Rise of the Tomb Raider is an amazing game that looks amazing, plays like a dream, and has a story that will pull you in and not let go until you are done. The base game on its own is worth your time but throw in all the content that comes with the 20 Year Celebration Edition and you can see why the game is praised so much.

The game is far slicker and more balanced than the 2013 reboot. The smart trade-off between rollicking action and exploration makes for a cohesive, confident and satisfying adventure. The game's title is apt.

Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration is a thrilling adventure game that brings Lara back in top form. The addition of an upgrade system is nice, but not complemented by other features. The desire to upgrade and find collectibles leads to backtracking and brings the world to life. The enormous attention to detail in animation and presentation, along with Camilla Luddington's voice acting, keeps the player focused on the screen. The action gameplay is similar to the 2012 reboot, with good shooting and platforming mechanics. The story is vague and not to be spoiled, but the point is that the player is Lara, there are enemies, and the setting is adventurous.

Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration on PS4 is absolutely worth picking up if you haven’t played through Lara Croft’s latest adventure yet. The game is a packed, enthralling adventure that raises the bar set by Lara’s last outing. The Blood Ties DLC adds further details and backstory to Lara's life pre-Tomb Raider and the Croft family as a whole, which deepens the understanding of Lara's character. The game also increases the emphasis on puzzle solving and exploration. However, the mandatory combat doesn't distinguish itself with challenging enemies unless you crank up the difficulty. The game has gorgeous vistas and Croft Manor is a gorgeous location to explore in first or third-person perspective. The VR experience in Blood Ties can be impressively immersive, but the Free control scheme can cause nausea. The game has replayable modes such as Lara's Nightmare and the online cooperative version of the Endurance DLC, but combat can lose its luster quickly enough.
