Jumping forward a few years and in an exploration trip gone wrong, her expedition team all perished including her best friend Amanda. A few flashbacks later and we find out that she lost her mum when she was little to a supernatural event resulting from an artifact. The plot stars Lara Croft, an archaeologist. The aim is to solve the puzzles within and search out all the secrets that are hiding some collectibles. There is an additional level called Croft Manor which has no enemies. The music is appropriate and quite epic at times. Level designs are excellent and the numerous set pieces enhance the story being told. Lara will go from the jungles of Ghana to the skyscrapers of Tokyo. Each level is set in a different part of the world and provides a great sense of variety. There are time trials for each level, and once you're familiar with the puzzles, you can easily finish the game within 2 hours. There are eight levels in total and you're able to easily finish the game within 7-12 hours. Scattered around the levels are plenty of collectibles but some are hidden quite well. It knows its strengths are the platforming and puzzle solving. There is plenty of combat but not enough for it to get stale or be tedious. The great thing about this game is that it doesn't get bogged down by combat (unlike Prince of Persia where combat is weak but you're forced to repeatedly go into fights again and again). Lara can take weapons from defeated enemies although these weapons have limited ammo, her own pistols on the other hand have unlimited ammo. Dying via dropping from height or losing all your health puts you back at the last checkpoint which is evenly spaced. You still need to constantly move and jump around to avoid gunfire. Her default weapons are dual pistols and the game uses an auto-targeting system which works well. Lara will encounter enemies throughout it all, mostly being mercenaries but you'll be facing non-humans as well. Other gimmicks during levels include traps and obstacles, quick time events and vehicular segments. A lot of the puzzles require you to find some way to the lever or button and make it stay in place. For example, an early one requires you to pull blocks onto a seesaw type contraption, and then have Lara jump on one end in order to flip the block onto a higher level. During exploration, Lara will come across puzzles from time to time and they start off simple although the solutions are quite clever. She has a few tools at her disposal, including a grappling hook to pull down objects from afar, her own light source for dark places, a set of binoculars which doubles up as a hint system and health packs to restore health. Starring Lara Croft, she is able to climb ledges, swing from ropes, shimmy along ledges and climb chains. The game is an action platformer with a bigger emphasis on platforming.
