General Review: Art Design (4/5) Gameplay (2/5) Story (1/5) Exploration (1/5) Survival aspect along with excessive item-gating made exploration and general gameplay quite frustrating. While art design was rather breathtaking and enthralling, the lackluster cutscenes, dialogue and general ambient lore made for a disappointing environment overall. Exploration aside from the main quests is not recommended. RAW...

Story: Rise of the Tomb Raider follows Lara Croft on her quest to discover the legendary lost city of Kitezh and the Divine Source, an artifact believed to grant eternal life and immortality...
