The new Tomb Raider is fast-paced, packed with action, and highly entertaining. It is also one of the best looking games I have ever played on the PC. The wind and water effects are extremely impressive. I have to say the developers did a fantastic job optimizing it for the PC. It ran well at max settings on my Radeon HD 7950 at 1080p.
The game has a good balance of platforming and shooting. Its story is merely decent - interesting enough to give you an incentive to finish the game, but too predictable and unrealistic to be memorable.
If you're on the fence about this, just buy it - you won't regret this purchase.
