Ok, got an email from Square Enix to tell me that payment for the Collector's edition has been taken...I was like, I did? I had totally forgot I pre-ordered this ! That's not the worst part. I had sent it to work and the box is Enormous !!!!

I ordered that too - looks a cool special edition!

Loved this when i played it at egx, so immediately preordered
But the announcement of that stupid season pass, i have cancelled it and will wait till the game is cheaper

A couple of tombs and some more weapons? Never cared for seasons pass and probably never will.

I'm a hardcore Tomb Raider fan. I went straight for the Digital Deluxe version

Seanoog · 5 Nov 2015 at 14:09

Pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe version.

Not the best value game, but I know I will get weeks of fun from it.

Got the PC 2013 version for £3.75, soon after release and fell in love with it instantly.
Also got the free GOG version on xone.
Must have completed both, 6+ times too 100%. So can't say I ain't got my moneys worth.

Pre ordered this with Simply Games earlier in the week!

Loved this first one on 360 and brought the remastered version for Xbox One on release.

If its better than the first were in for a great game!

I've just been to game and I see the release date is now the 13th. It was supposed to be the 10th? I had a chat with a member of staff and he confirmed...maybe to not conflict with Fallout 4? Amazon are also saying the 13th now.

Either way that's a bit of a bummer, but I guess F4 will have to do for now!

ElliorR · 6 Nov 2015 at 15:03

I loved the previous TR and am looking forward to this one but the fact they used the PS4 version in those videos, considering its out on XBONE first for a while, means I'll buy this once I've seen reviews.

Royal Fleet · 9 Nov 2015 at 08:45

Well all of the reviews I have seen this morning are reflective of this one - and therefore generally range from very good to bordering on excellent.

IGN Review

Roll on Friday.

ScarySquirrel · 9 Nov 2015 at 09:05

Why does this have to come out on the same day as Fallout!!! I've still got Syndicate to finish as well!

ricky1981 · 9 Nov 2015 at 09:16

All the reviews seem to say it's more of the same with a few improvements but slightly weaker story. I'll be picking it up on day 1 as I enjoyed the first game even more than all of the Uncharted series bar the second one so it should be ~20 hours of good fun!

Cant wait

n111ck · 9 Nov 2015 at 09:50

Eurogamer disagrees - sounds meh, just more of the same - def wait for cheap PC version.

I'll take that all day long as the last game was superb

Mr Men · 9 Nov 2015 at 10:03

peahead · 9 Nov 2015 at 10:05

Agreed - was expecting as much - CD have wasted the franchise.

Really?

The last game was incredible and the majority agree. Certainly better than the old format Tomb Raider that became stale after the first three games

Incredible?? Where were the puzzles, tombs and exploring? It was good as a linear shooter but NOT as a Tomb Raider sequel.

Is there any word on auto-aiming being available in this one? I know you could do so on easy level in the first and I hope its in there again.

I just absolutely cannot for the life of me manually aim in these games unless its a PC version with mouse and keyboard controls.
