Ability
The playability of Rise of the Tomb Raider is similar to that of its predecessor (Tomb Raider). Lara Croft is the protagonist of the title and playable character of the story. In this release, new environments are added with different climatic conditions to those that Lara must face. New enemies are also added, both humans and animals. In addition, Lara must complete and solve puzzles to advance throughout the story. In doing so, Lara acquires experience and new skills that will allow her to adapt and survive the environment. When Lara completes a challenge, explores tombs, eliminates her enemies and completes missions (both main and secondary) she acquires experience to level up. Each time you level up, acquire experience points to assign a special skill to Lara in three different fields.
Like her predecessor, Lara can establish herself in a camp and use it as a checkpoint or to travel quickly from one camp to another. By doing so, the player can fabricate and modify Lara's weapons, assign skills or change their dress. An improvement regarding clothing is that each outfit has an advantage or bonus, depending on the environment in which you want to wear it.
Unlike its predecessor, Rise of the Tomb Raider allows players to create different types of ammunition for Lara, as well as manufacture kits, molotov, smoke bombs, grenades and use animal skin to reinforce the space of the arsenal. Also, the player can unlock and choose different types of weapons for Lara. In addition, Lara can get resources throughout the map and use them to improve their weapons. A novelty that can be seen in the title is that during the course of the game, the player can make ammunition and medicine without having to be in the camp.
Another notable improvement is that Lara can swim and dive into the water. This ability allows you to maneuver in the depths and eliminate enemies stealthily. In this aspect, the combat system has improved, allowing Lara to use stealth or direct attacks. Among her abilities, Lara can camouflage herself with the environment hiding in the bushes and eliminate her enemies silently. You can also climb high places to attack or avoid direct combat and go unnoticed. In addition, Lara can distract her opponents by using objects to mislead them, get their attention or neutralize them. As for the arsenal, Lara will once again have at your disposal the hunting bow, the pistol, the assault rifle, the shotgun and the ice ax. In Rise of the Tomb Raider is also added the hunting knife, which can be used to cut objects and attack melee.
In addition, another novelty of the title is that Lara can make use of the pick to open trunks, cabinets and doors. The QTE (Quick Time Event) again play an important role in the mechanics when it comes to avoiding deadly traps, dodging attacks and finishing off targets. The survival instinct also plays an important role, since the player can use it to locate targets and highlight objects. A new improvement in the game is that by progressively increasing the compression of a language, Lara can translate the content of the murals and documents as well as discover secrets in the environment
Synopsis
Due to events on the island of Yamatai, Lara is moved and at the same time anxious to understand the mystery of the immortal soul that made a great impression on her. For this reason, decides to undertake a trip to Siberia with his companion Jonah Maiava and search for the mythical city of Kitezh built by Prince Vladimir in the thirteenth century in an attempt to find answers.6
During her adventure, Lara will have to face various dangers such as wildlife, natural disasters and a secretive organization that has been in the shadows since the previous installment (La Trinidad), so that Lara will eventually become the heroine who It is meant to be.
Argument
A year after the events in Yamatai, Lara Croft tries to move forward with her life. Searching for answers, Lara returns to London to continue the investigations of her late father, Richard Croft. His father's research consisted in the search for myths and legends about the lost city of Kitezh and discover the secret of immortality. Her friend Ana tries to convince her not to waste her time on it. But Lara insists on moving forward with her goal and organizes an expedition to Syria, hoping to find the tomb of the Prophet of Constantinople, a very important figure in the search for Kítezh.
Once in Syria, Lara hires a driver to take her to the indicated coordinates. While they are in the car, she suspects that something is wrong. At that moment, a helicopter shoots them. The driver dies, the vehicle loses control and hits the pavement. Lara manages to leave alive but the explosion of the car pushes and ends up falling on a slope. Guided by the notes of his father, he begins the search for the tomb on the cliff of the border. At that moment, Lara intercepts the communications of her adversaries, who call themselves La Trinidad according to her father's notes. Apparently, they look for the same thing as her but with another sense of purpose. There he meets Konstantin, the leader of that sect, who now operates as a paramilitary organization. However, in an exchange of words, Lara snatches the detonator and detonates the charges of the structure. She manages to escape from the Trinity before the place falls apart.
Back at the Croft mansion in Surrey, Lara consults one of her father's research books to find out the meaning of the symbol that was engraved on the tomb of the Prophet. She shares her research with Jonah. According to the legend, Kítezh is located somewhere in Siberia, under the seabed and the same symbol is also present in the history of that city. He believes that the Trinity seeks the "Divine Source", an artifact that can grant the gift of immortality and that it must go to Siberia to prevent them from taking control of the artifact. But Jonah believes he is losing his mind and does not care whether the legend of Kitezh and the Divine Source is real, so he tries to convince her to abandon her investigation or not to get anywhere. He leaves the office, letting Lara think things through before moving on. When she is alone, a man enters the room and tries to kill her. But she struggles against him and resists until Jonah arrives to help her, but the subject manages to escape with the book. Now that Lara is sure that La Trinidad is behind what happened, she already knows where she should go to avoid finding the artifact. Jonah agrees to help her with her search and, together, they go to Siberia.
Once in Siberia, they must face the low temperatures of winter. Lara and Jonah climb the cold mountains to get to the other side and see the ruins of the city. But the strong storm causes the snow to move, forming an avalanche. The two separate to take cover but still get trapped by the snow. Lara regains consciousness and tries to contact Jonah. She finds out that he is okay but she tells him to go home and not find her. Due to the low temperatures, Lara is forced to seek refuge to protect herself. In the evening, he intercepts the communications of La Trinidad again. They look for the ruins of the city like her, so she decides to get going. During his tour, he discovers that La Trinidad has its base of operations in an old Soviet facility of the place. There he meets Sofia, a professional archer and member of the Remnant. Sofia does not trust Lara and warns her that he will kill her if he sees her again.
However, Lara infiltrates the base of La Trinidad to look for a prisoner that they keep there and find out what they know, but in the attempt is captured. She wakes up in a cell and realizes that Ana is also a prisoner. At that moment, Konstantin enters the room and begins to strangle Ana so that Lara reveals what she knows about the Divine Source. Consequently, Ana tells Konstantin that she knows nothing. Confused, Lara realizes that Ana works for La Trinidad. Ana tries to convince her of the reasons why La Trinidad seeks the Source but Lara refuses to listen to it. Therefore, Ana decides to keep her alive and retains her as a prisoner in the facility. There, Lara meets a man named Jacob, who is interested in helping her. Together, they decide to join forces to escape from the base. During their escape, they spy and listen to the conversation of Ana and Konstantin. Lara discovers that both are brothers and seek the Divine Source to reach eternal life. At that moment, the alarm of the installation resounds, so that Lara and Jacob separate to escape. Both meet at the old train station but a helicopter intercepts them, shooting them mercilessly. Lara tries to escape but falls into the sea, being unconscious. Fortunately, Lara survives. Jacob rescues her and takes her to a safe place. However, he wants to know why Lara seeks the Divine Source and tries to convince her to help him fight against the Trinity. But for her, her father's research is more important. Jacob leaves and tells him to rest. But she believes that Jacob knows more than he says he knows. Therefore, he decides to look for him and help him save his people, as long as he contributes something useful to his research. She manages to reach it and they enter a mine to inform the villagers that La Trinidad is going to attack them. But the mine begins to collapse due to the excavations and both are separated. Lara explores the excavations and discovers that they are, in fact, part of the lost city of Kítezh. Once he manages to leave, he finds Sofia again. She reminds him of the warning he gave her but Jacob stops her, preventing her from killing her. There he discovers that Jacob is Sofia's father. Therefore, Lara volunteers and helps the villagers prepare for battle. Once they defeat the enemy forces of the valley, Lara commits to look for the Atlas before La Trinidad, an artifact capable of showing the way to the Divine Source. Taking advantage of Ana and La Trinidad, Lara recovers the Atlas and meets Jonah, Sofia and Jacob at the Valley Observatory to find out where the Divine Fountain is. Using the map, they discover the location of Kítezh. But the discovery is interrupted by La Trinidad. Jonah tries to protect the map but is captured and kidnapped along with the Atlas. Lara takes the initiative and returns to the base of the Trinity to rescue Jonah and recover the Atlas. Meanwhile, Ana and Konstantin have already discovered the location of the lost city. Lara retrieves the map and finds Jonah. But Konstantin seriously wounds him and flees. Due to Jonah's injuries, the villagers advise Lara to take him with Jacob to save him. At the observatory, Jacob uses his power to heal Jonah and keep him stable. In this way, Lara discovers that Jacob is actually the Prophet of Constantinople, who has lived for several centuries. As he explains, Jacob came into contact with the power of the Divine Source and thanks to it has the gift of immortality. As leader of the Remnant, he has been in charge of protecting the Divine Source of outsiders for years. But this time, Jacob shows Lara the secret path to Kitezh so that, in this way, he can stop the Trinity. Lara finds the lost city and, during the course of her search, she confronts The Immortals and murders Konstantin for killing her father. She goes to the Chamber of Souls to take the Divine Source but Ana has it in her power. Jacob and Lara try to reason with her, but Ana refuses to listen to them, shoots Jacob and absorbs the power of the Source. There they are cornered by the immortal army. Lara takes away the Divine Source and destroys it, knowing that Jacob would stop being immortal. Lara tries to help him but Jacob knows that he will die without the power of the Source. She laments, saying that she wanted to change things, but he is glad that she has done the right thing and vanishes. Back at the Croft mansion, Lara listens to her father's last recording, explaining the importance of leaving his mark on the world. Consequently, she organizes her next expedition, convinced that there are still secrets that can change the world. Now that she knows the existence of the Trinity, Lara is more than determined to stop them whenever it is necessary. Jonah accompanies her on their trip and both leave the room. In the post-credit scene, after having destroyed the Divine Source, Lara and Ana are in the northeast of Siberia. Walking through the snow, Lara interrogates Ana about the death of her father. Ana tells him that the Trinity ordered her execution but she did not have the courage to kill him. In that instant, a sniper shoots him. Then he points to Lara but a mysterious voice tells him not to kill her, for now.
