Part of that gathering and collecting is also killing animals for their hides and parts, so if you're not ready to shoot bunnies and deer with a bow and arrow, better prepare yourself. Nevertheless, there's plenty to gather and craft in Rise of the Tomb Raider. It's no secret the notion of crafting has become an overused mechanic in many modern games, but I think the key to making it interesting is adding a wildcard that forces the player to think about crafting in a way he or she hadn't considered before.
It's something I recommend trying out, although you're likely to unlock a skill that makes notable items glow automatically.īecause there are so many collectible resources that facilitate healing, weapon upgrades and ammo crafting, after a while the monotony of it all starts to feel like a silly chore. Luckily, you do have the option to turn that off if you want to figure all of the puzzles and resource locations yourself.
In my first five hours of play I started to feel like I had an unfair advantage because everything I needed to pay attention to was highlighted yellow whenever I used Lara's special vision mode. The same button to reload also picks up an item, so odds are you'll do one and not the other by accident - and when you're being shot at it's really frustrating. Of course, you'll need to collect resources in the world to complete the crafting of items, but they also overpopulate each area. With these items so prevalent it's almost as if Lara has infinite amounts of explosive ammo. On-the-fly crafting plays a major role in Rise of the Tomb Raider, so you're never without a few perfectly placed bottles or cans for a quick Molotov cocktail or DIY grenade. Gunplay is generously in Lara's favor, and each scenario provides you with a handful of overly convenient ways to use the environment to your advantage. If there's anything to lament, it's that occasionally the game feels too easy when played on normal difficulty. Rise's areas are multi-tiered and labyrinthine, which satisfyingly reward you as you play through and unlock new items and abilities. This speaks to the great overall level design of the game. And sometimes, part of the fun is discovering their camouflaged entrances. Thankfully, there are plenty of tombs to best in Rise. I found the last Tomb Raider much less focused on the explorational moments I came to adore in traditional titles in the series, but Rise of the Tomb Raider honors that legacy. Using a set of stealth melee attacks, a pick-axe, bow and a small ballistic arsenal, Lara must keep her head on a swivel at all times, not to mention deal with the perpetually collapsing ancient ruins all around her.
Set a year after the events of Tomb Raider, Lara Croft is chasing down a mystical entity being aggressively pursued by an evil "let's-kill-Lara-on-sight" bunch of bad guys that go by Trinity.
