Rise of the Tomb Raider Review (Xbox One)

Rise of the Tomb Raider is everything I want a video game to be. That might sound rather hyperbolic, but Crystal Dynamics really couldn’t have delivered a game more tuned to my tastes. Not only is the world in Rise of the Tomb Raider one ripe for exploration, but the quest is epic, the action …

While you’ve probably already seen plenty of the charm on offer, this beautiful side-scroller deserves your attention far more than its handcrafted sensibilities might suggest. Erase the inevitable comparisons …
