    Default Release date announced for pc version of rise of the tomb raider

    Square Enix has announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider will be coming to PC on January 28.

    Rise of the Tomb Raider was released in November for Xbox One and 360, but we knew that it would be coming to PC in "early 2016." It should also be coming out for PS4 in "Holiday 2016," but we don't have a firm release date for that yet.

    “The PC release of Rise of the Tomb Raider continues the positive momentum from our highly successful partnership and collaboration with Microsoft for the launch on Xbox One and Xbox 360,” said Scot Amos, co-Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics in a statement.

    The PC version of the game will be available as a digital download via Steam, the Windows 10 store, Amazon, the Square Enix e-store, and other major retailers, both in-store and online. The standard edition will cost $60, while the Digital Deluxe edition costs $90 and comes with the Season Pass.

    If you want the $150 Collector's Edition, you'll have to go to the Square Enix e-store, where you'll find the Digital Deluxe version game bundled in with a 12-inch Lara Croft statue, replicas of her journal and jade necklace, and a steel case.

    In IGN's review of Rise of the Tomb Raider, we said that it "takes its predecessor's winning formula and improves on it in every way."

    Yeah, and finished it. I enjoyed every moment with the game, but then again I'm also a TR fan so any opinions from me will be biased.

    I would play it all over again and try to get 100% completion

    How does it compare to the previous one? Was one of my favourite games.

    I'd like to give my comments on this:

    Compared to the previous version, not too much has changed. You'll get the distinct feeling that the formula is much of the same of the previous title, but the changes made are all very welcomed. There are a lot less QTE's than the previous title, and there are many more tombs to explore as well. Also, the tombs are much more lore friendly and lore rich. The "central hub" areas where focus is more set on resource gathering varies wildly from one another, and you never feel like grinding for anything at all. The story is also much better written than previously IMO

    awesome, I was hoping for this at least. Incremental improvements on a game that was amazing is good enough for me.
