Tomb Raider

The dialog is a bit goofy, but the gameplay and environments are diverse and beautiful.

Growing up, the quirky Tomb Raider series was always a favourite.

The latest Tomb Raider adds lots of story to the action and exploration. It's full of diverse environments, beautiful visuals, and a goofy but fun story that still rejects the pressure to grow up.

The Plusses:
- Fun to play
- All the great Lara Croft acrobatics you're used to
- Great progression of abilities and weapons
- Amazing and gorgeous environments
- Easy to travel back to past destinations to complete optional objectives

Needs Work:
- Goofy dialog, the writing pretty much sucked
- Too much moaning and sighing and "oh no, poor me" attitude. Be an ass-kicker Lara!
- I would have preferred a more realistic scifi ending to the fantasy ending, but that's just my preference

Overall, a great game that ended too soon!
