Overall and Final Verdict
Overall I think Tomb Raider is a good game. I love the graphics and audio, and the story was interesting enough to keep my attention. The gameplay was pretty good for the most part, but the overuse of annoying quick time events frustrated me to no end. The open world style of play was a welcome change to the franchise and I enjoyed going back to uncover artifacts that I previously didn’t have the tools to obtain. I wish there had been more puzzles directly entwined within the storyline. Sure I can go and explore the island and find the different tombs with the puzzles hidden within, but I want them force fed to me in the true Tomb Raider style. I would say that it is worth buying. I enjoy the game, and I think others will too, but I don't think it is a game of the year candidate that everyone must own.
