1. Rise of the Tomb Raider (PC, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, macOS, Linux) – 2015

Rise of the Tomb Raider PC Tech features gameplay

A return to form for Lara Croft and her tomb-raiding shenanigans, Rise of the Tomb Raider is the critically acclaimed sequel to Crystal Dynamics’ reboot of the series, following 2013’s Tomb Raider. Having recently played the third sequel, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I find myself to still being partial to this one, as I liked its setting more. Rise of the Tomb Raider focuses on Lara’s next adventure to find the promise to immortality in the legendary of Kitezh hidden deep within the mountains of Siberia.

Gameplay remains unchanged from Tomb Raider, although it has been streamlined in order to be more efficient. Aside from the story missions, Lara can discover and raid hidden tombs which give secret parts in order to create better weapons. Crafting also takes center stage, which go hand-in-hand with hunting animals for crafting materials, inevitably granting Lara access to better equipment. Aside from a variety of weapons at her disposal, Lara also has access to tools via her bow which allows traversal through rough terrain.

Similar to MGSV in that: stealth is rewarded while still maintaining action throughout some sequences.

All-New Locations: At the heart of Tomb Raider has always been the exotic yet beautiful locations. Rise of the Tomb Raider takes place in Kitezh, a fictional legendary city deep within the mountains of Siberia.

Silent Raider: Rise of the Tomb Raider allows you to play each situation differently, whether through loud and violent confrontations of through silent and efficient pickings.

Hidden Tombs and So Much More: The game’s map holds many secrets to discover, and as Lara Croft, it is your duty to find and raid each one in order to gain better gear and equipment.
