Review

Definitive Edition gives the best version of an already strong campaign. Stealth is reliable thanks to mud camo and canopy tools, and gunfights hit harder once you invest in bow and SMG upgrades. Tombs are the highlight, with layered mechanics that read cleanly and reward observation over trial and error. The city hubs slow the pace in a good way, letting you pick side threads before pushing the main story.
The opening hours feel familiar if you’ve played the previous two games, and performance can dip during heavy alpha effects unless you trim settings. Otherwise, this is the version to run.
Verdict: polished, puzzle‑forward Tomb Raider with the right extras baked in.
