I’m sure you’ve noticed it by now - PCs are just better. At everything. And especially games. So like any other proud member of the PC Master Race, when I
Multiplayer is replaced in Rise of the Tomb Raider with the brand new Expedition mode. You’re able to replay a number of action-packed sequences and tombs in either a score-attack mode or using a higher difficulty. You are able to challenge your friends scores which is based on how many times you died, amount of stealthy kills, headshot etc as well as time to complete the section. To add even more depth to this mode, the developers have introduced cards, which can be unlocked using credits or through completing sections of the games. Cards can either add or deduct to your final score depending...
Rise of The Tomb Raider is a beautiful and well-made game. With a gripping story, great acting and brilliant world design, there's plenty to do and you will want more.
Rise of the Tomb Raider has likable characters who have real struggles amid the mystical wonders they’re chasing down.

It has a perfectly balanced selection of abilities and upgrades. It’s an expertly paced adventure from beginning to end, filled with optional objectives that add to the world and story rather than distract from ...

“Rise of the Tomb Raider is the best blockbuster game of 2015.”
The phrase ‘Optional Challenge Tomb’ says a lot about Rise of the Tomb Raider. This is what the game chooses to call its puzzle-driven chambers. Is Tomb Raider still a game principally about, err, raiding tombs when it treats its namesake activity like a side salad? One that comes with no croutons and way too much dressing.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is a game still worth playing ten years later, but it also deserved more effort in the porting process.
To sum it all up, Rise of the Tomb Raider raises the bar higher for action-adventure games. It is graphically beautiful and cleverly written to make players feel like they are watching a movie. The gameplay is tweaked and perfected but the linearity and tutorial-packed missions can make the game easier. Nitpicking aside, this might be best action-adventure game since The Last of Us.
