After the release of the well-regarded Tomb Raider reboot back in 2013, expectations were raised substantially for Crystal Dynamics’s next installment in this beloved action-adventure franchise. Fortunately, the game meets or exceeds those expectations in nearly every way. However, since the game is a timed exclusive for the Xbox One and Xbox 360, it’s no surprise that the performance is hampered by the limited hardware upon release.

With a total of 74 reviews, the Xbox One version of the game is sitting pretty with a score of 87/100 on Metacritic. In fact, IGN liked it so much that it awarded the game with an “amazing” score of 9.3/10. Compare those numbers to the previous game’s metascore of 86/100, and IGN rating of 9.1/10, and it becomes clear that this release is a worthy follow-up.
