Tomb Raider II Remake Review

====================================================================================

It's been over two decades since Core Design first released the classic action-adventure platformer, Tomb Raider II, and now Eidos Interactive brings back this nostalgic blast from the past with a fresh new coat of paint - literally. The remake was developed using Unreal Engine 4, bringing graphically stunning environments that are sure to transport you right back into the world of Lara Croft.

Gameplay-wise, not much has changed since we last saw Tomb Raider II on store shelves in '97. You still control our intrepid heroine as she navigates through ancient temples and underground caverns, avoiding deadly traps while collecting all sorts of useful items along the way - think health packs, ammo clips etcetera... The controls feel very similar to those found within other modern-day action-adventure games like Uncharted or even more recently released titles such as God Of War (2018). However, this may not necessarily be a bad thing; after all who didn't love sprinting down narrow corridors avoiding falling rocks while simultaneously ducking behind pillars firing shotguns at hordes of angry cultists back in the day?

The story itself remains largely faithful to its original counterpart - you play as Lara Croft once again as she searches for an artifact known simply 'Dagger Of Xian'. This mythical sword was said to have belonged originally to none other than Emperor Qin Shihuang himself during ancient times when China ruled under his iron fist. According to legend, if anyone were able get their hands on this powerful relic then they would gain control over all armies across the land!

Overall though, Tomb Raider II Remake feels more like an homage rather than anything truly groundbreaking or innovative in terms of gameplay mechanics or story telling techniques employed here today compared against other modern action-adventure titles currently available within marketplaces such as Steam and Xbox Store etcetera... That being said if you're a die-hard fan looking for some nostalgic fun then maybe give this remake a try? Just don't expect too much else beyond what we've already seen before elsewhere!

Rating: 4/10
