As you can tell from pretty much any of the released artwork, you soon wind up with a bow and some arrows to join your arsenal of two climbing axes - this is a good time to note the fact that Lara didn’t carry any of her own gear up the blasted mountain for some reason. Lara loses consciousness - like, a lot - and so you get to play through flashbacks to fill in the blanks between the last title and Rise, because you have to get her in a tank top somehow.
As previously mentioned, you start off in Siberia, but you don’t stay there for the whole game. Though if it helps you, it decreases your score You can buy them with credits (earned through Expeditions) or with real money. You can unlock Expedition cards which offer perks to make the expeditions harder or easier - or just activate Big Head Mode. Replay levels, or get the highest score by completing a level quickly and completing certain challenges. You quickly get overrun by the undead, so if you decide to replay it through the Expedition menu then your challenges can quickly be lost…Įxpeditions are the challenge modes, including Endurance Mode, Score Attack and Chapter Replay, which are exactly what they sound like. The items are randomly placed, giving it some replay value, as well as quite a challenge. Taking place in Croft Manor, you have to collect items hidden around the manor to cast them out - as well as using violence. Wood for shelter and fire, animals for food… And you have to survive the nights against both humans and animals.ĭespite hating horror in games, I did give Lara’s Nightmare (zombie mode) a try. From the literature I was provided, you play as Lara and your partner plays as Nadia (a character from the Baba Yaga DLC), and much like normal Endurance Mode you have to gather resources to survive in the Siberian wilderness. I also couldn’t try out the co-op Endurance Mode, as nobody I knew had it meaning I literally had nobody to play with. The story itself is quite interesting, as you explore the run-down mansion, and the Croft family history through letters and recordings somewhat akin to the indie hit Gone Home. The story mission, called Blood Ties, can be played using PlayStation VR, but I couldn’t test that aspect as I don’t have the VR headset. Amongst the new things are a two player co-op version of Endurance Mode, a new hour-long story mission which takes place in Croft Manor, and a zombie mode which also takes place there. The DLC includes Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch, Cold Darkness Awakened, Endurance Mode and nine costume packs. But I’ll get into that in a minute.Ģ0 Year Celebration brings some new things to the game, as well as having all the fixes and DLC bundled with it in the same way a Game of the Year edition would. Hijinks ensue involving shooting, sneaking, hunting, crafting, fast travelling and more. She sets off to do some actual tomb raiding (which I believe she didn’t do much of in the last game), and decides the best place to do so is by climbing a Siberian mountain. Rise of the Tomb Raider continues Lara Croft’s adventures, set one year on from 2013’s Tomb Raider. It also helps give another perspective to the game, as I have much less experience with the franchise than the previous writer.Ĭlick to enlarge, and read those difficulties, at least one not on any other version
#TOMB RAIDER CELEBRATION 20 YEARS PC#
We scored the PC release as 7.5/10, and wouldn’t re-review a game unless it was on a new platform, or was supposed to have more content and be much better - this so happens to be all three, as this is the first time Rise has arrived on PlayStation 4.
#TOMB RAIDER CELEBRATION 20 YEARS WINDOWS#
Originally released almost one year ago on the Xbox One, with a Windows release a few months later, Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration touts itself as much more than the original release.
Lara Croft is just one character I’ve never hit it off with, thanks to her not being able to hold onto ledges when I wanted her to, which was quite often. That’s right, I’m playing the sequel to the reboot without having played the reboot. They didn’t have a save game, because they thought it would delete their Crash Bandicoot save game, so played it from the start every time. I’ll preface this by stating that I haven’t touched a Tomb Raider title since Tomb Raider III, and that belonged to the kids I was babysitting.
