I've pretty much played all the Tomb Raider games across the different formats that the game has been out on but i never really liked the controls, the jumping around and the puzzles in the games and then came along Uncharted which was everything i expected in a Tomb Raider but never happened in tho games then the news i heard that the game was being rebooted and i thought that the game would come out half assed and boy was i wrong.
The graphics are simply stunning, the weather effects through out the game are amazing and probably the most stunning graphics that i have seen on the current gen consoles, as for the its stunning i have it playing through my home cinema system and when you hear the wolfs, rain and thunder you actually think its coming from outside.
The game play is near enough perfect even when you miss time jumping to another platform or miss killing someone you never feel like the controls are letting you down. The AI is pretty much perfect you never feel the bad guys are too perfect or dumbed down, i like the way you can distract them while taking out other bad guys around in the same area. Then there's upgrading of your weapons and skill points, as for the story its brilliant and am really enjoying it so far. I've been spending most of time exploring every where and collecting stuff, you be mad not to have this game in your collection. .

Are you a mind reader, this is pretty much how I would've rated the game
A quality revamp of an old classic. I recently purchased some Turtle Beach X42s & the sounds the game produced took it to a new level.

Great minds think alike, its a great game i spent more time exploring every each of the area then doing the actually game and finding all those extra items. I've ended up getting a 100% in finding everything so far, my biggest disappointment will be finishing the game but in the next couple months i would love playing it again. I love how you get xp points and you can use them to buy new skills for Lara or you find scrap which can be used to buy upgrades for your weapons of course you gotta find the weapon parts for each weapon and you get given new weapons and upgrades too. If they make another which they will i would have no problem if they kept the same graphics and controls as there perfect, its probably a safe bet that the next one will be on PS4 and Xbox 1. All though i've been hearing great things about the new bioshock game which i haven't played yet Tomb Raider is up there as one of my games of year well thats until GTA V comes out. Any one that doesn't have this game already is crazy not to have it in there collection as its pretty cheap now. .

Got Rise of The Tomb Raider for PS4 not only is this version a art book package but it's the 20 year celebration of this franchise. The pages of art look beautiful, the game comes with all the dlc you had to buy for the Xbox One version. Can't wait to play this game.

I was very late to PS4 gaming, due to a severe lack of funds, but, in Sept 2016, I'd finally set aside enough hard-earned pennies for a PS4 and this was the first ever game I purchased. I absolutely loved it.

I was going through a very stressful period in my life at the time and it provided me with many happy hours of escapism.

Very much looking forward to the Tomb Raider movie now.
