TOMB RAIDER [2013] STEAM PC REVIEW

  🏆🏆  MASTERPIECE  🏆🏆

Tomb Raider 2013 is a Masterpiece Reboot that brought Lara back to life and kick-started the survivor timeline that spanned 3 great games over the years. TR 2013 brought a mature experience with a strong action-oriented focus featuring a young Lara and her amazing origin story. 

Masterpiece! I grew up playing games since 1996, but back in the day, the Tomb Raider games while popular and many friends played them, did not interest me. I was playing other video games as a kid, but I always knew about this saga.When the Tomb Raider Reboot came out in 2013, I was stunned. Loved this new realistic Lara, the fact that they drop the dumb dual welding pistols, and she now grabbed the gun like a pro, was it for me. Her body and clothing are more believable now for a female adventurer, I never really get mixing sex and video games, but that formula clearly worked for quite some time. This new Lara is fantastic, you get attached to her while walking her journey, saving her friends, and saving herself. This 1st entry is all about "a survivor is born" so is a painful journey filled with hardships and difficult emotional moments. But in the end, we see a Tomb Raider emerge from that.

The original PC version released in 2013 is way better that the console definitive edition they released years later. Since the game was released, I completed it several times, and it's always been an exciting adventure to get into Lara's shoes. Love the stealth gameplay, the enemy pre-combat dialogs, the enemy AI is great, and the weapons! Total masterpiece and a great franchise reboot.
