Rise of the Tomb Raider
is a game that’s chock full of adventure, climbing, gun fights,
stealth, and – most importantly – tombs. Earlier this month, we got to
play through one of the first tombs in the new game, and witness heroine
Lara Croft’s return to what made her one of our favorite heroes in all
of gaming.
Our demo opened with Lara in Syria, looking for the fabled tomb of an
ancient prophet. It’s a scene that takes place before the snowy
adventures you may have seen in previous Rise of the Tomb Raider demos
and trailers. After a brutal car crash, followed by an explosion, then a
fall off a cliff, Lara found herself right near the entrance to the
tomb. So, yeah – in case you thought Rise of the Tomb Raider was going to give Lara Croft a break this time... nope!
