A fun game, but doesn't exactly have a Tomb Raider feel.

Tomb Raider Reboot is a fun game, it has excellent graphics, smooth gameplay and is just a joy to play. But, I feel this game would have been better off being named something else, not Tomb Raider. In the original ,or the remake of the original I played, the main focus of the gameplay was puzzle solving, and raiding tombs to find treasure. This reboot takes all the focus off tomb raiding and takes more attention on shooting people in the head and gaining XP. The idea of tomb raiding in this game becomes a secondary, optional objective that you do not have to do. Basically what I am saying is, the game is fun but it feels more like another game and it would have been better off being one.

Gameplay:
8/10

Besides not feeling like a tomb raider game, this game plays very well and will keep the player's attention throughout it's 10+ hour play-through. The available tombs scattered throughout the semi open world are fun puzzles to solve and the scenery is beautiful to look at.

Graphics:
9/10

Easily one of the best looking games so far, but the game is not very well coded for PC. Tessellation turned on makes the game crash; since I have an Nvidia card (GTX 670), and the game can lag down to the high 20's (FPS) in some large areas. I hope patches will come around one day and fix the crashing and lag in this beautiful looking game.


Pros:

Gameplay is fun, controls are great and graphics are amazing

Cons:

Lag (even on high end cards), crashes on Nvidia cards and the game doesn't feel like a Tomb Raider game.


Overall:
8.5/10

While the game should go by a different name, Tomb Raider is an excellent game that anyone will enjoy.
