Overall：♥♥♥♥♥
Tomb Raider was one of my favorite games in 2017. It was developed by Crystal Dynamics and as an Exploration Action Adventure Game, the heroine – Lara Croft created by the fantastic story is my favorite character of all TR series.
Lara is obviously my goddess compared to the impression she left in my mind during my childhood. Gorgeous graphics, beautiful movie esque quality features and even the elegant red-brown hair of Lara make me feel the way I was flipped.
However, it is also the most bloody edition of Lara. In the game, the two main parts: Third Personal Shooting (TPS) and Exploration are alternately combined properly, which makes the plot develops smoothly, and the player’s sense of engagement could be gained easily through battle.
As a crazy collector, actually there are still tons of missing collectibles in the game, which means that my achievements/completion of the game is not so good. Also, the proportion of the shooting part is a bit larger than the others of the series. Players who do not like TPS are prone to fatigue after engaging for a long time.
The story begins with Lara in her youth, who has been traveling with her parents in various archaeological teams. When she grows up and graduates from University of Cambridge , she decides to put aside those ancient documents and musty libraries and embark on a career of her own. Her first adventure was to launch a scientific exploration vessel called the Endurance, together with Explorer and bounty hunter Conrad Ross.
In the game, I could manipulate Lara to climb buildings and fly through the jungle like Superman with delicately designed parkour element. Also, I could feel the atmosphere of terror in the isolated islands with the background music. Additionally, the voice actor really made the game. They brought a sense of depth and life to the characters that made them feel real.
Lara Croft was set at the age of 21, when she was just an inexperienced beginner. As a fast paced action sequences, we could quickly get familiar with the game and Lara, acquiring new weapons, equipment and skills, and with our operation getting more sophisticated, Lara is growing significantly.
Overall, Tomb Raider is a fast paced action-adventure-exploration game with gorgeous visuals. It is the best Lara Croft in my mind even compared to the newly released one called Shadow of Tomb Raider.
