positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider (2013) is one of the best reboots out there. It takes Lara from a scared survivor to a determined hero, and that journey is the core of what makes the game shine. Great atmosphere, strong pacing, satisfying combat (the bow is truly peak gaming), and a story that actually makes you care. It’s gritty, emotional, cinematic, but never loses sight of character growth. Also, Lara gets thrown off cliffs, stabbed, burned, crushed and somehow keeps going… stronger than my will to live on…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i got this game on sale for around 3$ and it blew me away. The graphics, visuals and the whole experience were better than I expected. It's crazy to think this game came out in 2013. hear me out, after playing this masterpiece I'm a huge Tomb Raider fan now.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A heavy, sad game about survival and loss. The atmosphere is oppressive, and every victory feels too costly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a 2013 release, this game is just insane. The way it plays just looks and feels way ahead of its time especially when compared to its competition at the time. Honestly, this game could've released 5-10 YEARS later and still it wouldn't feel too outdated. You can just tell that a ton of effort went into making this game, and for something of this quality to come out in 2013? It's no surprise it was so astonishing back then. It has one of the best stories I have ever played, it always keeps…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Survivor Is Born There are games that age like forgotten campfire embers. And then there’s Tomb Raider which still burns bright. The real strength remains the core adventure. Combat is fast, punchy, and surprisingly varied. One minute you’re scrambling through collapsing structures, the next you’re picking enemies apart with bow and rifle. The pacing rarely lets you sit still, and that momentum is part of what makes it memorable. Lara herself is the heart of it all and is such a cutie.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Somehow, the craziest part of this game was watching the end credits and realizing how long ago 2013 truly was.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely one of the best reboots i've played, its just fun all around. Hits the story and combat well even the classic puzzle sections throughout the story or the optional tombs you'll find are enjoyable. Only downfall was the camera shaking there is alot of camera shaking even basic movements like running/walking and jumping so if you're prone to motion sickness, something to take into consideration. There is no turning it off but there is a mod on nexus for it to disable it fully.…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developers updated the game so that the edges of the screen would be cut off and then never fixed it despite the community telling them to. The only "fix" is to go into properties and revert back to an update before they did this. I used to play this game on Xbox and loved it, but they made it unplayable on Steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →was never big on the franchise, as I don't normally play action-platformers, but enjoyed this a surprising amount despite its qte-heavy nature (♥♥♥♥ that river section), and it ran really smoothly on my ancient hardware, unlike some other games from around the same time. much like arkham asylum, it's just the right length (15-20 hours) and it nails the balance between linear and open-world. areas are of a moderate size, there aren't too many collectibles (I think I only skipped pointless dog…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is insanely well optimised, runs buttery smooth even on my low-end office laptop — locked 60 FPS without any tweaks, and still looks absolutely stunning for its age. Tomb Raider (2013) proves you don’t need heavy ray tracing or DLSS tricks to make a game look good. The environments, lighting, and overall atmosphere still hold up really well even today. The gameplay is super engaging — perfect mix of exploration, combat, and cinematic storytelling. Feels very similar to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember playing the classic games and the trilogy when I was a little girl, getting so frustrated by the puzzles but completely mesmerized by the games themselves. I used to pour my whole soul and mind into them. Now I finally decided it’s time to play this one, see how it is and actually finish it, then continuing the series. Well, this game is absolutely phenomenal despite being an old one. It makes you feel like you're there with Lara and her crew the entire time. The moment she realizes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider still holds up surprisingly well after all these years. I have played it on PS4, PS5, and now PC. Recently, I decided to experience the entire Survivor trilogy from beginning to end, and I will be reviewing each game as I finish it. ───────────────────────────── STORY AND LARA This game does a great job of introducing a younger and less experienced Lara Croft. She does not begin as the fearless adventurer everyone knows. You see her struggle, make mistakes, and slowly become…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember playing this game back when it came out, actually a great game and holds up very well for it's age, considering it's 13 years old from when it released to me playing it again. The graphics are good, gameplay is fun and finding the documents, relics and additional tombs are engaging to find them all at least for me, I wanted to find all of them even if the GPS caches were hard in some areas to see! I can't really fault the game, other than the fact it's too short, you can complete…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Despite its age, the game is still very much relevant and I really enjoyed my time with it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I first played Tomb Raider on an Xbox 360 when it launched. I don't remember if I ever reached 100% completion, but I came pretty close and hadn't touched the game ever since. Recently, though, I decided to replay it after getting the urge to go through the entire Survivor Trilogy. While I really enjoyed revisiting it, Tomb Raider is definitely a product of its time. The game is visually stunning, with gorgeous environments and an impressive variety of locations considering everything takes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Perfect start for the reboot and the model of lara looks one of the best we've seen so far in this game.I really enjoyed the gameplay as well and I must say this is an definitive tomb Raider experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider was sitting in my library for quite a while. I got it back when it was free on Steam, but I never touched it. Then, some time ago, I grabbed the whole trilogy bundle because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone a bit and try something different from what I usually play. And well… here it is: Tomb Raider. And wow, what a surprise. For a game released in 2013, it looks stupidly good. The visuals are beautiful, the atmosphere is amazing, and honestly, even someone like me who…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8.7/10 After more than a decade, revisiting this game still reveals its enduring charm. While viewed through today's lens, it retains some obvious flaws and immaturity as an action-adventure title, its role as the reboot of the Tomb Raider series remains commendable. It astonished many players, myself included, back in 2013. First, the strengths. The game primarily follows a level-based structure, unlocking new map areas as the story progresses. While it allows players to freely revisit and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TR 2013 is actually a pretty solid reboot, but it’s got some massive issues. The gameplay is the best part. The combat feels smooth, the bow is satisfying, and the action is constant. It looks great and the set pieces are huge, making it a fun ride from start to finish. But the story is a mess. It has the worst ludonarrative dissonance I’ve ever seen. One second Lara is crying over a deer, and the next she’s a cold-blooded killing machine stacking bodies like she’s the Punisher. It makes no…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider (2013) is a cinematic reboot that aims to redefine Lara Croft’s origins, focusing heavily on storytelling and character development, though not always successfully. I’ll start by saying I don’t really have much history with the franchise. The only real exposure I had before this was getting completely stuck in Tomb Raider: Underworld as a teenager, specifically in that room with the giant octopus, and dropping it shortly after. So I can’t really judge how this entry stacks up…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU PLAY THIS GAME! I would Highly recommend that you turn the vsync on or play at set 60 fps because the game breaks on higher frames. when i say breaks i mean it breaks, there is a cave section where a box should drop infront of a climbable wall but with higher fps it will glitch into the wall making it impossible to progress, especially if you've saved after doing the box riddle. There are no save files online that one can download the progress after that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I first played it in 2014 on a 1st-gen Intel i3 with Intel HD Graphics at 800×600, and it was fun even then. I returned to it 12 years later, and it’s still an amazing game. Graphics look really good, and the optimization is well done. There’s nonstop action, with some cutscenes and occasional stealth sections. The game doesn’t overstay its welcome, doesn’t involve any grinding or backtracking, and keeps things interesting and fresh.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →excellent simulator of killing an infinite amount of men on an island. the game is insanely easy even on hard mode and the story is super basic and cliche - but somehow i’ve beaten it 3 times already. good reboot for Lara Croft super smooth onboarding, amazing level design, sound design and weapon progression. the puzzles and tombs are interesting too. horrible QTEs, who the hell puts the hotkey at the bottom of the screen while the actual action is happening in the middle?? still love this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider gave us a pretty fantastic origin story and it draws you in from the very beginning. Watching Lara grow into a hardened survivor throughout her journey was incredibly powerful to experience. It's a must play if you grew up playing Tomb Raider and are a fan of the series. The story hits all the marks for an incredible action adventure...right up there with an Indiana Jones movie. The graphics are still look amazing thirteen years later. The environments were well polished + all the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well it was a great action cinematic game and good entry to the reboot trilogy. One thing is that it is called tomb raider but in the game you almost raid no tombs since they all are optional and are not involved in the story it self. The optional tombs are stupidly easy as if they were meant for toddlers. The camera angels and movements during the cutseens were off like really bad. How ever the gameplay it self was truly great and I enjoyed it alot. The story itself was good too not that great…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider: Rookie to Badass in 5 This reboot speedruns Lara Croft’s character development like it’s on New Game+. She starts as a panicking rookie archaeologist, barely holding a torch without trembling, then five minutes later she’s committing war crimes against trained mercenaries with Olympic-level confidence. Therapy skipped. Survival instincts maxed out. The game looks fantastic, sounds even better, and the “origin story” really wants to feel deep while Lara is out here inventing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was a wonderful and exciting trip; I enjoyed every moment.Great start And the ending was not bad, it was wonderful ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 8/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We all wish that we could forget about the game just to play it again. Well for me this game was just that. I had completely forgotten about the story and the combat system and how absolute distructive this game was. From the stealth, to the hand to hand, to the guns we have. Obviously i knew about the bow and the climbing/parkour. AND OBVIOUSLY the character herself. For a 2013 game graphic still holds but its not perfect according to todays standard. very limited gameplay control…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I genuinely loved every minute of this game. From the very beginning it pulls you into its world and does not let go. The story is amazing and emotional, and it feels personal in a way that makes you really care about what is happening. Watching the main character grow and become stronger throughout the journey is incredibly satisfying and makes the whole experience even more powerful. The graphics are absolutely beautiful. The environments feel alive, the weather effects add so much…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is absolutly goated. I have never played the og Tomb Raider games and this is my first one. Hearing a lot of praise about this game I bought it, and i swear to god im glad i did. I personally do not like games which are lengthy, lot of exploration, etc but When i started playing it even i didn't realize i played for 4 hours in one sitting. The gameplay, is absolutely top notch, i personally think as a kbm player its difficult to play such games on a keyboard but i didn't really think…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ended up buying the bundle. I thought this game would feel outdated but turns out its still great
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself wouldn't be so bad, the gameplay is fun. BUT.. it's riddled with game breaking bugs forcing you to reload your save and sometimes if it autosaves you're f*cked for good. From the start, if you pick up arrows before you grab the bow (you find arrows before the bow!!) you can no longer trigger the animation of grabbing the bow... there's even a moment in the game where, if you don't have v-sync enabled, a puzzle is bugged and you cant continue. If you make the mistake of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider --- 100% Complete A fun and rewarding game to complete. The story keeps you hooked, exploration feels good, and combat stays enjoyable till the end. Collectibles take some time, but finishing everything feels worth it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider is a thrilling reboot that redefines Lara Croft’s origin story with intense action, cinematic storytelling, and stunning visuals. The mix of exploration, puzzles, and survival combat keeps gameplay engaging from start to finish. Lara’s character development adds real emotional depth to the adventure.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →8.7/10 I beat this game in 2013 when it first came out. I have since collected all 3 of the reboot games on steam and played Rise and Shadow on steam. Now years later, I was playing "Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy" last night and it so reminded how much I enjoyed these games, I thought 'why not re-install the first Tomb Raider reboot and play it again after all these years?' I grabbed a 2k upscale texture mod and installed it and now i'm going to enjoy me some LARA!! Fun Fact: I benchmarked this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this franchise in the opposite order, so I basically started with the newest game and worked my way back to the oldest. I expected this one to be my least favorite, but lord I was so wrong.. There's just something about this game that stands out more than the others T_T lara i lovee u , you came a long way
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider is one of the best reboots ever made, mainly because of how well it develops Lara Croft from a vulnerable and inexperienced survivor into a strong and determined character. The lore surrounding Yamatai Island is incredibly immersive, mixing mystery, survival, and supernatural elements in a way that keeps the story engaging throughout the entire game. The gameplay also stays fresh thanks to its variety of combat, exploration, stealth, platforming, and cinematic interactive moments…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider holds up really well for a game that came out thirteen years ago. As someone new to the franchise who hasn't played the original games, this title provides a strong standalone experience. This game is the first entry of the survivor trilogy, and follows the journey of Lara and her crew as they explore the lost kingdom of Yamatai. The voice acting and cutscenes are very well-directed so it feels like you're playing through a movie at times. While the quicktime events do get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lara croft in this game might be the most tortured protagonist in the video game history 9/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all The game looks very beautiful for a game from 2013, Combat is just good enough, movement is very annoying and feels way off. The platforming and puzzle part is good not as good as maybe anniversary, however the cinematic moments and atmospheric sfx are great. the characters and story is also good enough. an 8/10 game for me
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After many long years and a few attempts, I finally finished this game. Tomb Raider has aged well and honestly ran great on my Steamdeck. The cinematics are well done with the quick reaction button interactions but seem to taper off later in the game which seemed to be the style at the time for these type of adventure games. The story is a fun one and set up the "remake" of Tomb Raider well. My only gripes overall would be the collectibles and what makes you feel like the need to try to grab…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been playing Tomb Raider since I was 8 years old, and for as long as I can remember, Lara Croft has been one of my favorite characters in gaming. My love for the franchise grew even stronger thanks to Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Lara in the movies. Seeing such a strong, intelligent, and adventurous character on screen and in games made me a fan for life. When Tomb Raider (2013) was announced, I was both excited and nervous. Rebooting such an iconic series is never easy, especially…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The TR2013 Steam store page has been updated today! The game is now listed as "Tomb Raider Game of the Year" & the assets have been updated as well! However, it still appears as "Tomb Raider" in the library for now. (Obviously, no content updates have been made). Source: x.com/Okami13_/sta...
unlabelledView post →Lara Croft is not someone I’d argue with not because I agree, but because she’d 100% fold me into the environment and keep moving like nothing happened. 10/10 would politely agree with everything she says. Great game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is honestly fantastic. I wish I could wipe my memory of my first run just to experience everything again from the start. The replay value is great too, so if you're planning to go for the platinum trophy or try the online mode, it's definitely worth it. The story is really engaging and the gameplay feels smooth and well polished. It reminds me a bit of the gameplay from Uncharted 1 and 2, but compared to the first game, this one feels much more refined overall. If you enjoy completing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Replaying it after years, Tomb Raider (2013) is still a great game. It’s a reboot made with attention to detail and care. There are some weird design choices, but it’s still a really fun game. After the useless 2021 update, you may experience some annoying bugs. Downgrading the game through the beta options fixes this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just replayed it for the first time since release. More of the TPS than exploration adventure, but the action is good and setpieces are fun. Still looks good and holds up well.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →【ENGLISH VERSION】 This is where my dream started—and where the new Tomb Raider Lara began. I played it as a kid when I first learned how to pirate games, and it blew me away (still does). Later I finally bought it and replayed the legit version. I've beaten it many times, but never played the originals. Lara is still gorgeous! And she still destroys every ancient site she walks through. XD This time I noticed stuff I missed before, like full conversations with each crew member. Graphics are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Story 7.5/10 The story was decent but nothing special. It didn't leave me with a deep emotional feeling after finishing the game. It's basically a classic Tomb Raider adventure about treasure, ancient mysteries, and lost history. Unfortunately it lacks the emotional moments that really make you connect with the characters. The plot is very straightforward and predictable, with no major plot twists that surprised me. The side characters also felt pretty bland. The only one I really liked was…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I finally got around to playing this game, and I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I was expecting it to be of a lower quality - given it is now 13 years old! Even though the game is that old, it still looks great and has a really immersive atmosphere. There were plenty of moments that had me hooked and wanting to see what happened next. Overall, I had a great time with it and can definitely see why so many people enjoyed it too. If you're into the other Tomb Raider games,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →honestly, a very fun and enjoyable game. You can see the love they put into it. Awesome game for the Steamdeck, runs flawlessly.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tomb Raider is such well known classic it doesn't even need an introduction anymore. So how did this game manage to hold up after this many years? Well, lore is simple, but entertaining, exploration is quite satisfying, I had a lot of fun completing achievements in single player. With dlc I got some Lara skins and mostly I did use dirty one. This is something that bothered me quite much - Lara never gets dirty. Swimming through mud? Perfect make-up. Swimming through blood? Doesn't matter,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game was a 9/10, this rating only because of the controls, i didn't like em'. Rest assured this is an absolute banger. "A SURVIVOR IS BORN"
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game itself is fantastic, the story pulls you in and the combat feels great, but some things just do not work the way they should. Play it, love it, just lower your expectations for the PC version to function like a finished product.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has some good stuff going for it, with fun combat and visually impressive set pieces. As a tomb raider game, though, I don't understand why it is so well rated. The core mechanics are solid. There are are some decent puzzles, but they are few and far between. The combat is good, and the level design is decent as well. The survival mechanics (hunting animals) feel entirely pointless and can basically be skipped with no consequences, but they don't detract from the game. What does…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Braindead game with absolutely no challenge or depth. 5% of the game has "fun content" which is the TPS combat section, and even these are weak if you compare them to any good action game (any PS2 classics beat this game) 95% is filler content, assisted plateforming with no actual gameplay (some of the platforming section are just cinematics, or have this lame "press forward to win" gameplay). Exploration consist of picking up countless barely hidden useless items. And the puzzles are…
