Summary
Tomb Raider is a fantastic addition to the Croft catalog and a fine rebirth of a classic character. With a great story, sumptuous visuals and meaty combat, this is one game you can't afford to miss out on in 2013.
We like
- The fantastic visuals
- Lara Croft's characterization
- The classic Tomb Raider blend of combat, puzzles and hidden collectibles
We dislike
- Narrative sometimes loses its punch in combat-heavy situations
- Frequent combat sequences can get a little tiring
- Some minor camera issues and visual glitches
