It is better to be relaunched than forgotten. [March 2014]

Not played the original? Then this is essential, but there's not enough new here for returners. [Apr 2014, p.69]

I was absolutely wowed by this game the first time I played it through because I was paying so much attention to the cut scenes and redesigned Lara Croft was a joy to behold...But having had a year to sit and consider the game's broader meaning, the second time around the game's flaws are all the more apparent.

È un gioco carino e tutto sommato godibile, ma non uno di quei giochi che mi è rimasto davvero impresso. L’esperienza è piacevole e ci sono momenti divertenti, però dopo un po’ ho iniziato a stancarmi mentre lo giocavo. Uno dei motivi è che dopo diverse ore alcune situazioni e combattimenti mi sono sembrati un po’ ripetitivi, con nemici e dinamiche che tendevano a ripetersi. Questo alla lunga mi ha fatto perdere un po’ di interesse e in alcuni momenti è risultato un po’ pesante da continuare. Anche la grafica non mi ha colpito particolarmente. Per l’anno in cui è uscito poteva andare bene, ma avendolo giocato nel 2025, dopo aver visto giochi molto più avanzati visivamente, si sente abbastanza il peso degli anni. Nel complesso resta comunque un gioco discreto: carino, a tratti divertente e giocabile, ma non uno di quei titoli che mi hanno colpito così tanto da rimanermi davvero impressi.

This one was decent, but too much like Uncharted. Lots of shooting and almost no exporation. Not a proper Tomb Raider to me.
The graphics, at least in PS5, were weak. I'd say they looked weak even in release time, and haven't brought a next gen patch.

I played on PS 5. It was so bugged. I couldn’t finish the game because last part the rooms gone, graphics break down… So dissapointing.

It's a bit disappointing that the remake of Tomb Raider could not deliver any new content of value, but the graphics and next-gen effects are eye candy that is more than welcome. This is not enough for the already saved to buy Lara Croft's latest adventure again, but the game is still a shining example of an entertaining action adventure that should be experienced.

Minha estreia em Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition foi no Switch 2 e a experiência foi fantástica. A história, os personagens e a jogabilidade me conquistaram. Já estou na torcida para que as sequências da franquia também cheguem ao console da Nintendo.

Jogo perfeito de Tomb Raider com Lara ainda aprendendo as mãnhas de ser uma exploradora, um dos melhores da franquia.

One of the best adventure games on console, with a fantastic blend of action and exploration. The Definitive Edition really is definitive, but isn't worth a repeat buy for those who've already experienced Lara's story.

It’s the same brilliant game that came out last year, all polished up and looking its finest. For returning adventurers, on the other hand, there’s so little in the way of new content that there’s not much point buying the new version unless you had an urge to replay it anyway.

Its thin characters and unconvincing narrative aside, the game maintains a sense of inertia, pounding action, and a balance between solid gunplay, distracting puzzles, and satisfying environmental traversal.

While all of these positives remain a huge plus, though, Tomb Raider still has plenty of flaws, the story being its biggest misstep. Incredibly obvious and packed full of cliches, you can't help but cringe at some of the dialogue as people speak to each other as if they were reciting a GCSE play. The Last of Us would laugh Tomb Raider out of the playground.

Tomb Raider is a terrific game, and the Definitive Edition is a gorgeous looking version of it. It's the same game it was in 2013, though, with no further improvements justifying its "definitive" status.

I’m playing this for my first time and it’s amazing.i started the series with shadow of the tomb raider and then played rise of the tomb raider. Now, I’m playing this and I like this gamemore than the other. But they are all amazing man. Definitely need to play if u haven’t

Historia de risa, pero jugabilidad todavía resultona, trece años después. Pasado en 8 horas.

Dropped this game 3 times and came back to it, every single time I came back I never enjoyed it, just too boring and feels too gimicky.

Three quarters into the game, three questions come to mind. Will one ever be able to re-sell a digital copy? How does an anemic, lobotomized Uncharted clone earn 85 on Metacritic? And where did the actual tombs and raiding go? One will never know. What stays for sure is poor writing, bland characters, clunky controls, dull levels and unremarkable gunplay. All the frosting can't quite obscure a dud.
SummaryArmed with only the raw instincts and physical ability to push beyond the limits of human endurance, Tomb Raider delivers an intense and gritty story into the origins of Lara Croft and her ascent from a frightened young woman to a hardened survivor.
