There's hidden maps that'll help you find some less obvious little items. Lara walks around her manor home on a stormy night discovering documents that shed new light on the relationship of her parents and other such items of backstory. "Blood Ties is a well-written narrative experience that's surprisingly but also refreshingly light on the actual gameplay - it's heavy, instead, on the fan service." The entire thing is also playable in PlayStation VR if you so wish.

Though the series has been rebooted, this add-on is treated as a way to flesh out a bit of Lara's backstory.

The big new chunk of content is Blood Ties, an additional side story that takes place entirely in Croft Manor, Lara's iconic home that formed a hub of sorts in some of the classic PS1 games.Ĭroft Manor seems an appropriate place to return to for the PS4 release and the 20th anniversary of the series. There's a lot to do here, with included content old and new adding up to make for a great value package for PS4 owners. On top of all that there's some all-new content.

Manage cookie settingsĪt a basic level, this is a standard-issue Definitive Edition type package that tosses in all the additional DLC from the original Xbox One and PC release. With that said: So, what about this PS4 version, then? What's new in Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration? To see this content please enable targeting cookies. It's by no means perfect, but it's a really good action-adventure romp. I will offer a little summary: I think it's bloody excellent, and while its story presentation isn't as slick and its visuals not so much of a standard-setting stunner I will say (whisper it) that I preferred Rise to the fourth Uncharted. Pat's review from back in 2015 is fantastic and still as relevant now, so I'm not going to go on about what I think of Rise of the Tomb Raider as a base game. The Uncharted influence is still there in heady set-pieces and perhaps a few too many sequences where you hold forward and watch things collapse, explode and generally go wrong for poor Lara, but Rise of the Tomb Raider also solidifies the manner of its exploration branch of gameplay, and that alone is enough to drag you off that well-beaten and set-piece laden path and into something more interesting. "There's a lot to do here, with included content old and new adding up to make for a great value package for PS4 owners." Rise is a great game, though, and arguably the game that's allowed the rebooted Lara Croft to step out of Nathan Drake's shadow properly. I did wonder how Rise of the Tomb Raider's PS4 launch would fare at the time - once the Xbox One exclusivity was up it'd be a post-Uncharted 4 world, for instance. That's high praise indeed, and it stuck - Rise of the Tomb Raider is still well-regarded a year later. Back in November of last year Pat called Rise of the Tomb Raider "a genuine technical advancement for single-player third-person action games," and a "high achievement".

The DLC also won't be available for Xbox 360 owners.One of the advantages of a late-to-market release of a game on a particular piece of hardware is that public consensus has had some time to settle in. Whether or not the PS4 will also get the DLC remains to be seen, but it's highly unlikely. Most people are also expecting the game to release on the PlayStation 4 this fall.

I thought we would get more supernatural material like werewolves or dinosaurs this gen, but other than The Order 1886 and a few copycat clones of ARK: Survival Evolved, most companies seem to be sticking closely with the whole zombie trend.īased on the video above, it doesn't appear as if there are any new weapons, but gamers who bought the season pass for Rise of the Tomb Raider can look to get their hands on the new DLC starting in October. The zombie gimmick has been worn out pretty badly. The people in the comment section aren't entirely thrilled with the whole zombies DLC, calling it "tired" and "lame". The "Blood Ties" story in Rise of the Tomb Raider seems to center around the exploration of the Croft Manor where-as "Lara's Nightmare" seems to center around defending the manor from all manner of the walking dead. The mansion turns into a playground of destruction, with players having to guide Lara through and past all manner of different types of the undead, including Spartans, soldiers, and the typical zombie carcass.
