On this episode of First Impressions, I take a look at the Crystal Dynamics reboot of the long running Tomb Raider series. The game centers on a young and inexperienced Lara as she and the rest of the people aboard the ship Endurance struggle to survive after shipwrecking on a mysterious island in the Dragon's Triangle, with similar ship and plane destroying properties to the Bermuda Triangle. The island also happens to be the lost Japanese kingdom of Yamatai that Lara and her team were searching for. The game has a survival theme to it, but there are times when it feels like Uncharted, and others still that feel a bit more like a Metroidvania game. However it certainly isn't as open world as the developers have tried to make it sound prior to release. Still, it's a pretty enjoyable game that manages the task of turning Lara Croft into a likeable character, with actual character development, something that's entirely new to the series.
