Like its predecessor, "Rise of the Tomb Raider" allows players to use brute force or stealth in most situations. Thankfully, the doing of dirt is appropriately intense, as Lara is one woman going up against a paramilitary force in the harsh Siberian wilderness. "Rise of the Tomb Raider" is still an action game at heart, so every now and then you'll have to do some dirt. Those mechanics are slim enough to not be a burden, and resources are abundant enough that you don't need to be obsessive about picking them up. There are also light wilderness survival elements, as Lara can collect resources to upgrade her gear and craft ammo. Some of its most exciting moments came not from huge gunfights, but from randomly being attacked by a huge bear while searching for hidden treasure in the Siberian mountains. It's pretty cozy and constrained as far as video game open worlds go, but it's so nice to occasionally be able to get off the rollercoaster and hang out in the wilderness. Campsites act as checkpoints along the way, but you can fast travel between any campsite you've found, which is often necessary given that some secret areas are inaccessible until you've found an upgrade later in the game. Though its story moves at a brisk enough pace, there's a ton of built-in downtime for you to use if you want. "Rise of the Tomb Raider" takes Lara Croft from one explorable area (featuring optional animals to hunt, tombs to raid and treasures to find) to the next, often using exhilarating action sequences as transitions. "Uncharted 4" had a few open-ended sequences, but overall it's extremely linear in service of being like a playable action movie. In practice, that comparison is unfair because the two series are vastly different in design.
On paper, both of them are third-person action games about exploring ancient ruins in the search for treasure, knowledge or both. The easiest point of comparison for the "Tomb Raider" reboot series is "Uncharted," based on the two sharing similar premises. Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
