Greetings from Lithuania.
I really enjoyed "Rise of the Tomb Raider" (2015) on my PS4. This is a great game, far from best and not perfect but great in every category. I liked the story, it is not as "personal" as it was in 1st part, but it was involving, if sometimes predictable - this is not an original story, more like "Uncharted" (the series which i loved) type story, but it worked. Graphics were great, game looks beautiful. Controls are superb as well as presentation, sound design game play - well, everything. Enemies AI aren't stunning and the shooting as well weren't that good as in the first game, but Tomb Raider never was about shooting, it is adventure type of game with lots to discover and it delivers fully on this aspect. There are lot to discover in this game, lots of tombs and etc. Puzzles were very good - not frustrating but very clever at the same time. Setting was good, plausible and realistic and the same time entertaining. I've completed this game in Tomb Raider type of difficulty (which stands for normal) and i got to say it was pretty easy. I died like 10-12 times, but only one or two during combat so it really easy game to beat on normal difficulty so i strongly recommend to play it on hard more for the first time. There is also very involving mansion section as well as endurance mode - very involving stuff.
Overall, i totally enjoyed Rise of the Tomb Raider. It is far from perfect, but its a very good adventure and very good game overall. I loved the first game i really liked second therefore i will really will be looking for next installments. Lara Croft, you are surely here to stay.
