Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
Release Date: March 5, 2013
The tenth iteration of adventures of Lara Croft, released as a reboot of the original, cult action-adventure series - Tomb Raider. The game was developed by Crystal Dynamics Studios under the auspices of Eidos Montreal. Their goal was to re-imagine the heroine in a new, grittier way. The game is set on an island near the coast of Japan, where young Lara Croft came in search for relics of ancient civilizations.
Tomb Raider is the latest installment of the classic action series game spiced with adventure elements. The game was developed by Crystal Dynamics, the same studio that created three previous installments, i.e. the Anniversary, Legend and Underworld.
This game is a series reboot so you play as young Lara Croft before she became the famous adventurer. Powerful storm damages Lara’s research vessel and our heroine lands on a mysterious island near the coast of Japan. The player’s task is to survive in wild and hostile environment.
This time Lara is both the hunter and the prey. This aspect is stressed owing to new brutal combat mechanics and various applications for available weapons, i.e. a bow. To survive, players must use everything they have at hand, while found ropes, hooks and machetes may be essential when exploring the game world. Additional feature is a new movement system enabling almost any possible move that only comes to the player’s mind. The Tomb Raider series has been renowned for its platform game elements and the latest installment significantly raises the bar in this regard.
Tomb Raider breaks the linearity of its predecessors and offers large, open and constantly changing world divided into a number of smaller sites unlocked as the player progresses. A new feature, i.e. character development through the distribution of skill points and the ability to create objects of different elements the players find during the exploration of the island has been introduced. For the purpose of the series reboot, the developers decided to quit the automatic aiming system and replace it with a completely new one, forcing player to aim at the enemies and fire.
The game runs on Crystal Engine offering breathtaking views, high-resolution textures and detailed character models. Moreover, animation has been improved just as physics engine.

Game Ratings for Tomb Raider Video Game.
Digital Trends: 4.75 / 5 by Adam Rosenberg
The Definitive Edition of Tomb Raider is a marginal presentational enhancement to the undeniably excellent 2013 release.
Push Square: 8 / 10 by Sammy Barker
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is an exceptional port of an already entertaining escapade, but outside of the extravagant visuals, there's not a whole lot to sweeten the purchase a second time. If you have a perverse penchant for grave robbing, or you've never stepped foot on the strange shores of Yamatai before, then this is an enjoyable band-aid for the emerging next-gen drought. Just don't expect it to change your mind if you didn't like the original game.
PlayStation LifeStyle: 8 / 10 by Anthony Severino
Tomb Raider itself is well-worth the purchase—it's a great game. The decision you must make is if improved visuals are enough to warrant buying this Definitive Edition. Frankly, I'm convinced that its release is more about profitability on a product that's already crafted than it is about bringing a vastly superior next-generation version of Tomb Raider to the market. For $59.99, it's not that much better than the PS3 version aside from some visual sprucing. Those that have already experienced the game aren't missing much with the Definitive Edition. However, had you missed Tomb Raider on the PS3 and have interest in Lara Croft's surprisingly fast transformation into a resilient killing machine, then you may as well pony up the extra cash to play the best version of the game: the Definitive Edition.
