Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition - PlayStation 4

I have played many Tomb Raider games in many consoles throught the years (PC, PS1, Wii) so I have been able to experience some great games, but none of those previous games comes close to the MASTERPIECE that this game is.About a year ago, I bought my PS4 and some games, including Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. I did not have my hopes too high because I have read some mixed reviews on this game, so when I started to play the game I was completely overwhelmed by how good it is. I am going to divide my review in parts so that I can explain each aspect in a much more detailed way. I want to clarify that the game has a multiplayer mode but I have not played it because I am not really fond of those.STORY/PLOT (No spoilers):The story is amazing; you get in it right from the start. The more you play the game, the more you sympathize with Lara. You do not start with your complete equipment right from the start, so you really feel like a survivor when you have to hunt and craft your weapons or upgrades. The story is long and it has some interesting plot-twists that players will love.GRAPHICS:The game looks incredible; the graphics are top-notch. Everything looks very good; I have seen some comparison videos of the PS3 and PS4 versions and you can clearly see that it has improved a lot. Lara Croft looks very real, throughout the game her clothes react to the way you play (i.e: if they shoot you, the blood will remain in her shirt). The other characters and the environments look very good as well. There were some missions in which it was raining and the water drops reflected the light from the thunders up above.GAMEPLAY:Now, this is one of the most important facts of a game. In this case, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition has a great gameplay because it is easy to learn but difficult to master. The controls are very intuitive, but if you do not like them, you can always change them later in options. The game is very cleverly made because in almost all missions you can choose to sneak and attack enemies one by one or you can go against all of them head-on (but you have to be careful because ammo is not infinite and you have to be very wise regarding it).All in all, I highly recommend this game to anyone who wants to play a game with a great plot, graphics and gameplay and a high replay value. It is an amazing game that will remain in your mind long after you finish it.

Awesome game, came in excellent condition! And on time! Very good game to play!

A decent game. I just have to figure out how it goes

What else can I say about this game that others haven't? I actually played the Steam version of this game on my computer and forgotten I had gotten this as a 'stocking stuffer' for Xmas when it was on a deep sale, (really cheap). The graphics, motion capture, story - its all very engrossing and thrilling, making for a wonderful adventure I haven't seen or experienced since I played The Last of Us. It definitely features more of the gritty, harsh qualities of that aforementioned game, including the level of violence. Some of the death animations in this game are just... brutal and incredibly graphic.Anyway, back on topic: this is an excellent game. Its a game you hear about where you can play how you want. Want to be loud and go all out with a bang? You can do that. Want to be stealthy and kill all the enemies in the area with not ONE person being able to raise any kind of alarm? You can do that too. All in all, an awesome game that will bring you along on a heck of an adventure. I put in about 11 hours into the game or so, and definitely feel I got more than my money's worth for that.Tis' a shame I will have to wait till later this year to buy the sequel for PS4. This is one of those exclusivity titles that definitely suffers from being a console timed exclusive. I'm sure the developer still gets paid sure, but it must be a blow to your confidence when the sales are better for PC than XBone, when that version was released several months later. Unfortunately for Tomb Raider, it just doesn't have the base built in to draw in the numbers like it might've done on PS4, like what Uncharted is able to do.

This game is a must own for ps4 owners. It is at the very top of the list of games to own this year. Tomb Raider Definitive Edition puts titles like Thief, Watchdogs, and CoD to shame. I was absolutely stunned by how lifelike and gorgeous Lara was and the level of detail in the environment.Good:- 25 hours of game play with 97% of collectibles found- Lara is drop dead gorgeous and looks like a real human being- The deep emotion displayed by lara makes you feel connected and you truly care what happens to her- The story line is complete with no plot holes and easy to understand- The foundation of the story is very sound. Extremely well planned out and executed. This could be one of the best stories in a video game.- Scenery and environment is incredible. The island is breathtaking. I kept stopping at every cliff to gaze out into the beautiful world of Yamatai.- A good array of weaponry and tools- Over 30 different weapon upgrades- 5 different outfits for Lara (I mostly stuck with aviatrix and commando)- Lots of extras to unlock and the comics you can actually read unlike kz shadow fall- Behind the scenes unlockable videos. This is what every game should have. I always like to watch the making of: after every game I complete.- Death cut scenes. I must have seen over twenty different ways Lara died like being impaled by a broken log, eaten alive by wolves, breaking her head on the rocks, shot in cold blood, stabbed...etc.Bad:- No map key. This made it very confusing in the first half of the game. You didn't know what was what on the map.- The ending. I didn't like how quickly it ended. They should've added another 20 min of game play and made you face off with the sun queen. The game was beat too easily on normal difficulty.- The ship crew. They tried to fit in every race they could. Black, native, Asian,British, Aryan, Scottish, Irish. It just looked goofy and seemed out of place.
