"This is hardly a definitive version of Tomb Raider Definitive Edition. It struggles to capture the rather distinct art direction of the original and is missing details of the later definitive release. The visual cutbacks are too large for the …"

"Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition remains a substantial title, still capable of recounting a challenging and compelling journey and offering solid gameplay despite some obvious flaws. The Switch 2 version is certainly the best for playing in 2025, but it does …"

"A good third-person shooter but a bad Tomb Raider game; that’s what Crystal Dynamics’ reboot for Lara Croft boils down to. When you ignore the inconsistencies between the story and gameplay, as well as the annoying characters and poor writing, …"

"Tomb Raider managed to come full circle with the reboot, and admittedly, with its sequels, it looped back into the ridiculousness. All bets are off in regards to the upcoming and as of yet untitled new release, but for now, …"

"The Switch 2 version of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition isn&s;t the prettiest or most visually stunning. But it&s;s a pleasant, fluid, portable, and modern version that respects the original experience and makes it accessible in a different way."
Read original review"I had way more fun than I expected with Tomb Raider, maybe it&s;s because it&s;s been a while since I played something like this, but I was able to simply appreciate everything from beginning to end. Even switching between the …"
Read original review"The best games – as works of art – delight over and over, no matter how familiar they become. With Tomb Raider, and so many other blockbusters over the last 15 years, familiarity just makes the lack of creative inspiration …"
