Lara Croft may just be getting some stiff competition.

What, is Tomb Raider getting another release around the same time?

Though we get stuff like the above, so I'm all for competition.

No but Chloe gives her a run for the money regardless. I think I still prefer Lara more overall though, if the game's design and theme is well realized. I haven't played the latest but they kinda dropped the ball with the reboot.

Kinda too pricey for me. Getting the Deluxe edition might actually be cheaper.

Anything Uncharted is an instant buy for me. But I can't help be disappointed. I want a Charlie Cutter spin off. He was one of the best things about Uncharted 3.

Meh, can't say I enjoyed the Uncharted series that much, I thought Rise of the Tomb Raider was a better game than all of them. So I'll pass.

Is it considerably better than the Tomb Reboot? That one started off enjoyable with the different gameplay mechanics but the formula wore thin about half way through for me. It didn't help that the story and most characters are something you'd find on a B-movie cutting room floor. The torture porn also got old pretty quickly. I get that they were trying to make Lara more vulnerable, but when she takes more beatings than Schwarzenegger and Stallone did combined throughout the 80's, it's a tough pill to swallow. It doesn't help when the screen is full of "HEADSHOT BONUS!!", "BRUTAL KILL", etc. icons while your mowing down hordes of fools.

It does seem like the tone is a bit more grounded in Rise though, along with having better production values. If the gameplay formula is tightened up and refined I'd probably pick it up on a rainy day.

Oh yes, I had a hard time playing the Tomb Raider reboot as well, never finished it. You should definitely give the second game a go when you can.
