I've been playing this on and off since last year. It's pretty good! I think I liked how she looked in the reboot better--there is something like in the cut scenes that don't really look right, like her face is out of proportion or something, but in actual gameplay it appears fine. They did good on this. Of course I'm running around in Siberia with a bunch of partisans trying to find a hidden tomb that the map tells me I'm right on top of but hey, if I didn't it wouldn't be Tomb Raider, right? Did you see they are making a movie of this incarnation of Tomb Raider with Alicia Vikander? New Tomb Raider MovieI dunno, I'm not real convinced of this movie version. Pretty faithful to the rebooted video game though. v6, boNes

Coot,
I know the well you are talking about, I did find that one. This other tomb is near it though, north of it. I'll have to check again to verify. I kinda gave up on it and went on to the prepare the partisans for war level.

Played it and loved it. More or less 100 percent it on PS4.
Its great but you can't really compare it to Uncharted4 though. UC4 is more of a story driven game. TR is more of a typical open world game. They are both must have games.

So how many Tomb Raider reboots are there now on ps4? 2 or 3? I need to play these, they all look great but there are so many editions out of the same game now I don't know which one to get.

Kestrel, stick with Rise of the Tomb Raider, as it took the best of the series and either toned down or got rid of the worst of it (particularly in the "rebooted" games).
First, Lara doesn't sound asthmatic or use catch phrases. Hhhuuummmpphhh Hhhhuuummmppphhhh I can do this! Hhhhuummmpphh Hhhhummmppphh got tiresome really quick in the previous "reboots."
Second, the infamous Quick Time Event is limited to very specific circumstances in combat and can be avoided. I have learned to hate QTE's, and was pleased they were gone.
Third, puzzles are fairly straight forward and have some logic to them, as are the levels. Yes, she's still a murderous psychopath, but stealth pays off in this game.
Fourth, they either fixed their camera programming or designed the levels to take it into account, but the usual blind leaps of faith that mark the series are absent.
Fifth, the cut scenes are neither overly long or ill placed. They really advance the story and give a reason for what one is doing the things one is doing.
And lastly, Lara is wearing what one would expect someone to wear. No skin tight shiny snowsuits this time around. This is both good and bad, obviously.

Yes, she's still a murderous psychopath... You are just frustrated that she isn't redheaded. Me too.

@Kestral, There's only two of the recent reboots. "Tombraider" 2013 and "Rise of the Tombraider". They both are what exists of the reboots right now. I wouldn't worry too much on which edition to get as much of the extras are just mp stuff but the stuff that is worth it to me is the extra outfits you can wear and change out during your game play. The PC and PS4 versions of Tombraider2013 graphically are on par with each other. I went with the PC version. Almost every Steam sale sells the ultimate edition of the game for 5 bucks. But if you are a PS4 only player then make sure you get the PS4 Remaster. I believe there is only on PS4 version of the first game so there's no chance of error when you go to purchase. The PS4 remasters and upgrades some of the visuals from the original PS3 version and unlocks 60 FPS. I first got it on PS4 and it ran and looked great. There were a few areas where fps dropped but overall it was consistent.
I'm pretty sure there's only two versions of "Rise of Tombraider." Same thing, I'd recommend getting whatever the special edition is as it comes with extra single player outfits and such. If you like these games get both. They are both very good. The QTE moments are not as bad as they are made out to be in the first one though there were a couple that could be annoying but really no big deal. The thing I dislike the most as I mentioned above was the camera bobbing effect in the first but I could live with it for such a fun game. In the second game they actually patched in after release and option to turn it off in the second game which was awesome of them to do. My take is get them BOTH! Both are excellent, gritty, dramatic, violent, crafting, mysteries to be discovered games. They take a little more of a realistic tone than Uncharted but they aren't too dissimilar such as platforming is great fun in both but not really truly realistic because of how light everyone jumps about and how much superhuman stamina they seem to possess. Its a game though and they both do a great job of being FUN first and foremost.

https://www.amazon.com/Tomb-Raider-Definitive-PlayStation-4/dp/B00GZ1GUSY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496758680&sr=8-1&keywords=Tombraider%2BPS4&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/Rise-Tomb-Ra...0&sr=8-2&keywords=Tombraider+PS4There's really only version of each game for the PS4 Kestral. Rise of Tombraider pulled an Xbox One exlcusive thing when it came out but eventually made its way to PS4 and PC. When it finally came over I think only the one "Anniversary" edition exists. There's really no multiple versions I don't believe. The PC version of Tombraider 2013 (first reboot game) I think uses a different hair physics engine but again visually, they are both similar and really excellent at maxed out options. The only thing I have not been able to find is good anti-aliasing for the PC version. But it sounds like you'd be after the PS4 only versions which again there is only one version of each game. I suppose if you own an Xbox One then there's the original version of Rise of Tombraider still out there that can be purchased.
