A Survivor is Born....

To sum it all up, this game is INTENSE!!!! Now, I wasn't really a fan of the Tomb Raider franchise until this one..... this one took the series to a whole new level.

This is the origin of how Lara Croft became who she is.... This game is not about the making of an action hero but a story of a girl doing everything she must in order to survive. She is faced with challenges along the way as she discovers the secrets of the island....

The story of the game is just splendid ^_^ It's well written and easy to follow, with lots of twists and turns that will keep you on edge.... I can't spoil it so you'll just have to find out for yourself. The character development is also very well executed and so is the superb voice acting.

The visuals are beautiful. I can't get enough of how rich the environments are. Every place feels different from the last one and it doesn't feel repetetive. Partner that with the amazing musical score of Jason Graves and you've got a Masterpiece....

On towards the gameplay..... smooth movements, no camera issues, auto-crouching when enemies are nearby, aiming is easy and well done and it's so satisfying to perform headshots on enemies :D You also have survival instincts which points out enemies, animals (for hunting), artifacts, and crucial items you need to progress... Difficulty is just about right. On easy, Lara is pretty much indestructible :/ so you need not worry about dying all the time XD although you need to be fast during the QTE or she will die a very gruesome death -_-

Overall Experience: Wow.... Just wow!!! If it seems like I'm giving out too much praise for this game, it's because it deserves it. You have to experience this for yourself to get what I really mean. It's an action-packed adventure and I highly recommend it ^_^
