Once this area is complete, Lara is back to the current time and off to survive in a bitter winter storm. It’s not absolutly necessary to progress in the game usually, but still adds to the feeling that players are discovering things and learning along with the level up system and collectibles from the prior entry. This is where the game teaches the core mechanics and even introduces Lara’s ability to learn languages via finding documents or murals that only increase her ability to read later discoveries. The flashback moments are not just suited to cut scenes, and a tutorial type level is introduce as Lara finds herself discovering an ancient temple in Syria. This is all following a completely beautiful and amazing opening sequence which I won’t spoil for players, but just be prepared as it immediately throws folks into a grand adventure. It gives weight to the story and her progression as a character. It’s all a very suitable set up, and one provided fairly early on in the game as a flashback. This pushes her to continue her father’s work in the hopes of proving him right and restoring some dignity to the Croft name. After she personally saw things she would have never believed possible in Tomb Raider, she is now a firm believer in these historical and strange events that most do not understand nor want to. She actively knows that her father was close to a great discovery of a lifetime for years, the name Croft even mocked by professionals, and her father called crazy by most. Adventure timeįor those that didn’t follow the release on Xbox One, Lara is now in a deadly game of treasure seeking.
Now, only a few months later, PC players are able to take Lara on the adventure of a lifetime, and see how she rises to her heritage and the Tomb Raider we know and love.
It had all the core elements that made the last entry a success but yet harkened back to some of the feelings the original games gave you. A chance to actually see Lara becoming a tomb raider in the making.
From reading our previous review, Ken obviously really enjoyed his time with it and so did I. Late last year, Xbox One owners had the chance to check out Lara Crofts latest adventure.
