Tomb Raider 2013

Its been a while since I bought an Xbox One game, the last being Rare Reply collection (£20 is such a steal for whats included), and I picked up 2 games for £20.

The first was Dishonored 1, the Definitive Edition. This was a game I missed first time around and so thought it worth a shot as the sequel is in production and the game looks like the best bits of Assassins Creed with elements of Thief and The Order 1886. Ive yet to install this, but have been instead playing the other game I bought, Tomb Raider, the 2013 game.

Now I was acutely aware that this game had very little raiding of tombs but was more of an action survival game. Having also recently started playing Far Cry Primal, I was ready for some bow and arrow action, and so far been very pleased with the Tomb Raider game.

Being a purist, I only ever enjoyed the first game. The sequels took Lara too far away from the the mission which was to raid tombs and turned her into a Jane Bond type heroine. With improved graphics this latest 2013 game really shows the dark and dank tombs she would most likely have visited in the first game. Id love to see a remake of the original with current gen hardware.
