In exploring the island, the player may find evidence that—among others—Portuguese traders, United States Marines, and a Japanese military project were all stranded on Yamatai at diverse points throughout history. At the showtime of the game, the island is populated exclusively by the Solarii Alliance, a vehement cult of criminals, mercenaries, and shipwreck survivors. The Solarii Brotherhood has established its own society based on the worship of Himiko, complete with a social structure and laws, with their exact purpose and intentions being explored throughout the story.

The player takes on the role of Lara Croft, a immature and ambitious archæology graduate whose theories on the location of the lost kingdom of Yamatai take convinced the Nishimura family unit—descendants from the people of Yamatai themselves—to fund an trek in search of the kingdom. The expedition is led by Dr. James Whitman, a glory archeologist who has fallen on difficult times and is desperate to avert bankruptcy, and is accompanied by Conrad Roth, a Purple Marine turned adventurer and close friend of the Croft family unit who serves as mentor to Lara; Samantha "Sam" Nishimura, Lara's friend and a representative of the Nishimura family who films the expedition for a documentary; Joslyn Reyes, a skeptical and temperamental mechanic and single mother; Jonah Maiava, an imposing and placid fisherman who is willing to believe in the existence of the paranormal and esoteric; Angus "Grim" Grimaldi, the gruff Glaswegian helmsman of the Endurance; and Alex Weiss, a goofy and bespectacled electronics specialist.

Reception [edit]

Tomb Raider received generally positive reviews upon release. In a 'world exclusive' review, GamesMaster magazine gave the game a score of xc%, likewise as the "GamesMaster Gold laurels" (awarded to games that manage a score of xc% or above). The editor regarded the quality of the visuals, the length and depth of the gameplay, and the "spectacular" last third of the game as the highlights. The summary said "sitting back exhausted we were left with but one question dribbling forth from our gaping jaws. How on earth are they going to top this in the sequel? Considering of one thing in that location can be no doubt. Lara is back."[94] IGN's Keza MacDonald also spoke extremely positively, stating that they felt the game was "heady" and "beautifully presented", included "not bad characterization" and "more than depth than you lot would wait". They gave the game an overall score of ix.1 out of 10, the highest score they have given a game in the serial since 1996's Tomb Raider, describing information technology equally "amazing" and concluding that the game "did justice" to both the character and franchise.[89] Ryan Taljonick of GamesRadar lauded the location's setting and environment, and expressed that "not one expanse always feels similar a rehash of some other". Taljonick too felt that the game had corking pacing, and that it is "unrivaled by whatsoever other game in the genre". Furthermore, the reviewer considered Lara'due south character development as "an integral office" of the whole game's experience, and concluded that Tomb Raider "is a fantastic game and an excellent origin story for i of gaming's original treasure seekers".[86] Australian TV show Good Game praised the game: information technology was rated 10/10 past both hosts, becoming the eighth game in the show's seven-yr run to do so.[95] Giant Bomb gave the game 4 stars out of five, stating that "Tomb Raider 's tone is somewhat at odds with its action, but the reborn Lara Croft seems primed for a successful new adventuring career".[96]

I of the major criticisms of the game stemmed from a disparity between the emotional thrust of the story and the deportment of the player, with GameTrailers' Justin Speer pointing out that while the story attempted to characterise Lara Croft as vulnerable and uncomfortable with killing, the actor was encouraged to engage enemies aggressively and utilise barbarous tactics to earn more experience points. Speer felt that this paradoxical approach ultimately let the game down as it undermined Lara's character to the bespeak where he found it difficult to identify with her at all.[87] IGN's Keza MacDonald also highlighted the outcome, but was less critical of information technology than Speer, pointing out that both Lara and the player had to adapt quickly to killing in society to survive.[89] All the same, Game Informer 's Matt Miller noted that the game offered the actor several options for progressing through its combat situations, and that the player could avert open up conflict entirely if they chose to exercise and so.[84] He also praised the behaviour and presence of the enemies for the way they felt similar they had actual tasks to perform on the island, rather than being clusters of polygons whose only function was to exist killed by the player in club for them to progress. While on the subject of character evolution, GamesRadar'southward Ryan Taljonick expressed that the supporting characters were underdeveloped relative to Lara Croft, describing them equally "pretty generic characters who, while rarely abrasive, but aren't memorable".[86]

While many reviews applauded the unmarried-player campaign, the multiplayer manner bore the brunt of the game's criticism, with MacDonald, Speer and Miller all finding fault with it, describing it equally lackluster and stating that the difference between the programmer's vision for the game mode and the finished product fabricated it difficult to enjoy.[84] [87] [89]

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition received positive reviews. Game Informer 'southward Matt Helgeson considered the updated graphics at native 1080p resolution as a skillful addition to the core Tomb Raider experience. He cited some differences in graphics between the two versions and noted a bit smoother frame-rate on the PS4 version.[97] The Escapist's Jim Sterling was less receptive to the Definitive Edition; they praised the visual improvements, but felt that nominal content additions to the single-player feel and the game'due south price point made it difficult to recommend to players outside of those who had not played the original version.[98] GameZone 's Matt Liebl gave Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition a ix/10, stating "Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition was my first fourth dimension playing Crystal Dynamics' reboot, and then I tin can definitely recommend it for newcomers. Equally for whether or not it's worth paying full price for the same game with upgraded graphics, well that's something you need to make up one's mind."[99]

Prior to the game's release, news of an attempted rape plot element drew ire and led to multiple op-ed pieces.[100] A developer interview described an early cutscene as an attempted "rape" that proves formative in Croft's genesis story,[101] only the programmer later reiterated that sexual assault was not a theme of the game and that the executive producer had misspoken.[100] Sexual assault and women had already been a volatile topic in games journalism.[102] Tomb Raider 'due south atomic number 82 writer later reflected that the controversy was the result of misinformation.[103]
