What a narrative. Who is Lara Croft? Is she the defender of civilizations, subsequently the world, as she fights corrupt PMCs and kills ancient evils? The wholehearted girl who cries at the loss of a character she met 2 hours ago? The narrative tells you this unflinchingly as the game begins with Lara unremorsefully causing the Armageddon and getting hundreds to potentially thousands of people killed. Not sure of the scope, but that's as we see it. This is touched upon later by her, but like is best said by her companion Jonah: she seems to think it's all about her regardless

 Stealth kills are very satisfying, and it's also a satisfying loop to get into, short of having more mechanics to really round it out (a la Last of Us, imo).

 Except the game falls into all the pit traps any other of its ilk do, which is, "You are only allowed to climb here, and here. All the other space in this open world game is unavailable, sorry!" What's the point of giving me these fun tools if I can't even climb a regular, flat wall like I usually do when you *want* me to? Not only that, but I kept confusing completely non-traversal terrain with my strict, predetermined path; which they easily could have been, had the game any sense of variety. In the linear segments, it was at its worst, and underwhelming in tombs. Something that could have had a lot of variety for active, engaging gameplay, instead just felt like a frustrating railroad that killed time

What an absolute graphical treat, this game looks and runs pretty amazing. Of course, near the end, it wouldn't stop glitching on me every chance it got (I think the developers ran out of time), but for the most part it all played beautifully. Much of the animation I saw was fantastic (again, except glitches, like opening sarcophagi), Lara felt great to move around and fantastic facial animations (no, not the lipsync). The combat was easily the clunkiest part, but I can excuse that as it wasn't the worst thing ever

In terms of gameplay, everything controls fairly smoothly except when it glitches on my 10th consecutive climbing segment jump, or when I'm underwater and can drift like I'm in fucking Initial D. The open combat is sorely neglected. There's essentially no satisfaction from openly murdering these poor PMCs Lara comes across--not even in the shotgun, which is meant to be the very epitome of feel-good shooting in games. Not in this one, sadly

 Wait for a sale, Rent or never touch it again. Rating scale with rent being replaced by deep Deep Sale on PC This is a buy, but it's tentative. You really need to understand what you're going into. If you like to Rise, you'll probably like this

 And now it's time for the Big Dog which is gameplay and a bit about the story now. Tomb Raider starts where let's be honest I Think they all should have started and that's Lara and deep shit set a bit after. Rhys She's gotten herself into trouble once again by setting the stage for the end of the world. Supposedly she's fresh off stealing an ancient relic that can maybe possibly bring on the apocalypse and then comes right in the crosshairs of an organization Trinity which also wants the relic for themselves so they can reshape the world if they combine it with another relic convoluted you ask? Surprisingly enough, not really, you see

 It's not bad, it just doesn't really do anything for me. Jonah on the other hand, continues to be excellent with a nice rendition of the side dude with the tude being split down the middle with a caring, older bigger brother.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Review "Buy, Wait for Sale, Rent, Never Touch?"

Now, the reason I didn't enjoy these activities in 'Shadow' may be considered questionable, since it is unfortunately related to the (still fantastic) graphical quality and environmental design, which makes gameplay conflict jarringly with appearance. Thanks to expansive vistas and excessive (but realistic) amounts of clutter everywhere, areas seem much less linear than they actually are. On the surface, this might sound nice, and could have been an improvement if it didn't actually reduce player freedom by preventing you from going anywhere you are not absolutely supposed to go. In the first 'Tomb Raider', the area borders were very obvious, which is admittedly clunky, but in exchange everything inside was traversible, whereas in 'Shadow' you can't even jump on the roofs of houses

Combat encounters have also been trimmed significantly, both overall and in terms of number of enemies, which leaves puzzles and traversal for the majority of what you actually do. While there are fewer, but much larger world areas, both mandatory as well as optional puzzles (crypts and tombs, which are much more hidden and out of the way now), are more numerous and notably larger than before.

 The completely unnecessary side-quests added for padding are also insultingly nonsensical, such as when a guy from an isolated village in the middle of the jungle asks Lara to find an artifact the queen tasked him to acquire as proof of his worth, because he 'doesn't have the time'. This might be par for the course in MMOs, but at least a little better should be expected from a story-focused first-person game such as this, especially when between the many lengthy (often unskippable) cutscenes and annoyingly long animations for everything from sitting down at a fire to wiggling through a crevice during which you lose control of Lara, large portions of the game are non-gameplay.

For one, not only is the story forgettable, which is to be expected, the narration (the overall way in which the story is conveyed), which was excellent in the first 'Tomb Raider', is complete garbage here. Like in many blockbuster movies, things happen more or less randomly all over the place without any coherence or emotional urgency and even though the scope is supposed to be grander, it never feels like there is much at stake without any personal investment from Lara, who is really just a tourist who happens to be nearby when the locals do things. The completely unnecessary side-quests added for padding are also insultingly nonsensical, such as when a guy from an isolated village in the middle of the jungle asks Lara to find an artifact the queen tasked him to acquire as proof of his worth, because he 'doesn't have the time'.

The first and sadly, for me at least, only positive aspect of this game were the absolutely gorgeous graphics. It's quite impressive how much visual fidelity has improved in a mere five years, and the performance is good as well.

 Term rating is the primary focus here, thankfully. so story missions feature fewer firefights than the past two games and more lowly traversal shadows. puzzle based story missions optional. Crypts and nine Challenge tombs are giant, intricate affairs where ideas are rarely reused, forcing you to figure out their rules afresh each time

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Review

The Developers : how many times we should let the players fall in love with Lara Croft? Y E S. 

-The story discovers more about Lara vs Trinity conflict. It also solves the cliffhanger at the end of Rise of the Tomb Raider.

This time they invested all they got into the main story, and there is no Croft Manor Mode.

The worst thing about the game is probably non-stealth combat, shooting feels clunky and unpolished, not even close to the previous Tomb Raider. There is always a "toy guns" feeling that makes you wonder how a triple-A game managed to get launched with such bad shooting animations, toy sounds and artificial recoil.

Blood and gore, strong language, intense violence

 It's a big, broad, beautiful shooter that nails the Star Wars' atmosphere almost everywhere. The campaign is still a bit of a snore and occasionally long queue times and matchmaking, and a handful of forgettable game modes give the multiplayer a couple of caveats, but highlights like Capital Supremacy make it stand out, and the progression system is fair and rewarding. Overall, it's a great package now that serves as one of the best and most thrilling ways to have an authentic Star Wars gaming experience. Hungry for more? Star Wars Why not watch our review of Jedi Fallen Order or see the first episode of our series breaking down the movie's greatest lightsaber duels with the creative teams that made them And for everything else, stick with us right here at IGN Of course, we'll be with you [Music]

 It's not very difficult to queue up for the main modes like Capital Supremacy and Galactic Assault, especially on Ps4, but smaller modes like Hero Showdown and Hero Star Fighters can take a few minutes of waiting before you can enjoy them. Then there are the even less popular modes like the capture based jet pack, Cargo, or Blast which is just team deathmatch. Those are often complete dead zones with no players. Thankfully, QuickPlay is a reliable fallback that will always drop you in - it's hot, but the limited choice cues can occasionally be disappointing All the same, The recently added Capital Supremacy mode is both one of the busiest and one of the best

Almost since the beginning, Star Wars has been a story of redemption from Darkness, So in an ironic sort of way, Battlefront 2 is a better Star Wars game because of its initial fall to the Dark side and subsequent journey back to the Light. After over two years of updates and changes, EA and Dice have redeemed this gorgeous shooter and turned into one of the best multiplayer adaptations of the Star Wars universe to date, Taking an all Battlefront to now has to offer at once is honestly a bit overwhelming. Setting aside the overly safe, short and disappointing single-player story, there's a wealth of wave based cooperative maps and a litany of online competitive multiplayer modes. Most of them play wonderfully and they all use that classic Star Wars look and feel on an unrivaled scale

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Review (2019)

 The story campaign is perfectly fine. However, most people play this game for the online arcade mode to battle in teams against other players. The original Battlefront 1 and 2 that came out years ago (early 2000s) had the same type of gameplay, but the new Battlefront 1 and 2 were made by EA, and that's where the problems begin.  For parents: What is not listed on the box is EA's toxic behavior of putting loot boxes (unregulated gambling) and pay to win tactics (paid upgrades for the best gear and playable characters such as jedi and sith) into the game

 So, unbeknownst to you parents out there, your child or teenager is being exposed to unregulated gambling in their videogame if they get a hold of your money, and being tempted to purchase their favorite characters from StarWars to play as in the game. The game does not force them to pay any additional charges, but they will have to spend hours playing the game just to be able to play as Luke, Vader, or other popular StarWars characters due to how EA uses this 'grind' to tempt many players to cheat ahead by buying the characters instead. Unfortunately this is also present in games such as Overwatch and Fortnite. Please be advised and monitor your child's gameplay experience

 This game requires hours and hours of battles in game to unlock a single character like Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader, for example, and therefore EA entices players to simply 'pay to win' by providing the option to purchase these characters with real money to unlock them ahead of everyone else who has to work hard in the game to access these characters. EA also put loot boxes in Battlefront 2, which allows the player to pay with real money to obtain a random reward in game identical to gambling machines in real life.

Decent game for a StarWars fan, but parents be warned.

 Woo! Time to buy the guns I want and get some sweet upgrades. Yeah!!!" BF2: "Well, I played 10 matches and finally have enough for 1 single loot create. What the what.

 I feel actual anger when I go to upgrade my abilities or try to get a new weapon... because it's simply ridiculous

With a Heavy Heart.... I Give You 1 Star.

 Then the multiplayer. While it did not take me long to unlock heroes to play with, I have no idea how to really work the system. There are brief text tutorials but then there’s a crafting system that needs to be discovered in the menus. The unlock system requires crates to get stuff because with the amount of points you get per match I’d never have anything to upgrade my player with

 There are different game modes that have no guide or tutorial in them all bunched up in on 40 player game mode. No way to chose what map you want or which unique mode to play. The menus are glitchy and hard to manage. There is no real player customization if you wanted to make your online trooper look different from the rest

I actually liked battlefront 1 when it came out even though all ...

 Ultimately, all the offline content is severely lacking. The game is obviously designed so that every player will be forced to play the online multiplayer for any real, satisfying experience, and thus will be forced to either spend countless hours grinding or pay for loot boxes. The whole game feels like a trap just to get more of your money. It is sick that EA would take a franchise so dear as Star Wars and basically use it as a giant ATM

 The whole game feels like a trap just to get more of your money. It is sick that EA would take a franchise so dear as Star Wars and basically use it as a giant ATM.  Don’t bother buying this game if you aren’t planning on playing the online multiplayer. If you do plan on buying it, wait for a sale

  The campaign is short and pretty lackluster. It has some good moments, but in general, it’s forgetful. However, at least it’s there. It’s a step in the right direction from the previous game

  Don’t bother buying this game if you aren’t planning on playing the online multiplayer. If you do plan on buying it, wait for a sale. Don’t buy it full price. It’s not worth it, and EA doesn’t deserve $60 of your money for this

The Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back

  Overall I'm glad I bought it, especially now that EA has gotten rid of a lot of the pay-to-play stuff. If you love Star Wars games, you'll definitely enjoy this for at least the single player campaign.

 You really need a fast, solid internet connection to play this one, or you will have some lag and glitches. The story campaign was maybe the best part, and if nothing else it's a good practice for playing online--although you won't get most of the weapons and abilities available in it until you play a LOT of multiplayer.

Fun for a little while

 It’s a mix between shootouts, lightsaber fighting and vehicular combat including space battles. My favorite multiplayer mode is Heroes vs Villains which puts Light Side heroes up against the Dark Side villains from all three trilogies. This mode has a mix between lightsaber code quarter and long range gun fights.  GRAPHICS 8/10 The graphics are very good
