Tomb Raider Review | GameSpot

When adventurer extraordinaire Lara Croft raided her first tomb back in 1996, she brought with her an exhilarating feeling of isolation and discovery. Over the years, Lara has continued to venture into parts unknown, taking dark turns and frequently tangling with the supernatural as the series evolved alongside the burgeoning third-person action adventure genre. The gameplay of this series reboot takes a few cues from a current titan of the genre--Nathan Drake and the Uncharted series--but don't let that familiarity put you off. This origin story is a terrific adventure that balances moments of quiet exploration with plenty of rip-roaring action to keep you enthralled from start to finish.

This is better reboot than DMC reboot.Anyway, To be honest, I never doubted this game for a second. Crystal Dynamics are brilliant devs, and It's good to seem them handle this franchise so well. I be picking this up first thing tomorrow morning, and I'm going to enjoy it to bits.

gamernova4449d ago

You already know this game is better even though it has yet to be released *sigh* I can smell the bias in you and it sort of smells like watermelon >.>

Anyway, I kind of wanted to get this game. The trailers look intense!!!

MadMax4449d ago

Better reboot, how so? Game isn't even out yet, you have yet to play it and probably never played DMC. You are going by scores! Well if that's the case then, shouldn't you be praising DMC? That game scored high with all the reviewers and was actually a fantastic game! I can't wait for the new Tomb Raider myself, but comon that was just a dumb remark man.

I_LOVE_MYSELF4449d ago

Strong score. A score that increases my confidence in the title. This title could have ended up being shocking. I hardly expect it to be the title it once was, but that is okay and understandable. Games that score around the 8 mark usually spark the best discussions in the online communities. Can't wait to give it a try.

TheCagyDies4449d ago

WHOA, just got back from Easton Mall in Ohio, didn't think the review embargo was lifted today. 87 metacritic across 27 reviews. Congrats SE and CD.

MagneticDeath4449d ago (Edited 4449d ago )

I'm sure the game is good but its kinda biased that GS and IGN got women to review the game. Probally boosted the score up a point at least.

Count4449d ago

Why would women give it a better score than men?

MagneticDeath4449d ago

Because there is almost zero games where you get to play as a women unless they are are overly sexualized. The whole women power thing of *new* Laura being powerless and then rising as a hero.

Ghoul4449d ago

actually its vice versa

letting the game be reviewed by woman takes out the extra points in the review for laras breasts !!

MagneticDeath4449d ago

She is not as scantily clad and big breasted as she was in the past.

Genuine-User4449d ago (Edited 4449d ago )

Can't wait. only one more week now. I remember playing this at the Euro gamer Expo last year. Was a lot of fun, really immersive.

Tomb Raider 12 has an almost perfect Lara Croft blueprint thanks to Netflix

Crystal Dynamics have a nearly perfect Lara Croft blueprint for Tomb Raider 12 thanks to Netflix’s Survivor and Legend characteristics.

That's not even a good template 😞 ugh this is gonna suck

Killer2020UK199d ago

What's gonna suck?

This is an opinion piece that has zero bearing on production of the hypothetical 12th installment of Tomb Raider.

Sciurus_vulgaris201d ago

The animated Netflix series is a sequel to Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Also, Netflix distributed this show, the company uses external production companies for most of its content. The show doesn’t provide a template for Crystal Dynamics [who was credited in production of the show], the Lara in the show is the one from the 2013 reboot series, and wasn’t reimagined for the show.

mastershredder200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

A perfect buleprint to be considered for awards you mean. Yeah, this will pander perfectly.

SimpleDad200d ago

If they want to lose money... sure, the blueprint is perfect.

Hayley Atwell says it would be a "dream" to play Lara Croft again

"To continue to be involved or to be involved in another way with [Lara Croft] would be an absolute dream and also a responsibility I would take seriously given how beloved and known she is…" the Marvel star tells GamesRadar+.

live-action Atwell? ... during early 2010s she would've nailed it ... but now ... dunno man

Nacho_Z200d ago

I know what you mean, but I wouldn't be opposed to seeing her play a slightly more mature version of the character. She's only 42 so still fine for all the action scenes.

Elantregaless200d ago

Get Brie Larsen to play new 'Lara Croft'

Elantregaless199d ago (Edited 199d ago )

Shh. Play along. Trust the plan.

aaronaton200d ago

The series is an abomination, and if she had anything about her, having read the script..... she should of declined.

cloganart200d ago

It sounds like you are just mad the show Lara's bosom is not as big as your triangle titty delusions.

Michiel1989200d ago

Lara is a fullblown lesbian crybaby in the anime, another character that was completely a ladies man has been made gay and is now her bff moral support, surely we only care about her tits instead of character development.

cloganart200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

@Michiel1989

All you chuds care about is sexuality and gender, it's hilarious. You've turned into the SJWs you've targeted and hated, getting triggered by anything and everything 🤣 https://i.imgur.com/dMBfwtF...

Michiel1989200d ago (Edited 200d ago )

Okay I didn't know that but what about the rest I said?....Lara was one of the strongest most badass protagonist in gaming and now she just cries half of the show. If that's a version of Lara that you want, more power to you, it's not for me.

and you care only about others caring about boobies. The only one who is talking about her tits is you my man. He said something about script and you started talking about her boobs.

The classical "you're just triggered" argument so you don't have to reply anything substantial and just say that, that's the sign of someone losing a discussion and not knowing what to say.

mastershredder200d ago

The most sickening part of all of this is not even that the IP is getting gutted not to be inclusive, it’s ONLY done so to be considered for awards and a funding for the next project. That’s it. It’s as pointless as a fortune 500 company virtue signaling during pride month. The bottom line is they will do the compliance dance and shell out anything to continue the cash flow, Just like the willing this VO actress people are fanning up to ^.

Also, who give a 7uck what the voice actress thinks or what she’s doing? This site is about games., not voice actors day dreams.
