Game Description:
At last year's E3 gaming conference, the sequel to the famous game, Tomb Rider, was announced. It was from this conference that the developers of the presented game began to gradually provide the fans with some information about the gameplay. Moreover, several screenshots of the gameplay appeared, and it was impossible to find any videos on the network. It should be noted that it was the E3 2014 exhibitions that the creators of Rise of the Tomb Raider were waiting for - this is a great way to announce the game. During the conference, a Microsoft employee tested the game’s gameplay. Of course, you can find fault with the gameplay endlessly - it looks too unrealistic, in particular at those moments when Lara jumps over steep rocks. The game will be at the beginning of the exclusive Xbox, but there are rumors that after some time the game will be released on PC
Gameplay:
The storyline of the new game sends the main character to Siberia and the mysterious "oasis". She has to enter into a confrontation with a mysterious organization calling itself “Trinity”. In addition to bipedal, Lara will also have to fight with animals, including bears. During the gameplay, Lara can hunt, but it should be borne in mind that some animals can be found only after dark, or vice versa - day. During snowstorms, animals, of course, will hide in burrows. Lara, like a real hunter, swims perfectly under water, is treated with all kinds of herbs and roots, makes arrows and much more. Drizzle and fog will impair visibility not only to the main character, but also to her opponents. To create equipment, Lara will collect a variety of resources, from which, in addition to the above, she will be able to construct traps, bows and much more - up to Molotov cocktails. The battle system is built on tactical maneuvers (you need to distract opponents and much more) - there are no stealth action elements.
Compared to previous parts of the game, the number and complexity of puzzles is increasing. Noah Hughes, creative director of the project, said that the creators of the game decided to provide players with a lot of tests and tasks that can be solved by interacting with various elements of the system. Solving puzzles will not be quick, but after performing a certain combination of actions, you can reach the final, says Hughes. Among the numerous tasks, decryptions of mysterious inscriptions will also be encountered. Some puzzles are the same as in the previous series. It is worth saying that the creators of the game perfectly combined puzzles and realistic surroundings. The world of Rise of the Tomb Raider consists of locations that are several times larger than in the previous part of the game.
Story line:
The game will take place after the completion of the story, which is described in the Tomb Raider comics (in particular - The Ten Thousand Immortals). In the comics, the main character is looking for a mysterious artifact that will heal Sam, who is dying of toxins. After Lara visited Yamata, she decided to go in search of Kitezh - the so-called Russian Atlantis. Together with Mayava Jonah, Lara Croft will travel through snowy Siberia in search of a mythical city in which she is going to find the secret of youth and eternal life.
The presented part of Tomb Raider is an excellent adventure game made in the genre of survival-action. Lara Croft, as before, will plunder other people's tombs, and will also try to find a path to endless life. Users are waiting for high-quality episodes, the action of which will take place in incredibly beautiful, but at the same time dangerous places on our planet. Fans will see a new part of the legendary adventure game on November 10th. It is known that initially Rise of the Tomb Raider will be presented for the Xbox One consoles.
