This is such a great Tomb Raider game, now with over 1000% more tomb raiding than the 2013 reboot! :D

I was very happy with the 2013 reboot, and thought it was a pretty decent Tomb Raider game (though lacking in the tomb raiding) and a good reboot for the series (I also quite enjoyed the previous Anniversary, Legend, and Underworld). Well this one is even better. They improved on just about everything: the platforming, the combat, the graphics, the tombs, the story telling, everything. They even got rid of most of the annoying quick-time events and gratuitous death scenes.

It runs quite well; I only had to turn a few settings down or off (Hairworks, HBAO+) and I had playable framerates on my aging GeForce GTX880M at 1920x1080; they did tank into the 20s maybe twice in the game in some graphics intense situations, but never never during cutscenes or combat. PC controls work fine (I chose to play with KB/M; only tiny issue is a mislabeled button in the map tutorial: it says press space to mark an objective, but you actually have to press enter). All in all a good port (or perhaps a parallel development?).

Seriously, though, if you enjoyed Tomb Raider 2013 but felt it lacked in the tomb raiding department, then you'll want this game. Crystal Dynamics NAILED IT! :)
