Rise of the Tomb Raider puts more emphasis on hunting, for example, which is used to craft and upgrade items, making hunting feel closer to the way it was in Far Cry 3 & 4. While there are still plenty of enemies to fight on your journey, there's a much greater variety of stuff to do this time around, and it was nearly an hour in before I had any combat situations with other humans. This is just one example of the deviations from the very action-heavy Tomb Raider.
What ensues is an incredible 30-minute action sequence that left my palms sweaty and my heart pumping. The world is against our heroine, and the mountain has other ideas for Lara. The game starts off with an incredible sequence that has you climbing up the side of a giant snow-covered mountain with nothing but some rope and a pick-axe. It takes what worked well in Tomb Raider, builds upon it, and adds back in a lot of the puzzles and platforming that people missed from the last one. I'm here to proclaim, from the top of the Darkstation mountain, that you shouldn't let Rise of the Tomb Raider slip you by. As popular as Tomb Raider was, it felt that its follow-up was going to get lost in the holiday 2015 shuffle, overshadowed by games like Metal Gear Solid V, Halo 5, and Fallout 4. Although the game might have alienated some of the longtime fans of the series, its broader appeal opened the game up to a wider audience and made it one of my favorite games of 2013. Developed by Crystal Dynamics, it shifted the series' focus from a puzzle/adventure oriented game to action more akin to the Uncharted series. It’s the follow-up to the very successful Tomb Raider reboot from 2013.
Before I get too carried away, let’s dig into Rise of the Tomb Raider.
