Once you begin to get the hang of it, that’s when the game begins to feel less immersive. You’ll have to craft items, weapons and upgrade your skills. The evolution of Lara Croft doesn’t suddenly happen like a gift from the gods. Freezing to death, stepping into traps, falling from heights and starving are a few other ways to see your journey cut short.Įventually though, the game begins to offer ways to fight back. Watching a wolf tear and claw through an innocent girl is not a nice sight to behold.
However, if you fail at any point, Lara will go through some tough struggles for the sake of her own survival. If you do everything right, you get to watch Lara barely survive the ordeals she has to face on Yamatai.
Unlike previous Tomb Raider games, you aren’t an untouchable badass at the start.
