Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration reviews and comments
Gunplay feels deeper in this game. It's a little harder, since you have less ammo available. You can't autoheal in higher difficulties, enemies flank more often and throw things at you a lot to make you rotate. Because of that, crafting becomes important to get special ammo, and mitigating the use of some weapons becomes important (you don't want to get in a bad spot with no shotgun ammo).
Graphics-wise, this game is beautiful. I played in 4K Ultrawide with max settings. It's so easy to be impressed here. The scenarios, illumination, destruction, and overall cinematic look make a huge difference. Not to talk about the facial expressions. It's hard not to admire Lara's face often. Unfortunately, the 21:9 aspect ratio doesn't work in cutscenes, which breaks the experience. The performance was really unstable, but since I'm playing in 4K with an RTX 2060, I'll not complain about it.
About the story... well, the premise is not as good as the last game, honestly. The best part about it is there is more emphasis on Lara's persona. It's not that deep, but it's there, and I know it will be explored in the next game. That said, the characters could be more interesting. Feels like everything goes around Lara. That breaks the immersion a little. But there's a lot of potential here.
Some things that are worth mentioning: Amazing OST, good level design, rich environments, and, not less important, kinda disappointing gun sounds. I'm not asking for a Battlefield audio design level, but this does feel flat. Like the guns are toys.
That said, I'm really excited for the next game.
