Tomb Raider

9.5/10

First Impressions 

At first, i felt different. I played the Tomb Raider Underworld on PS2 and after comparing both i saw many differences.
It was a huge deal for me. Before playing it, i wasn't a big fan of tomb raider series. But, playing this i fell in love with this game. It sounds to weird to some people but this is the reality.
The first thing i noticed was graphics obviously but where graphics matters there also gameplay and story also matter. So, i didn't stop playing this game for 4 hours.

Main Protagonist and Other Characters

Lara Croft is the main character and protagonist. Lara Croft is a badass. At first, she hesitates to kill and after her first kill. She regrets and becomes afraid. But then, she overcomes of her fears and finish every enemy who comes in her way.
There are also her friends. Lara comes to island named Yamatai with them. The main two friends are Sam and Jonah. Lara met a man named Mathias. Mathias and Sam both have a major role in storyline. 

AI

The AI of game is better. The enemies as always tries to kill the player. If the player is stealthy, then it becomes easy to kill on one hand but on the other it becomes difficult when you kill someone in stealth, you have to look for the other enemies. Sometimes you succeed sometimes not. If you fail then you have to go guns blazing. Game is amazing.
At some levels, if you go guns blazing, it becomes a bit difficult but you can manage it if you play carefully. Covers are source for safety from enemies firing.

Story

Lara set out on a journey to find the lost kingdom of Yamatai but the ship is hit by a storm. Storm separated Lara and the others are at a location where Lara has to go. Lara wakes up in a cave, gets out of that cave and starts her adventure.
During her adventure, Lara faces many challenges but she has to keep going. The motivation that keeps her going is her friend Sam. There is a lot of stuff going on in the game. Lara has to figure out everything. 
This is the little synopsis of the game.  

Game Design and Gameplay

Game is designed in new way than the previous games that is because this is a reboot. Levels are designed perfectly for Lara. The game is balanced. You don't have to grind much.
There is a skill tree. You can get new skills at campfires. 
You can also upgrade your guns. There are ziplines, which are a great source of going to another place where bridges are broken. In other games, you have to go to that place through another route which is long. That makes this game great. In the beginning, the guns have a large recoil but with upgrading, recoil decreases.

Side Activities

The game also have side missions such as tombs. You can upgrade your character. The side tombs are a real challenge to test your puzzle solving skills. Some tombs are a bit easy than the other one. Some are difficult. But this is the charm of the game. That's all.
