Tomb Raider - 9 Years Later

I just got done playing this for the second time and loved it. Time to move on to the next one.

Who's here one year later... at 10 years later...

The storytelling is forgettable, the characters are forgettable, the Bad guys are forgettable, but god damn it, i love killing the enemies in these games, and i can't stand to watch lara in pain or die horribly, what's why i go for headshots everytime. It's a good game in my book.

Even after all these years, people still mispronounce her name.

Platforming in this game is boring as f. All automatic shit. Why will I play tomb raider to shoot an arrow instead of... raiding a tomb?

the traversal was based off of Crystal dynamic's own tombraider legends trilogy (legends, anniversary, underworld) not uncharted. go and play those adn you'll see what i'm talking about.

Just got the game after not playing it in years. I'm gonna try and get all the trophies for it, but I'm concerned about the MP trophies. I'm on PS5 and if anyone wants to team up and get them together, let me know 🫡

I played rise of the tomb raider for the first time this year, and it is definitely one of the better games I have ever played in the last five years of gaming

All good and well to compare Tomb Raider to Uncharted, but for anybody without a Playstation Tomb Raider was the first / original :)
I never played Uncharted and in 2013 the new Tomb Raider was for me personally incredible. Great graphics, cool combat, stealth and Laura :)

To me it still holds up.

Great video. I played this game in 2015. After a long break (where I played all of the uncharted games) , I just finished Rise of the Tomb Raider yesterday.

Watching this video brought back a flood of memories and helped me contextualize why I felt like the first game outperformed Rise in most ways.
I'm excited to watch your Rise video and then start playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider!

this game is a gem

It's been a minute, but I am pretty sure the colored subtitles was a setting that you could toggle.

I'm pretty sure "A Survivor is Born" was the original subtitle for the game before they switched to just calling it "Tomb Raider", so the words at the end were just a nod to that rather than some cheesy letting you know that Lara's a survivor now.

Laura Croaft LOL

Thank you for having a brain! Yay I likes it

I recently played the first one and at the moment play "Rise of the tomb raider". I also played the original entries of Tomb Raider and I must say I love the new ones more!

One year after that… things got even worse

I always found it hilarious that the guy who sacrificed himself did it so Lara could escape with the precious tools they desperately needed... a wrench and a screwdriver. How no one in this hardy crew of adventurers had a multitool in their pocket is beyond me.

Im returning to this video after watching a bit of the Rise of the Tomb Raider video and I'M FUCKING CRYING, Aqua really did call her Laura right through😂😂😂😂😂

This game was amazing I still play it along with the second and third

Shadow of the tomb raider had pretty much all the stealth features you talked about

So sad this game has no game plus 😐

Another great game Super Mariah Bros. Mariah and his brother Louis are great characters. You’ll love them bro

Got it from game pass all three loving it so far.

I loved this game, it’s the first tomb raider I played. But I agree the only thing I hate about this game is the camera shake, it’s random and happens even if you are walking on a flat surface. It gave me really bad motion sickness and eye fatigue, I could not play the game for more than an hour at a time.

We can also assume that stabbing himiko was a non option for mathias bc she would conjure storms when anyone tried to get out right?

all 3 of the trilogy are amazing games, all have their strengths and weaknesses but overall defiantly worth the time to sit down and play imo. although simmilar unchanted and tomb raider are both great in their own ways.
i recently played all 3 back to back on pc and for a 2013 game, tomb raider holds up very well mechanically and graphically even 11 years later. and the other 2 games being newer they play and look even better

My favorite thing about this series are the environments, lighting and the hair works it's just stunning. Giving a character's hair dynamic physics blowing in the wind undoubtedly makes their presence feel more real, cinematic and beautiful to look at as she glances around taking in the environment , and I love that she would occasionally brush her hair back with her hand it's little things like this that I wish more devs would use in action adventure games, star wars also did this and the cinematic battles look Epic

I got inspired to go outside because of this

I’m a newcomer to Tomb Raider, just played this one in 2024 for the first time and I would give it the baseline of a 5/10 it’s not terrible but it’s not amazing.

There has always been a bunch of super-natural, even alien shenanigans in the Tomb Raider Series. So that's not to blame on Uncharted. xD
Tomb Raider 3 gave me some traumatic Nightmares as a kid xD

Thank god you mentioned at the beginning - that the reboots where your first time playing the game - saved me some time.

I never fought the oni until the end. I found it weird

I still remember being 11 and buying the game with a special T-shirt that was way too big for me, only to later have nightmares of the wolfes attacking me after playing it. But now I still have that shirt and it fits me xd

11 years later. Game still looks pretty damn good I can’t complain! Hell, I’m gonna boot up the pc after work tomorrow and replay it lol. I remember having a lot of fun with the reboots. Shadow as I remember, damn Lara Fd up BIG TIME LOL.

"One Sacrifices for Realism"
Lara literally end all set pieces by falling 20 feet and using her face as a Pad
If anything Uncharted is more realistic because as insane as they are. They don't actually harm Nathan while Lara is pulling out a Piece of rebar, bleeding and swimming in filth a minute later. If Anything I'm insulted by there being a scene that she treats a broken rib. Its like they only cared once about thinking that would kill her and forget the rest of that game

I find Lara to be insane in this one. Kinda like if she suffered from schizophrenia. Most things she does are not normal, and the way she always think first of killing while sorta crying at the same time is offputting to say the least.

I loved the game but was annoyed by the story. Came down to the other survivors. They constantly shamed Lara despite saving their lives multiple times. Their attitude was unjust and their personalities so bad in comparison to Lara. Lara held the story together, was endlessly engaging, but her fellow cast members made me wanna shut the game off at times.

Some of these top comments are so fucking sad like.. gamers really love behaving like their worst sterotypes huh

I played this Tomb Raider over a year ago, and just in the last couple of weeks completed Rise and Shadow, and I came back to the first one to keep it fresh and I truly forgot just how often Lara has the crap beaten out of her in the first game

Just played it for the first time, and it was surprisingly great after all this time

Speaking of Tomb, Raider and Uncharted, have you ever played Ghost of Tsushima? That's a game to talk about.
