In terms of encounters you can stick to the broad strokes of stealth or going in all guns blazing, but now you have the option of mixing the two as you silently take out a couple of goons, then make a group of enemies aware of your presence as you slip back into the shadows. You can once again choose how you approach combat, which skills you equip, and what you do in the expansive environments, but everything feels so much bigger and more complex compared to what we experienced three years ago. If you played the 2013 Tomb Raider, you'll feel right at home here in terms of gameplay. Despite being fairly predictable aside from a few twists, everything moves at a fast and enjoyable pace, which provided us with an entertaining plot that was gripping from beginning to end. This conflict forms the core of the narrative as the two battle it out for the prize in an Indiana Jones-esque way that rarely leaves you with breathing room. But she's not alone in this, as an organisation named Trinity follows her every move in a bid to track down the treasure before she does. Legend has it that the artifact grants the user immortality and is located somewhere in the lost city of Kitezh - and naturally Lara wants to get her hands on it.
Rise of the Tomb Raider picks up one year after the events of its predecessor and tells the tale of Lara's obsession over a discovery that her late father made: the “Divine Source". A bumper package this may be, but does it surpass the level of quality that we experienced in the series' 2013 reboot? In a year that includes Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, a franchise that is consistently compared to the adventures of Lara Croft, it faces a tough challenge. Included is the base game, bonuses that harken back to the days of the original PlayStation, all the DLC from the title's season pass, and a brand new level playable in VR. To beef up the release of a year old game, Crystal Dynamics has coined this edition the 20 year celebration of Lara Croft. The most controversial exclusivity deal since the Xbox 360 release of Final Fantasy XIII is over: Rise of the Tomb Raider has finally launched on the PlayStation 4.
