Some areas can only be accessed with certain gear, forcing Lara to return later, if she can be bothered. Those tombs, representing this game’s best content, frequently tell their own stories, as Lara uncovers the fates of leper colonies, sunken ships, a doomed uranium mine, and more. There’s added emphasis on exploration and puzzles, with giant sandboxy areas full of secrets, collectibles, resources, and puzzle-laden tombs. Borrowing the best elements from the Arkham Asylum games, Uncharted, and the series' own history, the rebooted franchise is built around cinematic gameplay and discovery. Of course, Rise doesn’t deviate far from the Tomb Raider formula - but it’s the new, more freeform model, introduced in its 2013 predecessor. But where Uncharted’s expansive settings are merely wide corridors, Crystal Dynamics' Rise of the Tomb Raider uses its environment for much more - and that’s exemplified in this “20 Year Celebration” edition. The Uncharted series takes after Tomb Raider in many ways, its protagonist Nathan Drake often referred to as “the male Lara Croft" - amusing given that Lara was always “the female Indiana Jones.” Both Uncharted 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider are highly-polished action adventures with slick, scripted action and physical, globetrotting adventure. It feels strange, playing a new Tomb Raider scant months after Uncharted 4.
