The tone of the story appears to be heavily influenced by Lost (stranded on a mysterious island with weird stuff going on) and a psychological horror movie. But unlike past editions, the puzzles are integrated into the story well, and don't come off as being set up by an ancient civilization whose favorite past time was apparently making puzzles for future adventurers. Tomb Raider is a great mix of stealth, puzzles and first-person shooter. It's the writers and animators of Tomb Raider that deserve the praise for conveying just how scared Lara is when she begins her adventure.Īnd now let's talk about that adventure. Unlike in previous Tomb Raider titles, she's not yet a world-class acrobat, nor is she any kind of fighter. During her escape, she falls, is badly wounded and scared as hell. Almost immediately she is abducted and wakes up hanging upside-down from a cave's ceiling among several dead bodies. The boat is shipwrecked during a storm and things go from bad to worse. The game begins with Croft on the Endurance, a boat carrying a crew of archaeologists trying to discover the lost kingdom of the Sun Queen on the island of Yamatai, and island that is part of the Dragon's Triangle near Japan. Instead, young Croft is insecure, weak and very, very afraid of the situation she's gotten herself in to. This isn't the same rich brat from earlier versions of the game, flirting with danger for kicks. Gamers play a young (late teens) Croft on her first solo outing. Similar to how Batman Begins replaced the film Batman with a gritty, stark realism, so too does Tomb Raider. Tomb Raider is a complete reboot of the series. This edition takes everything you know about Croft and throws it out of the window.
