WOO! Holy FUCK!!! I just beat Tomb Raider '13 and holy shit I've never felt this fucking excited about anything in YEARS!!! Part of it is probably my SSRIs finally starting to work, but fuck me, that game's good. Crystal Dynamics oughta make more of those "Tomb Raider" things.

Yammering About Tomb Raider 2013
You ever just keep bouncing off a game for some weird reason despite knowing you'll like it? That's what kept happening to me with this. I knew I would likely have fun with it, but the first 2 times I tried getting into it, I ended up putting the game down and doing something else. Admittedly one or both of those times might have been due to being nose deep in Destiny 2 at the time.
Either way, I have now finally worked my way through this game that a lot of people like. And I like it too! Despite not having actually played Uncharted, the influence is plain to see. It really is just those games, but with an interconnected map. Also the treasures feel more rewarding to get, as in Uncharted they kinda just unlock bonuses, whereas in Tomb Raider they give actual progression.
I definitely enjoyed the gameplay loop of killing, looting, and raiding to upgrade weapons. Honestly a lot of the later upgrades were completely useless to me, but I still wanted to get them to scratch that completionist itch, and the game makes it pretty easy to do so if you loot everything. Unfortunately there were points where I kinda went "There's no new upgrades right now, why bother looting", which made the later upgrades harder to get. I don't think I even fully upgraded everything, in the end.
As for the story? It's fine. Didn't leave too much of an impact on me, honestly, save for my empathic nature being triggered by the game's obsession with very visceral deaths. Really leaned into the Indiana Jones of it all with the body count on both ends of the conflict.
I will say, the progression of Lara's character was neat to see. Obviously no one starts out a badass, you gotta work your way there, or... Ya know, somehow survive through a situation where the odds are extremely stacked against you. She starts getting slightly more cocky near the end, but not OG Lara levels of cocky. At least, I assume- Never played those.
Still, the game ends with the caption "A Survivor Is Born", which... Yeah, she's not there yet. Still needs to process the shit she just went through, but she's definitely hardened enough to want to continue on this path. Hence why it didn't say "A Tomb Raider Is Born". Sequel's called "Rise of the Tomb Raider", though. Pretty sure there's a good reason for that. I'll get around to playing it eventually, hopefully without bouncing off it a bunch first, this time.

Ask meme!
I was tagged by @simplegenius042! Thanks :D
Rules: Shuffle your tunes and list the first 10 songs, then tag 10 people.
I’m not sure I have 10 people to tag :’) But if you want to play too, consider yourself tagged!
Here’s what I got:
“A Survivor Is Born” (Jason Graves - Tomb Raider (Original Soundtrack))
“They Can Never Smoke Us Out” (Dan Romer - Far Cry 5 (Original Game Soundtrack))
“Do What U Want (feat. Christina Aguilera)” (Lady Gaga - single)
“Midna’s Sacrifice” (Toru Minegishi, Asuka Ota, Koji Kondo - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)*
“Out The Airlock” (Garry Schyman - Sounds From The Lighthouse: Official BioShock 2 Score)

“Ravus’s Last Moments” (Yoko Shimomura, Yoshitaka Suzuki - Final Fantasy XV Original Soundtrack Volume 2)
*I chose this title (actually, it’s “Le Sacrifice de Midona” but I translated it); it’s not the real one because the soundtrack was never officially released
**French version of “Be Our Guest” (Beauty and the Beast)

A Survivor Was Born 10 Years Ago!
From being stranded on a mysterious island off the coast of Japan to unraveling all of its secrets and dark past, Lara sure wasn’t prepared for this unforgettable adventure.
Happy anniversary to Tomb Raider (2013) and congratulations for this big milestone to the development teams at Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montréal, the entire cast of actors, Square Enix, and other people involved in making the game.

Há 10 anos atrás nascia uma sobrevivente!
Desde naufragar numa ilha misteriosa na costa do Japão a descobrir todos os seus segredos e passado sombrio, certamente que a Lara não estava preparada para esta inesquecível aventura.
Feliz aniversário a Tomb Raider (2013) e os nossos parabéns às equipas de desenvolvimento da Crystal Dynamics e da Eidos Montréal, ao elenco de atores, à Square Enix, e aos restantes envolvidos na realização deste jogo.

Lara croft rise of the tomb raider series#
Now, it finally feels like they’ve gotten into their groove. Crystal Dynamics has been working on the franchise since 2006, and the team has overseen some serious ups and downs for the character. In early November, developer Crystal Dynamics will release a sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider, exclusively for the Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Lara croft rise of the tomb raider series#
It’s one of the biggest and most recognizable video game brands-and its star, Lara Croft, is even bigger (thanks in large part to Angelina Jolie’s portrayal in said not-so-stellar films.) In that time, the series has changed significantly, and in the past decade has undergone two reboots, most recently with the critically acclaimed Tomb Raider (2013), which has sold more than 8.5 million copies. Remnant Resistance is a mode where players can create missions and share them with fellow raiders.Įndurance (DLC, part of the Season pass) is a survival mode in which Lara has to collect artefacts while surviving in the wild where she has to find hunger and the cold, as well as all kinds of threats.In its nearly twenty years, the Tomb Raider franchise has seen ten games, a handful of spinoffs, a pair of less-than-stellar films, comic books, and even theme park rides. Score Attack has you rushing through the levels, collecting "Wisps", shooting "Lanterns", killing "Enemies", collecting "Items" all while maintaining a "Combo Meter" and avoiding "Damage" in as short a time as possible.Ĭhapter Replay or Chapter Replay Elite (with your upgraded skills and equipment) has you replaying the Chapters of the game (customized with cards and with certain challenges set up. Under Expeditions you can find all additional game modes. Further Lara will be able to use a knife to perform stealth kills and use a variety of custom made throwables to kill or distract her opponents.
Lara croft rise of the tomb raider upgrade#
While the four weapon types bow, handgun, rifle and shotgun, as well as the very helpful climbing axe are back, they have improved by adding new features, like the poison and explosive arrows and new abilities to upgrade these according to your play style. Rise of the Tomb Raider expands upon the features introduced in Tomb Raider (2013): "A Survivor is Born". In the past Lara had thought her father crazy to follow upon such legends, but now she sees things differently and sets off to Syria to discover the truth behind the legend. There she stumbles upon the legend of a prophet who had discovered the secret to immortality. Inspired by her recent experience on the island of Yamatai, Lara digs into her father's research.

Tomb Raider 25th Anniversary - A Survivor is Born
Lara went through the ringer in Tomb Raider 2013! Luckily for her, she's a scrappy young woman who has the smarts and strength to survive!
Tomb Raider 2013 took Lara Croft and the franchise in a new direction, focusing on Lara's survival against the wild and harsh elements. I personally enjoy the more gritty take on the series, as well as Lara's ability to analyse artefacts to find new information!
