Jeff from Holygrenade writes: "Rebooting a heralded character is incredibly tricky. To do it well takes a balance of modern game design and mechanics and enough of what made those games good before. Through a lengthy campaign, a swath of collectibles, likeable characters, a compelling story and a beautiful island to maneuver, the return of Lara Croft in her first adventure is worth experiencing. Even for the newest of tomb raiders."

Ready-Up writes: 'I live in a household where the original Tomb Raider games are the benchmark that all other games are scored against. Much like I would compare any platform game to Super Mario Bros. 3 Lara and her adventures are held in such high regard by my wife that when this new Tomb Raider arrived in the post my request for her to take the review were met with cries of I cant, Im not ready and I want to savor it in my own time. So off I went. I threw myself into the reboot with vigor only stopping to ask the occasional spoiler-free question on details for the Tomb Raider universe that I have long since forgotten usually something about Laras dad.'

Tomb Raider takes from some of this generation's most loved games - the Hollywood presentation from Uncharted, the open style of the Arkham series -- and combines them to create something all its own.

Tomb Raider is an origin story that was designed to make you care, and with an outstanding performance from Camilla Luddington and the rest of the cast, it certainly appears as if Crystal Dynamics achieved what they set out to do. It is unfortunate that the game design never fully embraces the survival theme, and it remains slightly unsettling the way Lara moves so quickly from the emotional distress of her first kill into the headshot happy gameplay that the game delivers so well. It is worth acknowledging that this point is briefly addressed later in the game, which does help to improve upon the mixed translation between narrative and gameplay. However, as a whole the game still comes together exceptionally well to deliver an emotional story that is certainly worthy of the Croft legacy.
