Tomb Raider, the reboot of the Lara Croft adventure series is out now, and it’s fantastic. It’s a kind of origin story, with a Lara who starts out much more vulnerable and less assured than the original.
Don’t be fooled into thinking the PlayStation’s Uncharted has the action adventure genre sewn up. Tomb Raider is a surprisingly gritty game, that mixes the puzzles of old with visceral action sequences, plenty of gore, and a much more human Lara than we’ve seen before.
