Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition - Xbox One

I give Tomb Raider 5 stars because I liked it enough to play through it twice, and then even went back through to collect all the items I missed and complete all of the challenges. The story is fairly engrossing, more towards the end than the beginning. I found myself actually caring about what I was doing and the well being of the NPC's. The gameplay is also top notch. It is definitely one of the best action adventure games I've played. There are a few different weapons you acquire throughout the game. A bow, pistol, assault rifle, and shotgun were enough to keep me entertained. All of your weapons and equipment are also upgradeable as you progress through the game, which keeps them feeling fresh. The combat is very fluid and enjoyable and isn't hard to pick up quickly. There isn't as much puzzle solving as previous games in the franchise, which I didn't mind at all. I played both the Xbox 360 version and the Xbox One version. The last gen version looked good, the current gen version looks incredible. The environments are much more detailed, Lara herself is much more detailed, and her hair just amazed me. I've never seen hair in a video game look and behave so real and naturally. If I had one negative thing to say, it is the quick time events were sometimes a little frustrating. If you mess up or get excited and it the wrong button, Lara will die a gruesome death and you will have to try again. Some of the deaths were sort of cool, in a morbid sort of way, so that sometimes made failing a quick time event a little less painful. I would recommend this game to anyone, especially fans of the previous games, as well as fans of the Uncharted series on PlayStation 3. Tomb Raider is definitely a step in the right direction for this veteran franchise.

The graphics are great, the storyline is surprisingly deep and well-developed. A rarity as in todays game market few games are well-developed in any respect. This game portrays Laura as she was before she gained fame as an twin-gun-wielding bad ass. It starts with what is claimed to be her beginnings and from the way it ends, it appears there are likely more tomb raider games yet to come. The story starts off a little dark and you have to fight to survive, once you get up to speed, you start to get some weapons that can take down most foes. The game mechanics are very good, while some of the enemies are a bit dim-witted, most of them have decent A.I. and put up the right amount of challenge, while the story and excellent graphics keep you engaged. Just for fun, they threw in a few "tombs" which give you some rewards, but nothing exceptional, and offer some additional puzzles that must be solved. The puzzles have just the right amount of complexity, at times being challenging, but never so much so that you feel tempted to toss your controller. All things considered, this game is probably one of the top 5 next-Gen titles that I have played so far, and I have played most of them. I would recommend this title, don't pass it up because you aren't sure, give it a try and you may be surprised just as I was. Hope this review proves helpful.

I bought this game for my gamer boyfriend's birthday in hopes we could both play it. Well I have to say it's gorgeous graphically, very intense in action... and the easy setting which I was hoping to be able to play being a nongamer, is anything but easy. In fact I could only playfor a few minutes before he had to take over for me and he was hard pressed to get through some of the combat. That's my only real criticism of the game is that it would be nice to have the easy level actually be accessible to inexperienced players like me, however I did enjoy watching the story and was actually able to follow it pretty well (which is also rare since I can't usually make heads or tails of video game stories or what's supposed to be done.) Anyway I definitely recommend it if you want a challenging game with good story and graphics, and what appears to be lots of side adventures.

This rating automatically gets 5 stars because the game is simply amazing. Amazing story, amazing environment, amazing cutscenes. The game shows how Lara gets beaten, broken down, and is rebuilt as a survival machine. I can't wait for the next part in this franchise. The Definitive Edition is really definitive. You can see that the graphics are way better than the Xbox 360 version. Lara looks gorgeous, and the environment is realistic. One thing I did notice is that they focused too much on her hair. You can see almost every strand of hair, but why is her hair so shiny? Her hair stays glossy and perfect, even in rough situations. Her body can be scratched up and covered in blood, but her hair looks like she just came out the salon and tied her hair up. Is it worth $60? If you played the game before, no. If you haven't, yes. I got it when it was on sale for $40. No way was I paying another $60 for a game I played less than a year ago. It's messed up how the publishers put another $60 price tag on a game that was already finished. All they needed to do was upgrade the graphics. $40 should've been the max price.

I wasn't sure if this game would be my type of game because I haven't been a huge fan of tomb raider in the past. But I got it from Amazon on one of their deals and thought I would give it a shot. I started playing the game today and I have already played about 5 or 6 hours! It is a lot of fun and pretty addicting! I agree with another reviewer about it's similarities with the Uncharted series on PS3. It has a great story telling element and the game is fluid and the camera angles are usually really good for game play which can be a challenge with 3rd person/platform games. Graphics on the xbone look good and controls are great. Pretty happy with it overall. Not sure about replay value and I haven't tried the multi-player yet, so I can't speak to those things yet. Will update later with that info. If you like Uncharted....you will enjoy this game.

Muy chulo

Amazing game,definitive buy. Beautiful graphics and scenery, engaging game play with an interesting story. Fast paced & keeps interest throughout by missions in varied environments

O primeiro jogo do reboot da franquia é absurdo. Tem legendas em português, ação, história e final incríveis e de todos os jogos até hoje em 2025 é o que tem os melhores sons dos tiros.

Excellent graphics

Good
