double the price (and whether they'd backtrack like MS after the outrage). Though you don't need it for F2P multiplayer games, unlike Gold.

hectorius1135d ago

LOGICWINS7h ago
Paying a monthly or yearly fee to maintain a game in your library isn’t “free”.***

So online gaming is free then.. Gotcha.

badz1491135d ago

come on, LOGIC. that argument has been beaten to death already and it's already 2021. nothing is FREE on consoles except F2P games, so just give it a rest.

you know what he means by that. no need to remind us each time that they are "technically" not free. we get it

Spartacus101134d ago

@ Jls1
Here is the math:
Free = £0
PS+ = £50 annually
Is £50 greater than £0? Yes
Therefore PS+ is not free.

Amplitude1135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

@Jls:
Why does the price of the game matter? or the number of months in a year? Lol

I see what you're trying to do but it doesn't make sense. The actual cost is the cost of Plus, multiplied by the number of years you're alive.
So let's say 60 more years before your mortality takes a turn for the worse. You're looking at about $4,800 to keep Tomb Raider in your library vs owning a physical copy.
Not to mention that these are remasters.

PS Plus is a sick deal but by definition you really don't *own* your games with it

Jls11135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

Obviously your too dumb to figure it out. If i have to explain it to you its not worth my time.

Ridiick1135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

Control, FFVII remake and mostly Fall Guys that is always there to play with friends, PSplus is nice for me and other several millions of gamers. Your words sound me that you are having a tantrum :), guy enjoy your platform and dont worry about others gamers

LOGICWINS1135d ago

@Ridiick Lol, whose throwing a tantrum? No one said PS Plus wasn't a good deal, but "good deal" and "free" aren't interchangable.

Amplitude1135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

Yeah I love PS+ lmao. I'm just saying it factually isn't free, the cost does add up, and PS+'s existence shouldn't mean that actually owning games becomes abnormal.

I buy lots of games that I already have on Plus just so I'll always have them
