"What is my fate? Will I become one of them?"

Quintessential seventh-gen action adventure: random overblown bouts of Micheal Bay action, color palette that consists seemingly strictly of grey + brown + green, tons of slow & simple automated sequences, bullet hell, impossibly hot lady, 100% bullshit multiplayer mode shoehorned in for the kiddos who would refuse to even touch a game if you couldn't mow down your friends with bullets and/or knives and/or 'nades every half second... But fuckin' A does it do it all so damn WELL (okay except the stupid multiplayer), a total platonic ideal. So effortlessly nostalgic. I was hesitant towards this at the time, but looking back even in the face of its sequels this is fantastic stuff. Really puts this new Lara to the test right out of the gate - with a game that has mysterious narrative intrigue mixed with poignancy, personalized systems, expensive graphical prowess, and gnarly jolts of violence. In the words of Todd Howard, it all just works. Never wanted it to end - a more than ample apology for the misdeeds of Tomb Raider: Underworld.

A decent, yet baffling re-imagining of everyone's favorite video game heroine, Lara Croft. This isn't to critique Lara's appearance nor harp on the game's narratives. My main issue with this game is how dry and rigid the experience was. Before you can even raid a small amount of tombs, you'll have to dig your way through mundane systems, alongside several uninspired levels and set pieces.

I'm outright saying that my experience with Tomb Raider is mediocre. At its best, it does what triple A games does best, look pretty, but at its worst? It makes the idea of raiding tombs actually boring.

Uma obra de arte dos videogames!
Joguei ele pela primeira vez no meu Xbox 360 e esse ano, fiz questão de comprar na Steam para jogar novamente.
Vou colocar minha review da Steam aqui:
Jogo sensacional. Muito a frente da sua época , história, jogabilidade o cenário e os puzzles me encantam. Uma obra de arte na sua época e nos dias de hoje.
Fico triste em saber que os outros 2 jogos dessa franquia foram uma cópia desse primeiro, mudando poucas coisas porém ainda meio repetitivo.
Joguei o Rise Of The Tomb Raider e o Shadow Of The Tomb Raider também, porém, o de 2013 ainda é meu preferido <3

This game marks the beginning of the Tomb Raider reboot series, and let me tell you, it's one heck of a ride. From the moment I picked up this game, I fell in love with it. The environments are breathtaking, the combat is exhilarating, and the overall experience is just amazing.

That being said, while Tomb Raider is definitely a must-buy for fans of the series, it's not without its flaws. There are some rough edges here and there, and the game may feel a bit dated compared to more recent entries. However, if you're willing to overlook these minor issues, you're in for a real treat.

In conclusion, Tomb Raider is a solid entry in the franchise and a worthy addition to any gamer's collection. It may not be perfect, but its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses.

This game is such a product of its time. It falls perfectly in this category of late 7th generation AAA games, where everything is gritty and dark and the characters are in dire situations or struggle more than usual. They are very "serious" (because games are serious now), very "cinematic",  use all these camera effects, absolutely unnecessary long cutscenes and (of course) QTEs. Max Payne 3, Hitman Absolution, Bioshock Infinite, The Last of Us etc etc. And the problem is that all these games do these things reeeeeally badly and unnecessarily. Long cutscenes work only if the story is interesting and characters are not just action guys (and even then there's time and place for them), the ugly shaky-cam aesthetic peaked in Kane & Lynch 2, and QTEs are shit, oh my God, you don't need them anywhere but in Telltale or Quantic Dream games. But all that aside, the game is pretty good, a bit clunky at times and a bit over the top, but I enjoyed it. Platforming still doesn't really fit this kind of game, but it was alright.

I really like this game. It’s very different from the pre-reboot Tomb Raider games, don’t get me wrong, taking on an Uncharted-like, cinematic vibe, but it’s still incredibly good. The story’s somewhat basic, but I find it works, the open world is good and has collectables that feel worthwhile but aren’t too overwhelming, the combat’s basic in some ways but works very well, and the setting is really atmospheric and surprisingly varied, for taking place on only a single island. And I know it’s a controversial topic in some parts of the internet, but I really like this game’s version of Lara; she’s sympathetic and likeable, even if some of her arc feels a bit rushed. Overall, one I definitely recommend.
