Rise of the Tomb Raider™

Honestly didn’t think I’d get this hooked. Compared to the 2013 reboot, this one feels like it found its rhythm—less “survival horror,” more “Indiana Jones with a bow and a backpack.” Exploration is super rewarding. The tombs? Finally feel like actual tombs—clever puzzles, atmospheric design, and just the right amount of challenge. Combat’s fun, stealth is viable, and the gear upgrades make sense without feeling too grindy (unless you’re going for 100%). Story’s decent—not mind-blowing, but enough to keep me invested in Lara’s journey. Visually, it still looks amazing, even years after release. If you're into adventure games with a mix of puzzles, action, and exploration, this is a solid pick. Better than I expected—and one of the stronger entries in the series.

Fantastic adventure game with fun puzzles and thrilling combat. Everything feels very cinematic and the gameplay is polished. Crazy to think that the game is already 9 years old.

I think that the fact that I have 320 hours in a linear game speaks for itself. I absolutely adore this game. It is by far my favorite of the trilogy. It expands nicely on the story and the mechanics of the first one without tripping on itself like the second one does. Very good game, either on it's own or as a sequel to Tomb Raider (2013).

while my initial impression was that this had a lot more to offer than the first game in the reboot trilogy, it quickly stagnated. It has a fantastic start with introducing walking and climbing that takes forever, but after the exposition and initial introduction to the area, just the fact the area isn't a concrete jungle for a tomb raiding game is already a massive step up and the initial introductory tomb is fantastic by mainly actually being a fucking tomb. It blends really clever puzzles, introduces a healthy amount of combat and has a fantastic hook with the enemy organization bombing their way in and fleeing on a helicopter with the artifact while lara rule of cools her way to beating the shit out of everyone while they barely manage to get away. From here it's just one log pitfall, they shove you in ice land ice area of icetonia kingdom of ice, lara gets shoved in ice water and needs to fight a bear and needs to basically almost die over and over like the first game before it's cover shooting section after cover shooting section with the same rope mechanics for platforming as the previous game. If there are any good puzzles later I never got to them just because all of this really just sucked when it feels worse than the first game especially since they double down on a crafting system with special collectibles in the "pseudo open world" it's like if they made assassins creed origins linear while requiring you to engage with menus every 5 seconds to keep up sword maintenance and stuff. It's intolerable and when the story isn't just lara trying to save her friends on an expedition gone wrong while fighting a mysterious group and third party while solving a mystery of an ancient artifact. Instead the story focuses on the minor aspect of lara really loves her dad who never gave her attention and forcing her to uncover an artifact she personally doesn't care about because he spent his whole life on it and instead pretty much an entire countries military is trying to stop her as she gets the shit beat out of her. Don't worry you'll constantly get informed about minor details of the location and people who won't really matter at all since the main goal of the artifact doesn't really have anything to do with the enemy group or people there and puts you straight to sleep. Just ultimately a slog and I was just done with it after spending an hour trying to figure out which ropes go where so I can climb the platforms in the right order.

I liked this game at the beginning and through most of the middle, but then the end just kept dragging on forever. I have four issues which have led me to hate this game in the end: 1. poor storytelling: too many instants of predictability and shallow plot development 2. poor game mechanics development: you gain some skills by obtaining certain equipment through the storyline. skills developed by obtaining these story-based equipment items feel very overpowered when you gain them because of having to play large portions of the early game without them. 3. repetition: puzzles and traversing the map in the late-game requires repeating the same actions over and over again. Need to blow something up? we're going to make you do it three times from three different locations! Need to get from point A to point B? We're going to make you circle back and climb up/over/under/around every dilapidated building our developers created just to make sure you get the full city tour! 4. lack of freedom to critically think: there are just too many puzzles/fights in this game where you have to do things exactly as the developers want you to or you can't progress. it doesn't matter if your way of solving the issue matches with established game mechanics or is more efficient. If you don't do it their way, there is no forward for you. Overall, I find this game well-polished when it comes to the overall build. I've never found any glitches or seen any jarring examples of meshing/map issues/enemy issues. However, the four things I've pointed out above take away from the fun of the game. It almost feels more like work to play it. Not bad work or boring work, but there's too much control over how and what you have to do as a player for it too feel like anything but work.

Fantastic Game, highly recommended, great modding community on PC, and great graphics too.

great game, great story, and great plot

Graphics def still look great in 2025, story line is incredible. World building is everything you could ask for!

Playing it for first time and belive when I say best game for exploration with superb graphics

A good action game with a female hero. But it´s NOT a Tombraider game. I would only recommend it to players that don´t know about the Tombraider games and want a nice casual actionbased game with small puzzle elements. - To little puzzle and problem solving, no Tombraider feel. Watered out to nothing - Very actionbased around shooting enemies - Collecting stuff to unlock achievements - Lara can NOT crouch for some reason which is super goofy, she can only quickly halfroll from standing position to a new standing position 1meter away. She also autocrouches when go inside of a bush. - Laras breasts has been removed for the Woke movement probably. Why not just cut off her ponytail aswell then while you are at it. I think that Lara packed the punch that you could be a cool woman with boobs that where not just a bimbo and that could stand for herself. That is also a part why it also doesnt feel like a Tombraider game - Limited parkour, The devs have tried to create a feeling of an open world but you can only jump up on trees if they have white bark on them, or if there are red ladders or other stuff with red. It feels like a game for an audience with visual impairments. It just gives you a feeling that the developers think they have only "specially gifted players" + Good graphics + Voice overs are quite nice

Can't say I haven't enjoyed myself a bit playing but holy shit what a mediocre package this is. It's held together by duct tape with all the glitches still poking through 9 years after release. This story is so bare bones even when every aspect is over explained, the characters are one dimensional as shit. It treats you like your a 7 year old barely able to put two and two together in puzzles and story beats. Cant believe how shit a $100m budget game can be while maintaining a very positive rating on steam.

This is a story game first and foremost. On the highest difficulty most people will breeze through the game, combat section are short and easy to clear, either because they can be done completely in stealth or because, in moments were the devs force you to go into a loud engagement, the enemy AI is quite stupid. Puzzles are easy, there is too much parkour (which isn't very fun), the story is intriguing at the beginning but starts to meander in the middle right up until the end. I recommend it if it is on sale.

Damn...I may regret writing this so fresh after completion of my first play-through, but honesty is the best policy. First off, do I recommend this game? Yes. Absolutely, yes. Spend your hard-earned money on this is you're thirsty for a action-adventure game with a beautiful art-style, compelling story and protagonist, and satisfying, crunchy game-play. It's all here, it'll quench that thirst. Do you have to play the first game to enjoy this? No. Should you play the first game before diving into this one? Yes, it makes the game(s) better and there are more than a handful of references, characters and situations that allude to this game's predecessor; and, more over, it (Tomb Raider, the previous game) IS the better game. I'm just so...not conflicted. Just...mad. lol. Game-play wise, it improved, and like I said the story is beyond good, it's actually pretty fire. Graphics are prettier, runs very well on my 1060 6gb. But damn, that fu**ing ending. Or, more precisely, parts of the ending and the stupid, utterly retarded final "boss" fight. GOD, WHAT A LET-DOWN. To make a long story short and spoiler-free, the Devs wanted you to engage with and defeat the final boss in a very specific way; THEIR WAY, and just s**t all over ALL of the unique, cool and customizable build options they offer you up until that very point. So dumb, so disappointing and so....infuriatingly arrogant of them. That's it. I'll end it there before I take things too far, and let the goof-troop final boss encounter overshadow an otherwise great, breathing piece of digital art. Yes, buy this game, buy all 3, they're modern classics. Just not infallible. LARA CROFT FOREVER!

I thoroughly enjoyed playing Tomb Raider 2013., but this one is something I couldn't believe, In my opinion, this is a fantastic game that I ever played, it has a good story, good graphics, and the gameplay is exceptional quality, but there are some things this game has problems with. The optimization of this game is very weak and it feels less compelling, and even with the latest Nvidia GPU it cannot get 200-300 fps unless the game is on a very low setting or applying a setting recommended by the Geforce Driver. While there are some areas for improvement, this game remains impressive overall.

Pretty much the same game as the first one, but with improved graphics. The story isn’t as strong as the original, but it’s still an enjoyable experience.

after playing this game I only say one thing it's a one of my favourite tomb raider game and one more thing to add if you don't mind whit graphics please play old tomb raider game they are one of the best games.

Read in the preferred racist tone of your choice: "So the game is good. It's good. Good. Great actually. You want a beer?"

First time playing this as I have completed other Tomb Raider titles for the PS4. The game is old but very detailed and fun, it's not as big of an RPG but more campaign based. However I will definitely recommend this game even though it's been released for over a decade, still engaging and outperforms some games that are released in 2025.

After playing The Last of Us Part II, I was looking for more action adventure. This is the first Laura Croft game I played and I'm glad I did. Gave a similar feel and vibe as Uncharted but with more customization. The tomb puzzles were fun and challenging but not unfair. I played on the hardest setting and was able to complete 71% of the game in just under 39 hours so I could put in another 10-20 hours to get closer to 100% but I got a lot of enjoyment out of it. The weapons, skills, and customization made the game extra fun for me, an area that Uncharted lacked. There were really only 1-3 parts that I had to do many times over but the challenge for me was just right. The hardest part of the highest difficulty is I would have to start all the way over from my last save point if I didn't complete the entire objective so I put myself through some additional voluntary torment but I asked for it and I am proud I completed the game. The only downsides/criticism I can really say is I didn't find the story particularly compelling. The characters and narrative felt basic, boring, and predictable. I wasn't drawn to the discoveries at all, didn't care about the crown or jewels etc. that were in the chests, I just cared about leveling up and getting more skill points. No crazy twists or anything which left the story itself pretty underwhelming and the character dialogue was also just basic and mundane but every other area of the game I would say flourished and it was a lot of fun. Square Enix is elite, never disappoints and always puts out stellar games. Based on this positive experience I'm looking forward to playing more games in the franchise.

I got it on a sale,but thats just a 9\10 game.The story isnt a masterpiece but its pretty good with lots of plot twists.I would pay full price if i knew how good it is,but i got lucky enough to get it on a sale lol

easy 10/10 cinematics, graphics (this is a 2015 game btw), lore, gameplay, everything... is amazing.

this is my favourite one of the trilogy. it has the best locations, the best lara model, the best gameplay just finished it again after playing for the first time on xbox in 2018, still amazing.

Pretty good, love the parkour stuff, adventure n all.

Absolutely solid game. Rise of the Tomb Raider blends action, stealth, puzzle-solving, and storytelling in a really satisfying way. But what stood out most for me was the exploration — I was completely immersed in searching through caves, tombs, and ancient ruins. Every area is packed with secrets, collectibles, and hidden lore that made wandering off the main path genuinely rewarding. The visuals are stunning, the gameplay is smooth, and the world feels alive and rich with mystery. Whether you're sneaking through enemy camps, crafting gear, or diving into a forgotten crypt, the game keeps things engaging without feeling overwhelming. If you enjoy games that reward curiosity and make you feel like a true adventurer, this one’s for you.

Bought this on the summer sale so its very good value. Honestly, the gameplay is quite good and the mechanics done very well. My issue is that it just starts feeling repetitive after a while. Graphics are actually quite good considering this was released in 2016. I'd recommend it.

Solid game, not as good as the one that came before it but it's still a lot of fun. Snow is fun

This might be the best entry of the trilogy. Fantastic game, and runs great on modern systems (including Linux!). A side note regarding the Endurance mode co-op - the latest update broke multiplayer matchmaking. If you want to play with friends, you'll need to opt into the 811.3 beta (found by accessing the Betas section in the game's Properties in Steam). From what I can tell, this fix doesn't affect any content, and the experience is great overall.

Good visuals and platforming. Enjoyable story.

Like many sequels, the gameplay is superior but the story and setting is somewhat less interesting. Overall a great game, especially for collectors and completionists because there is a lot to do and a huge number of achievements to collect.

sometimes its good game but not perfect even though i play safe, i still hate that she still fall to the ground because her hand not reach the ledge for 1 cm the worst part, Cant believe i just got scammed by buying tactical shotgun i want to give 2/5 stars because i raged but that my opinion

Just an overall solid experience, especially compared to the half-baked games that come out today.

A visually stunning story-driven adventure action RPG whose strength lies in its movie-like visual presentation.

So I'm out here in the frozen wild wearing like... three layers max, climbing cliffs, dodging ancient booby traps, and casually fistfighting wildlife. Basically an extreme sports librarian with trauma. The game looks amazing, the action’s fun, and there are puzzles that make you feel smart until you realize you’ve just been spinning a crank the wrong way for 10 minutes. Also, crafting? Yeah, you’ll be making arrows out of twigs like a wilderness MacGyver. 10/10 would get mauled by a bear again.

it was surprising confusing sometimes, felt stupid others overall tho good game 7/10

Good game. Medium quality of story and gameplay.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is a good game that builds on the 2013 reboot with better graphics, bigger environments, and more to do. It doesn't completely reinvent the formula, but it improves enough to offer a fun and satisfying experience.

on my third playthrough i noticed some huge glaring errors. laura is climbing challanged. ok if its a yellow wall but what if its a box. what if its two boxes? even the shooting is worse than the first game. I was really looking forward to having an enemy that wasnt some poor souls lost and brainwashed on an island. It was just such a slopfest. The tombs in this are excellent. Only play it for the tombs. this was a lazy chopfest. poorly designed levels. they even took out some lights. this game is just a waste of what should have been the best game in the series. there is so much here. but its shiny shit you can barely see in the snow. Great tombs.

My favorite in the Trilogy but it is still a very janky game. I wish some of the ability from the first game carried over but overall I think the new additions are a big upgrade. Game goes on sale frequently. This game makes me feel old now I remember pre-ordering it.

Gameplay is improved from the previous title. Puzzles can be challenging without being tedious. I like the Byzantine theme too

i really love this game — not just Laura, but the other characters too. The environments look stunning, every area is designed beautifully, and the soundtrack is absolutely perfect. It all comes together to create an amazing experience. What really stands out to me is how the game handles its characters, especially Laura. She’s beautiful, cool, and strong — and the game doesn’t need to shove it in your face with “w*ke” messaging or constant reminders about empowerment. She shows her strength through what she does, not through preachy dialogue. Too many games these days feel like they’re trying to make a statement instead of just telling a good story. This game respects the player’s intelligence and lets the characters speak for themselves. That’s what makes it feel real, and honestly, that’s what makes it great

Amazing game. It actually got MY attention and kept it. As someone with severe ADHD and 3 other jobs. So thank you for the opportunity to chill, relax, and enjoy this beautiful thing.

Amazing Graphics and pretty epic story. Was a TON of fun to play and I recommend this to anyone who likes games like The Last Of Us & Resident Evil!! DEFINITELY one of my favorite games, top 3! This game is for everyone and I can promise that you'll have a lot of fun :)

Must play , good game play, W antagonist, explore lala's background, captivate story That's all 8.5/10

this games visuals and gameplay is just amazing, the game is very well developed and the story is interesting and keeps the player hooked. some of the puzzles are hard, but besides that the game is great and worth playing.

I love this game! Stealth, combat, strategy, tank, everything!

After playing the first game a few months ago, I bought this sequel based on a friend’s recommendation—he said this one was better. And honestly, a few of the flaws from the first game were improved: hunting actually has a purpose now, the optional tombs are more interesting, and they kept the action and gameplay that I really enjoy—actually improved it. The game is way more “action-packed.” The maps feel more open and tangible—if that makes sense—and, being a more recent game, it’s definitely prettier than the first. The problem starts with the story. I just couldn’t take it seriously LOL. I didn’t care about a single character, not even Lara. They’re all so one-dimensional and boring that I honestly wouldn’t mind if they all died. The acting is whatever, standard videogame stuff—you don’t go into a Square Enix game expecting Naughty Dog-level writing. A funny issue from the first game is how clumsy Lara is—I mentioned how she “spends the whole game falling, because every floor collapses, and every collapsing floor leads to another slippery one.” That’s still true in this game (they call them traps, for those of you who’ve never played a videogame), but it happens way less often now. Again, like in the first game, I just followed the main path and picked up whatever I happened to find or whatever didn’t require too much brainpower—I HATE puzzles and hunting down hidden items. I ended up with 82% completion, which makes me think I did a pretty decent job. I only used fast travel once, and that was to complete the Baba Yaga DLC—which I only realized was a DLC after I finished it, since it blended in like it was part of the main game. The game is MUCH longer—like, almost twice as long. If I finished the first one in about 10 hours, this one took me 30. I don’t regret it, but I do think it could’ve been trimmed down a bit. I get it though—the devs had to make their money’s worth, so they stretched things out a bit artificially. Overall, I’d say: if you liked the first game, you’ll probably enjoy this one too.
