everybody.<\/p>\n<p>Marvel&#8217;s superhero team get their very own blocky adventure, and PC gamers finally get their hands on Lara Croft&#8217;s latest adventure, among some other notable releases.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Rise of the Tomb Raider (PC) &#8211; January 28<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>(PC)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"

a refreshing take on the life and antics of a young Lara Croft, injecting some new blood into a somewhat dying franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Now, finally, PC gamers are getting the chance to play its sequel, <em>Rise of the Tomb Raider<\/em>, the previously Xbox One exclusive-only title.<\/p>\n<p>We saw Lara go from scared 20-something to becoming an artifact-hunting heroine in the first game.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rise of the Tomb Raider<\/em> will continue that journey, as Lara must now explore the most treacherous and remote regions of Siberia to find the secret of immortality before a ruthless organisation known as Trinity.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">LEGO Marvel\u2019s Avengers &#8211; January 29<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em><span

exception.<\/p>\n<p>Following the plots of <em>The Avengers<\/em> films and their many tie-in movies, the game incorporates hundreds of iconic characters from across the Marvel universe.<\/p>\n<p>You can also expect lots of LEGO-inspired puzzles, platforming and exploration as you play through the events of the films.<\/p>\n<p>From Sokovia to Tony Stark\u2019s Miami mansion, <em>LEGO Marvel&#8217;s Avengers<\/em> offers a new, quirky experience of what you&#8217;ve undoubtedly experienced many times over \u2014 and it&#8217;s hopefully even funnier in brick form.<\/p>\n<h3
