Rise of the Tomb Raider is a 2015 action-adventure game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Microsoft Studios and Square Enix. The game is the eleventh main entry in the Tomb Raider series, the sequel to 2013's Tomb Raider, and is the second instalment in the Survivor trilogy. Its story follows Lara Croft as she ventures into Siberia in search of the legendary city of Kitezh while battling the paramilitary organization Trinity, which intends to uncover the city's promise of immortality. Lara must traverse the environment and combat enemies with firearms and stealth as she explores semi-open hubs. In these hubs she can raid challenge tombs to unlock new rewards, complete side missions, and scavenge for resources which can be used to craft useful materials.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Ayo they got Sprint and less camera shake. The game is almost better than the first one in everyway. Almost. Sure they got the better graphic, better mechanics basically everything feels great the added survival mechanics, crafting and stuff however. I thought the story was OK. Nice puzzles. Babayaga side activites and croft manor(DLC) they were really cool. one thing really like about this game is that notes(documents) are not boring cause they got voice-over. why do other games dont do this anymore? Those ffing spirit soldiers were the worst part of this game for me hands down. they are too tanky. Also i dont like the game going towards more action oriented. story felt lengthy. As writing im at 84% gonna find some few collectables and on to the next. 4.5/5

Unlike the sequel, the pacing here feels a bit more balanced between the action, crafting, and raiding tombs. The climbing and jumping can still have those typical clunky moments, but overall, it's a super solid and fun action-adventure game.
Amazing game. I had a great time playing with my daughter on Steam Deck. The overall action is very cool, also the puzzles and the platforming. Great game! And it runs great on Steam Deck. I set the graphics quality to medium and got a stable 60fps through all the game.
