It's no dry character piece though, says Daniel Krupa on IGN. The game shows Croft's character hardened by her experiences and driven to complete her new adventure at all costs, and "we catch a brief glimpse of the classic Lara Croft – bold, strong, and confident in her choices". The perilous opening mountain climbing sequence, where players guide Lara up a mountain, avoiding falling chunks of ice and imminent death, is "quite brilliant", says Corriea, because it brings you "right to the edge of your seat" and puts you through your paces immediately in a trial by fire.īut while the physical journey is arduous, "it's the emotional journey Lara is taking that adds power to the narrative", says Corriea.
It's "bigger and bolder than its predecessor", he says, and on the Xbox One, "it's one heck of a looker".įrom ice climbing up the sides of a snowy mountain, to coming face to face with a grizzly bear, and escaping from a burning building, "there's a lot to get the blood pumping", says Kubas-Meyer, who predicts that the full game is going to be "awesome" and "huge".Īlexa Ray Corriea on Gamespot was equally impressed.
Gaming reviewers have had their first sneak peek at the new game – so what do they think?Īlec Kubas-Meyer in the Daily Beast spent three hours with the new game "marveling at the visual spectacle of the whole thing". The game, developed by Crystal Dynamics, is scheduled for release on Xbox360 and Xbox One in November this year, and on other platforms in 2016. Lara becomes obsessed with finding the truth that eluded her father, and travels to Siberia for the ancient city Kitezh, which she believes holds answers about immortality. It picks up the story with young Lara Croft discredited by the Trinity organisation, which dismisses her experiences of the supernatural on Yamatai as fanciful illusions. Rise of the Tomb Raider is the latest instalment in the 20-year-old Tomb Raider franchise, and the second entry since the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot which focused on Lara Croft's origins.
