Coming from Far Cry: this is a great game

User Rating: 9 | Tomb Raider PC

I bought Tomb Raider as a getaway from the Far Cry series which I have enjoyed a lot. Far Cry 4 is my favourite, but I was disappointed by Far Cry Primal. Tomb Raider did not disappoint me. In comparison, Tomb Raider is less open (you do not have as much of the "I can go everywhere" feeling), at times more fast paced, has more puzzle-like situations and is less frustrating (there is not so much "doing the same thing over and over again). Above all, combat works really well and coming from Far Cry, it is really easy to adapt. The Lara Croft character is likeable (another positive difference from the Far Cry series) and shows emotions and vulnerability which gets you involved in the story.
