Good

1. Amazing graphics. Easily some of the best I've ever seen in a video game of this type. Faces, bodies, environment, all of it is extremely well done and the atmosphere has a grittiness that you can almost feel. The graphics are so good in fact that I actually thought the screenshots were just concept art. No, that's what the gameplay actually looks like. It's really amazing. One expects for cutscenes and box art to look much better than the game play itself. What one doesn't expect is for the cutscenes and box art to be an accurate representation of what the gameplay actually looks like and that's basically what this game does.

2. The cutscenes are blended seamlessly into the action. So you don't find yourself cutting away to see a scene and then cutting back to game play, you do your thing, the scene blends in smoothly and then blends back go gameplay. This is one of the first games I've ever seen do that and its a pleasant change from being jarred from the action into a mini movie all the time.

3. The save points are done generally very well so even if you mess something up, you aren't kicked back too far to try again.

4. Voice work, sound etc are all very well done.

5. The game is extremely immersive and addictive. You can get into it very quickly and once you do, its hard to put it down.

6. The story really grabs you. It has a very similar appeal as the TV series "Lost" and there are a lot of mysteries and questions and as you go forward, some mysteries get solved and other questions and mysteries pop up in their place. At times I felt as if I was almost on some parallel version of "Lost" and since I liked that show, it works for me.

7. Really nice character development. You learn a lot about the characters as you go including Lara Croft who clearly is not some superhuman sex hero as in the movies and previous games. She's just a smart, tough girl who has to suck it up and find her strength in order to survive. They do a great job of showing her inner conflicts and struggles with overcoming challenges as she progresses.

8. There are times when theres an urgency and you really have to move fast and its very exciting. There's other times when you can just take your time, look around, solve puzzles and take in the atmosphere. So its a good mix that works well.

9. The game has a good sense of humor when appropriate. It definitely has its funny moments.

10.I like how information is often revealed simply by listening to the conversations that the enemy guys are having. It makes things a lot more realistic. I also enjoyed how its not just hack and slash everything. Sometimes you need to be stealthy, sometimes you have to be a little patient and wait for the enemy to turn his back and other times you can find better ways to kill them like going to a higher vantage point.

11. Puzzles, especially for optional tombs but also other areas are challenging enough that you have to stop and really think about things, but not so ridiculously hard that you wouldn't enjoy them. It hits the perfect sweet spot of fun challenge without too much frustration.

12. You go through a varied environment. From snowy mountains to swamps, shipwrecked beaches to forests and caverns. The environment changes up a lot from area to area so you don't get bored by seeing the same thing all the time.

Bad
1. A lot of cutscenes. I have this complaint about a lot of games to be fair, but still, it seemed that I spent a lot of time watching the action rather than playing it.

2. While I love the idea of seamless cutscenes, my complaint with it is that there were times when I wasn't quite sure when the cutscene began or ended and I was suppose to take over and start playing again. That made things a little awkward at times.

So as you see, almost all good, a couple little issues but nothing major. Overall an incredible game that I enjoyed immensely and I'm usually pretty harsh and critical of games too.

I hope that when they go to do the next one, they remember all the things that made this one great and really put in the effort to continue to create a quality experience. Considering I paid around $10 for it from Amazon when it went on sale, that made it an even greater value.

As for purchasing this, definitely go for it, it's well worth it, lots of game play, I put in about 31 hours on it and that was to do almost everything. Great game!

*Played on PC*

I was never a Tomb Raider player prior to this game, so I don't have any notions of what Tomb Raider and Lara Croft "should" be to stay true to the classic games. As a newcomer to the series however, I was pleasantly surprised by this game. In a lot of ways it's a rip-off of PS3's Uncharted series (though to be fair Uncharted ripped off the old TR games first), but that's not a bad thing, and in some ways it's actually better than the UC series. This game is basically a third person action-adventure with a lot of platforming, some stealth, some exploration, and some light RPG elements such as basic skill trees and weapon mods.

The voice acting is excellent and the sound it very good overall. Graphical performance on my PC was excellent. I was able to max out most of the settings while still generally getting decent fps with my hardware (i5-2500k, ATI 7870, 8gb RAM). The much vaunted AMD "tressFX" hair physics didn't work well on my machine however, so I had to turn that off.

The mechanics are quite competent. I found the shooting to be satisfying, and the bow adds a lot to the stealth portions of the game. The platforming is very good in most places. The skill tree and weapon modification elements are a nice touch, but ultimately felt a bit meaningless as I was able to max everything out by the end of my playthrough, so there ended up not needing to be much picking or choosing between skill paths or what weapons to improve. The open world was also nice, though again it's a bit misleading since the missions themselves are very on-rails; the open world parts are not huge and are really only there to facilitate finding various treasures hidden around the map. The one mechanical thing I really disliked was the common and annoying quick time events. Why game developers continue to use this frustrating, immersion-breaking, outdated game design concept is beyond me. In a game like The Walking Dead it fits. In most other games, including this one, it's just bad, especially on PC where the QTE's are poorly optimized.

Not to spoil the story, but it is...well, from what I hear it's par for the course for a Tomb Raider game, but personally I think it veered deep into eye-roll territory a few too many times. Again, similar to Uncharted, except that Uncharted at least tries to give itself an out by usually spinning some sort of pseudo-scientific reasoning for why various events in the games happened. This game pretty much just says "because magic" and leaves it at that. It's not a bad story; I just found it harder to suspend disbelief for. A single playthrough on normal took me about 15 hours, though I took my time and gathered almost all of the collectibles. If you just played through the story and ignored the bulk of the side quests, I think this would be a 10ish hour game. That's still better than most single player experiences these days however, and replayability is moderately high. I didn't bother with the multiplayer and so can't give an opinion on that.

All in all though, this is a great game and I'm excited to hear that Square Enix has greenlit a sequel. I think I still slightly prefer the Uncharted games as a whole, but since I can't get those on PC this is a great alternative.

Le jeux est téléchargeable directement après l'achat dans Steam , il suffit juste de rentrer le code donné pour ajouter le jeux à votre bibliothèque et c'est parti !
Je suis plutôt axé sur les Fps en général mais lorsque j'ai vu le jeux en promo à 3,50€ je n'ai pas pu me retenir.
Je trouve cela formidable de faire des promos de ce type car ça attire vachement le gamer et cela permet de jouer à des types de jeux différents de notre habitude , même si le jeux est de 2013 il est vraiment top. J'ai fais seulement 20% pour le moment , l'histoire est très bien foutue , les graphismes et cinématiques très satisfaisant et le gameplay plutôt pas mal pour ce type de jeux.
Si vous êtes tenté d'essayer un autre type de jeux auquel vous avez l'habitude de jouer vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés , au pire des cas vous n'aurez perdu que très peu !

Das Spiel ist beschreibt die Anfangsgeschichte von Lara Croft.

Man muss die eigenen Fähigkeiten entwickeln und ausbauen, zudem kann man eigenes Werkzeug und Material herstellen.
Das Spiel ist, nicht zuletzt durch die Dialoge, ein lustiges Spiel, dass jedem Spaß macht. Einzige Problem ist die kurze Story, die man ohne große Anstrengung ziemlich schnell durchgespielt hat.

Zum Kaufablauf:
Den Steam-Code bekommt man nach der Bezahlung sofort zugesandt und kann sich das Spiel dann runterladen. Keine Probleme oder Komplikationen.

Viel Spaß beim spielen!
