Tomb Raider Review - ThisisXbox

ThisisXbox writes: One of the key foundations for a video-game to make you enthralled by its excellence is to captivate you as a player. Tomb Raider not only captivates you by its riveting story and plot lines, but it emotionally charges you to have a need to succeed with Lara’s great overall plan. It’s not often that a game can come along and really make you feel involved in the outcome – and Tomb Raider goes all out to make sure you have the greatest experience following Lara Croft on her journey of survival.

It's not a 10.

More an 8, but a good game.

If you gave GTA4 a ten, then you obviously would give anything a ten.

Megaton4218d ago

It's a 9 for me. Great game with a bit of missed potential.

SP3333D-O4218d ago

It's definitely quality work.

greenpowerz4218d ago (Edited 4218d ago )

Satisficing gameplay. Kill animations and finishing moves are brutal. Dying is brutal. Laura's skill combos get real interesting and brutal. This is a dark adult game not for the kiddies. Mature artstyle and the level of graphical fidelity and physics makes it hard to watch Laura and the enemies die sometimes.

I just stop and stare at the environments. The Lighting, textures and detail are really unmatched on consoles and even some PC games. I've never seen a lighting engine work so well with such detailed foliage.

Frackin foliage is fine and proportional with no huge blocky smear jobs up close. High rez textures makes you stop and stare at the environmnets. I mean I can see the hair on MOSS!!!!! HDR Lighting and color palette just boosts the artwork and textures. Unmatched weather effects. Unmatched action scenes and destruction realism. Enviornmental phyiscs are unmatched.

Don't know how they did it. Proportional foliage looks better and sharper as you get closer to it(like in real life) vs the way all other games are which they look worse up close.

Story blends well with the game never really taking you away. It's not intrusive at all. Perfect blend of cinematic design and gameplay done the right way. No difference between cutscene and gameplay.

Non gamer friends and family at the edge of their seats watching people play this at my house. The waterslide spike death had folks mouths open LMAO

EPIC action scens when buildings and mountains etc are being destroyed

gamernova4218d ago

It is a great game; not a perfect score game though. It is a 9.5. I definitely expect great things from these people now though. They have earned my money.

WhatchaTalkinBout4218d ago (Edited 4218d ago )

i dunno about a 10 its a good game but the MP is poo pure poo :(....

Fil1014218d ago

Each to there own but I actually enjoy the multiplayer, the only bad thing I will say is "5 maps" it's abit lame, i'd expect that from maybe a store or market place game also only 4 game modes. Now although it would have been nice to see abit more content to the online side i'll let it off because you can clearly see the devs have put a massive amount of time and effort into the single player 9/10 for me

Im going to miss the new lara croft design, i hope they don't change that much from the last game.

RavenWolfx34d ago

I liked her reboot look as well.

OtterX34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Plot Twist, this is what happened to Nathan Drake after Uncharted 4.

I kid, I kid. :)

CrimsonWing6934d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Man… her face gives me the heeby jeebies. I hope she looks better in game.

This is not the Crystal Dynamics you once loved - this is a sold publisher that houses maybe 10% of it original cast of employees - this game will BOMB !!!! F Embracer Group - they suck BALLS ! Basketballs

LG_Fox_Brazil53d ago

Dude, calm down, let us wait and see the announcement and official images first

anast53d ago

The game is going to suck, though.

ROCKY2853d ago

Embracer Group is an EVIL company that absorbed many companies with investor money
knowing damn well they were going to put amazing hard working people on the street
their plan was weak and they screwed up and lost BIG TIME $$$$
They can go Fuk themselves !

jznrpg53d ago

Of course most of the the original Crystal Dynamics team is gone they took over Tomb Raider over 20 years ago. That’s not abnormal. That doesn’t mean the newer devs will automatically fail.

KyRo53d ago

Open world is already part one of setting it up to fail. I can sense the fetch quests, camp clearing, kill quests with hundreds of collectables sprinkled in already, just like every open world of the last 10 years. Lazy game design awaits.

YourMommySpoils53d ago

But do they suck basketballs or actual balls? I really need to know.

smashman9853d ago

This is true of literally any IP as old as Tomb Raider.

ChronoJoe53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Definitely not true. Crystal have kept the majority of their team, know a lot of folks that work there.

Don't disagree with you about the general sentiment towards Embracer though.

Isn't this the "Truth Seeker" one

jznrpg53d ago

I am interested for sure. Embracer as a parent company has made a massive amount of mistakes and crappy moves but that doesn’t mean this dev team can not make a good game. If the game is good and has a physical copy I’ll buy it. Tomb Raider rpg in theory could be great.

RaidenBlack53d ago

the 'rpg' referred here is the table-top borad game called the Crypt of Chanos

ROCKY2853d ago (Edited 53d ago )

Embracer SUX ASS !!!!
Yes I said it - they are an EU company where they received investment to suck up companies and kill them off or break them down and has put 1000's of workers out of work - as we say in the USA - F them - losers

Rebel_Scum53d ago

A wise man once said “I seen a lot of people hate me and I didn't know what to feel about that so I guess I didn't like you much neither. During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, the way you felt about me, and in the way I felt about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than 20 million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!”

RaidenBlack53d ago

I don't like the 'open-worlding' every franchise idea ... Tomb Raider needs to be semi-linear-ish ... or do segmented open spaces

KyRo53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

This. They all follow the same basic structure and it's boring. Open world games have all become to similar to one another.

Christopher53d ago

I'm kind of hoping they're saying open world but they mean the more 'hub' design they've had with recent games. I liked the hub concept. I'm not a fan of just open world a la Ubisoft, though. Ubisoft goes so hard on open world that I feel we really don't need any more.

Noskypeno53d ago

I would like them to do a Halo ODST style, with the open hub area containing extra tombs and Easter eggs and collectibles and finding certain items will bring you to the linear mission.

Profchaos53d ago (Edited 53d ago )

For me I'd like to see more of a emphasis on puzzles return the last trilogy felt a bit like a modern action game

-Foxtrot53d ago

The Unified timeline bullshit still sounds awful going off the rumours

You can't make Survivor Lara and Classic Lara the same, they have totally different histories and origin stories.

They actually want to say that Survivor Lara turns into Classic which would then erase Classic Lara's origin story with the plane crash in the Himalayas.

Also an open world game...sigh

I had hoped the love for the Remaster games would have pushed them to continue that timeline or do a new reimagined timeline where you play as Classic Lara surviving in the Himalayas for those 2 weeks before she found a small village for help.
