So as you jump, climb and hang, the control of Lara is perfect and even the wall scrambles which require you to run up the wall in order to reach a climbing point all work well. I also loved her grappling gadget that allowed her to reach some very dangerous places.Ĭlimbing mechanics seem much sturdier than the previous game as you precariously explore dangerous mountains and forgotten cities looking for clues, documents and ancient treasures. Lara also has some equipment to assist with her adventure such as her glow stick and needless to say, I’ll never look at scorpions the same way again.

These actions are time limited and y help break up the gameplay and give the player some great excitement plus an adrenaline rush. The title also boasts some great quick-time events which flawlessly switch from in-game to an interactive cinema that requires you to push a button or perform an action such as jumping at the right time or attempting to use your pick axe. The gameplay of Rise of the Tomb Raider is reminiscent of the 2013 game which requires the player to control Lara in a third person perspective which features exploring, climbing, stunts, combat and a healthy dose of puzzles.

Rise of the tomb raider blood ties series#
That’s one thing I liked about the rebooted Tomb Raider series is that there are generally two parallel stories running at the same time, one set in the future with Lara and the other set in the past. So while you explore this beautifully created world, you will find documents littered through the gaming environment which helps the player piece together the story of the prophet. There are even flashbacks or memories that Lara will unlock about her father which helps flesh out the story even further. However Lara vows to find the truth and shares the same passion and dedication as him. To assist Lara in her journey, she has the research of her father, including recordings but many dubbed her father as “crazy”. I also loved the end of the title which definitely closed many of the doors of this current story but also left it open for future stories. Without spoiling the story too much, the villain in the game is Constantine who has been sent by Trinity to recover this object, however his link to Lara definitely creates a big reveal and betrayal for Lara. Unfortunately for Lara, a powerful and clandestine organisation known as the Trinity, a paramilitary group of religious zealots are also searching for the same item that our tomb raider wants which causes them to clash on many levels in this dangerous game of cat and mouse. However before we get onto the new content, let’s talk about the main game which is Rise of the Tomb Raider that takes us on another amazing and deadly adventure of gaming’s most powerful female protagonists with Lara Croft as she attempt to unlock the secrets left behind from her father that revolves around a forgotten city, a long lost prophet and an ancient artefact that holds a link to the “divine source”. Add in new multiplayer modes, outfits, weapons and expedition cards and Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration Edition is a true celebration of Lara Croft and her amazing video game history.
