Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Review

By Daniel Bischoff

Hey good lookin'

With 2013 behind us, next-generation Xbox and PlayStation consoles in our homes, and a little bit of extra cash to squeeze out of the latest Tomb Raider game, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have thrown everything they have at Lara Croft and come up with a damn gorgeous game. While extremely little has changed in Lara’s mechanics…

  • Lara Croft, Tomb Raider
  • Platforming and traversal gameplay
  • Tight third-person shooting and combat
  • Hidden Tombs!
  • Lack of real character development
  • Tacked-on, passable multiplayer
  • Stories discovered in collectibles
  • Pacing and variation in gameplay
  • Letting Lara die
  • KILL ALL THE MEN

I attended San Jose State University and graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's in English and a Minor in Journalism. I've been playing games my whole life and will continue to do so as long as they stay entertaining! Some of my favorite games include Team Fortress 2, Battlefield 3, Star Fox 64, Batman: Arkham City, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Counter-Strike: Source, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby's Dream Land, and the list goes on.
