The storyline's pretty linear, but it takes you through a few expansive areas that are stuffed with side missions, challenges, and best of all, the optional Challenge Tombs: secret ruins in which you'll need to solve a complex puzzle to unlock a powerful perk for Lara. She and Nathan Drake should compare notes sometime.Īs in the last game, Crystal Dynamics has created a mix of straight-ahead action adventure with "RPG-lite" character development, and given it all a strong survivalist motif. Her quest takes her, via a brief stop in Syria, to the mountains of Siberia on a quest for - you guessed it - a lost city and a powerful, ancient artefact. A little older and a little tougher than the shipwrecked archaeology student who appeared in that game, Lara is now a hardened adventurer on a single-minded quest to prove right the outlandish claims made by her father, the disgraced toff Lord Croft.

Lara Croft's rebooted adventures continue in this sequel to 2013's Tomb Raider.
