![]() Rise of the Tomb Raider manages to do this excellently. While I don’t consider graphics to be the best part of a video game, there’s no denying that they’re an important factor in immersing the player into a world. The lighting, textures, and character models have all seen drastic improvements. While it’s almost always a given that a sequel on stronger hardware is going to look better, I was still floored by just how great the game looks. However, it’s within the first few minutes of the Syria map that Rise displays just how much of an advancement it is from its predecessor.įor starters, the game is gorgeous. Lara’s new adventure sends her to two different location this time around, but the first one, Syria, is a much smaller map that primarily serves as a tutorial. However, when her late father’s work points towards another supernatural force, Lara must face her fears and inner turmoils and stop an evil organization from taking over the world. ![]() Whether it’s the weight of taking life, the torment of seeing her friends die, or the seemingly impossible supernatural forces encountered, her experiences have left her shaken. She’s been going to therapy for help with the emotional and psychological damage endured from her previous adventure. This time around, we’re introduced to a Lara that’s suffering from the events of the last game. From death defying leaps of faith, to the need to take life in order to survive, we saw Lara take the first steps that would eventually lead to her becoming the badass we all know and love. Last time, we saw our heroine, Lara Croft, plunged into a dangerous world that forced her to adapt or die. This sequel takes place shortly after the events of the previous game. Not only does Rise of the Tomb Raider outshine its predecessor, it’s one of the best games released this generation. ![]() Thankfully, the wait myself and millions of others went through has turned out to be worth it. Released as part of the “20 Year Celebration” of the Tomb Raider franchise, Rise of the Tomb Raider on PlayStation 4 includes the base game as well as all of the DLC. Now, almost a year later, the wounds have started to heal and PlayStation users are finally being given the opportunity to play through Lara Croft’s latest adventure. Not only can Tomb Raider’s legacy be traced all the way back to the original PlayStation in 1996, but the 2013 reboot even sold better on PlayStation platforms. For both myself and all the other PlayStation owners, there was a bitter feeling towards Crystal Dynamics and their decision to not release Rise of the Tomb Raider on our platform of choice. As both a huge fan of the Tomb Raider reboot in 2013 and someone who only owns a PlayStation 4, I was sorely disappointed when the sequel released exclusively on Xbox platforms late last year. ![]()
