ROTTR has some awesome lighting effects and incredible detail, the Foundation engine Crystal Dynamics uses on this game really bring the world to life.
The facial characteristics have always been above others in Square Enix titles such as this and the earlier TR and Hitman: Absolution (Sh*tty game otherwise IMO). Well I guess great lighting and shadows in games are just really normal nowadays and I’m just terribly old. But I don’t care! It makes taking beautiful screenshots an absolute joy! 🙂
Some other points about the game besides the visuals. It’s great fun. You get about 30 hours of gameplay from it without any DLC or post-plot exploring. The plot is pretty decent with it’s own twists and turns, it keeps you interested. You also have your basic collectibles, gun parts, crafting materials, tombs to raid and crypts to explore. The gameplay is also quite well constructed although there were a handful of bugs and glitches but they rarely affected my playing in a negative way. In my opinion the fighting and shooting was better in the reboot of 2013 but other than that I’d say these two are both equally enjoyable Tomb Raider games. A warm recommend from my part.
Here are some shots I considered cool:
