🌍️ Wikipedia:
Tomb Raider is an action-adventure video game developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. Tomb Raider is the tenth title in the Tomb Raider franchise, and was a reboot that emphasised the reconstructed origins of Lara Croft. Tomb Raider was released on 5 March 2013 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and on 23 January 2014 for OS X, and is scheduled for a 2016 release for Linux.
Crystal Dynamics began development of Tomb Raider soon after the release of Tomb Raider: Underworld in 2008. Rather than a sequel, the team decided to completely reboot the series, establishing the origins of Lara Croft for the second time, following Tomb Raider: Legend. Tomb Raider is set on Yamatai, an island from which Lara, who is untested and not yet the battle-hardened explorer she is in other titles in the series, must save her friends and escape while being hunted down by a malevolent cult. Gameplay elements focus more on survival, although exploration is used within the game when exploring the island and various optional tombs. It is also the first game in the series to have multiplayer and the first game to be published by Square Enix, after the latter's acquisition of Eidos Interactive in 2009. Camilla Luddington was announced to voice and perform as Lara Croft in 2010, replacing Keeley Hawes.
After a delayed release from late 2012 to March 2013, Tomb Raider received much anticipation and hype. Upon release, the game was well received, with critics praising the graphics, the gameplay, Luddington's performance as Lara, and Lara's characterization and development, although the addition of the multiplayer mode was not well received. Tomb Raider sold one million copies within 48 hours of its release, and has sold more than 8.5 million copies as of April 2015, making it the best-selling Tomb Raider title to date. An updated version, Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, was released in North America on 28 January 2014 and in Europe on 31 January 2014 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One containing all features and DLC. A sequel, Rise of the Tomb Raider, was released in November 2015.

Gameplay
Tomb Raider is presented in third-person perspective. Players take control of the series lead character Lara Croft. The game uses an interconnected hub-and-spoke model that combines action-adventure, exploration, and survival mechanics. Players can traverse between the camps and across the island using footpaths, improvised or already-available ziplines and climbable tracks. Many of the players moves are carried over from the previous games created by Crystal Dynamics, with some tweaks added, such as incorporating elements of stealth gameplay. Quick Time Events are scattered at regular intervals throughout the game, often appearing at crucial or fast-moving points in the game's plot, such as extracting a shard of metal, and escaping a collapsing cave.
The combat of the game borrows multiple elements from Naughty Dog's Uncharted series, with players having the ability to free-aim Lara's bow and the guns she salvages, engage in close-quarter combat and perform stealth kills. Players can also use Survival Instinct, an ability in which enemies, collectables and objects pivotal to environmental puzzles will be highlighted for players. The game also incorporates RPG elements: as players progress through the game, they earn experience points from performing certain actions and completing in-game challenges linked with hunting, exploring and combat: this enables players' skills and abilities to be upgraded in specific ways, such as giving her more storage capacity for arrows and ammunition. Players can also upgrade and customize weapons using salvage collected across the island. There is also a character progression mechanic in the game: better items, weapons and equipment are gained as players progress, though the appearance of most of these items is closely linked to events in the story. In addition to the main story, players can complete multiple side quests, explore the island, revisit locations, and search for challenge tombs.
Multiplayer
Alongside the single-player mode is an online multiplayer mode, which allows players to compete in several maps. In each multiplayer match, there are two enemy teams: four survivors and four scavengers, and there are three types of games for multiplayer to compete in, played in five different maps: the modes are Team Deathmatch, Private Rescue and Cry for Help. The first mode is a simple PvP combat scenario, with teams pitted against each other, and the winning team being the one to kill the opposing team in three separate matches. In the second mode, the "survivors" team must take medical supplies to a specific point on the map, while the "scavengers" must reach a certain number of kills, both within a ten-minute time limit. The third mode, Cry for Help, involves the "survivors" exploring the maps and retrieving batteries for defended radio beacons while being hunted by the "scavengers". Across all three modes, weapons and destroyable environments from the single-player campaign are carried over.
Synopsis
Setting and characters
The game is set on Yamatai, a fictional lost island in the Dragon's Triangle off the coast of Japan. The island—and the kingdom that once existed there—is shrouded in mystery, given its reputation for fearsome storms and shipwrecks that litter its coastline. Yamatai was once ruled by a queen named Himiko, known by her honorific title of "Sun Queen", who according to legend was blessed with shamanistic powers that enabled her to control the weather. Very little is known about Yamatai's history in the time since Himiko's death, other than that the island's infamy was established shortly thereafter. In exploring the island, the player may find evidence that—among others—Portuguese traders, United States Marines and a Japanese military project were all stranded on Yamatai at various points throughout history. At the start of the game, the island is populated exclusively by the Solarii Brotherhood, a violent cult of criminals, mercenaries and shipwreck survivors. The Solarii Brotherhood has established its own society based on the worship of Himiko, complete with a social structure and laws, with their exact purpose and intentions being explored over the course of the story.
The player takes on the role of Lara, who is a young and ambitious archaeology graduate whose theories on the location of the lost kingdom of Yamatai have convinced the Nishimura family—descendants from the people of Yamatai themselves—to fund an expedition in search of the kingdom. The expedition is led by Dr. James Whitman, a celebrity archaeologist who has fallen on hard times and is desperate to avoid bankruptcy, and is accompanied by Conrad Roth, a Royal Marine turned adventurer and close friend of the Croft family who serves as mentor to Lara; Samantha "Sam" Nishimura, Lara's friend and a representative of the Nishimura family who films the expedition for a documentary; Joslyn Reyes, a skeptical and temperamental mechanic and single mother; Jonah Maiava, an imposing and placid fisherman who is willing to believe in the existence of the paranormal and esoteric; Angus "Grim" Grimaldi, the gruff Glaswegian helmsman of the Endurance; and Alex Weiss, a goofy and bespectacled electronics specialist.
Plot
The game begins with Lara setting out on her first expedition aboard the ship Endurance, with the intention of finding the lost kingdom of Yamatai. By her suggestion and against Whitman's advice, the expedition ventures into the Dragon's Triangle, east of Japan. The ship is struck by a violent storm and shipwrecked, leaving the survivors stranded on an isolated island. Lara is separated from the others and captured by a strange, savage man. She manages to escape while her captor is killed as the cave collapses due to her actions.
As Lara tries to locate the other survivors, she finds more evidence that the island is inhabited, such as strange carvings, dead bodies, and animal sacrifices. She eventually finds her friend Sam and a man called Mathias, who claims to be a teacher who was shipwrecked on the island. As Sam tells Mathias the legends of Himiko, Lara passes out; when she wakes, Mathias and Sam are nowhere in sight.
When Lara regroups with the other survivors, Whitman decides to go with Lara and search for the still-missing Roth, while the rest of the group (Reyes, Jonah, Alex, and Grim) set out to find Sam and Mathias. As Lara and Whitman explore, they discover that the island's inhabitants worship Himiko, confirming that the island is Yamatai. Upon discovering a shrine erected in Himiko's name, they are captured by the islanders and taken to a settlement along with several other survivors from the Endurance. When the survivors attempt an escape, the captors turn on them. Lara is separated from Whitman and tries to hide, but is found by one of the islanders and forced to kill him. She fights off the remainder of the attackers and reunites with Roth, saving him from a wolf attack.
Lara manages to activate a radio tower and calls for help, but the plane that answers the call is struck by a freak storm, and Lara hears a mysterious voice saying "No one leaves" in Japanese. Unable to save the surviving pilots, Lara is contacted by Alex and Reyes, who reveal that Sam has been kidnapped by the islanders, a violent cult known as the Solarii Brotherhood. Lara tries to rescue her, but is stopped by Mathias, leader of the Solarii, and ordered killed: she is saved by an attack from samurai-like Oni. Escaping the ancient monastery where she is taken by the Oni, she hears from Sam that Mathias is going to put her through the "Ascension", a "fire ritual" to find the next Sun Queen that will burn her to death if it is unsuccessful.
Lara follows them to the Solarii fortress and is aided by Grim. The Solarii take Grim hostage, but he sacrifices himself so Lara can escape. With Roth's aid, Lara infiltrates the fortress and sees the ritual begin. She tries to stop the ritual, but gets captured and weapons taken. When the fires are lit, a great wind blows them out, showing Sam to be the next Sun Queen. Lara escapes again with just a bow and arrows and reunites with her friends (Reyes, Jonah, and Alex), forming a plan to rescue Sam and escape.
Aided by Whitman—who has managed to negotiate some degree of freedom with the Solarii—Lara returns to the palace to rescue Sam as Roth commandeers a helicopter to get them out. Lara succeeds, but persuades Sam to escape by land when she sees another storm gathering as the helicopter approaches. As Lara tries to force the helicopter pilot to land, they are brought down, with Lara nearly dying. Roth revives Lara, then takes a fatal blow from Mathias meant for Lara.
While mourning Roth, Lara accepts that the storms are not natural, but are somehow connected to the Sun Queen and designed to prevent anyone from leaving the island. She meets up with her friends (Reyes, Jonah, Alex, and Sam), who have evaded the Solarii long enough to secure a boat for escaping the island, provided that it can be repaired. They are joined by Whitman, who claims to have escaped, though Lara begins to suspect him of working with the cultists. Lara joins Alex in finding parts for the boat in the wreck of the Endurance. She finds Alex injured and stuck under some rubble. They come under attack by the Solarii and Alex triggers an explosion, sacrificing himself so that Lara can escape with the tools.
Finding an account of a World War II-era Japanese military and Nazi scientific expedition to the island that sought a way to harness the storms as a weapon, Lara decides to explore a coastal tomb, where she finds the remains of a samurai general who committed seppuku. It is revealed in a message he left that he led the Queen's Stormguard, the Oni that defend the monastery, and that the Queen's successor took her own life rather than receive the Sun Queen's power. Lara realizes that the Ascension is not a ceremony to crown a new queen, but rather a ritual that transfers the original Sun Queen's soul into a new body; the Sun Queen had learned to become effectively immortal by transferring her soul into a young girl's body each time she grew old. The last priestess' suicide had interrupted the ritual, and left the Queen's soul trapped in her old decaying body, and Himiko's spirit has wanted to escape that corpse ever since. Her rage is what's causing the storms on the island. As a descendant of Yamatai, Sam is a viable candidate, and Mathias plans to offer Sam as a new host in exchange for his freedom. Once the Sun Queen awakens in Sam's body, the storm will subside.
Lara returns to the survivors on the beach to find that Whitman has betrayed them, abducting Sam and handing her over to Mathias. Lara, Jonah, and Reyes give chase, heading up a river in the fixed boat to the monastery, with Lara arriving just in time to see Mathias trick Whitman into approaching and speaking to Stormguards: the Stormguards kill Whitman. After fighting her way through both the Solarii and the Stormguard, Lara arrives at the top of the monastery where Mathias is performing the Ascension ritual. Lara fights her way to the central platform, and after a struggle, shoots Mathias off the platform to his death using both his pistol and her own in her signature dual-wielding style. Despite Mathias' death, the ritual is already underway, with Himiko's soul starting to pour into Sam, but Lara then destroys Himiko's ancient remains, saving Sam and dispersing the storms.
Lara, Sam, Reyes and Jonah then leave the island and are picked up by a cargo ship: as they sail home, Lara realizes that the mythical stories her father told her were more than stories, deciding not to return home just yet, and the screen fades to white with a proclamation of "A Survivor is Born."

Synopsis
Lara Croft est une étudiante britannique de 21 ans. Elle part pour sa première expédition avec un groupe d'amis et collègues (Liam, Steph, Grim, Victor, Conrad Roth, Samantha Nishimura, Reyes, Dr. Whitman, Jonah et Alex) à bord de l’Endurance, un navire d'exploration moderne. Persuadée que le Royaume perdu de Yamatai, autrefois gouverné par la légendaire Reine solaire Himiko, se trouve quelque part dans le « Triangle du Dragon », une zone au sud du Japon connue pour ses violentes tempêtes, Lara convainc le capitaine du navire d'en prendre le cap. Mais pris dans une tempête, le bateau s'échoue sur une île où Lara est capturée par un homme fou qui la ligote dans la caverne qui lui sert de refuge. Lara se libère, provoquant l'effondrement de la caverne et la mort de son ravisseur. Seule, elle utilise les connaissances de survie en milieu naturel de son père et part à la recherche de ses amis. Sur chemin, elle comprend que l'île est habitée par une communauté qui laisse de nombreux dessins sur les murs et qui pratique le sacrifice animal. Elle retrouve finalement son amie Samantha, accompagnée d'un homme, Mathias, qui se présente comme un ancien naufragé. Lara prend du repos auprès d'eux alors que Sam raconte la légende de Himiko, mais à son réveil, ils sont partis.
Lara rejoint finalement les autres naufragés et avec le Dr Whitman, elle part à la recherche de Roth alors que les autres vont sur les traces de Sam et Mathias. Lara et Whitman finissent par découvrir un temple des habitants de l'île dédié à Himiko : ils sont bel et bien au Yamatai. Mais ils sont finalement capturés par les habitants de l'île et emmenés avec les autres survivants. Quand ils tentent de s'échapper, les habitants commencent à les massacrer. Lara s'échappe seule mais est rattrapée par Vladimir, meneur d'un groupe d'habitants qu'elle finit par tuer d'une balle dans la tête quand celui-ci s'apprêtait à l'étrangler. Lara continue alors sa route, tuant les habitants qui tentent de l'abattre, avant de retrouver Roth, blessé à la jambe dans un village abandonné des montagnes. Grâce à l'équipement de Roth, Lara pense alors à utiliser la tour radio de l'île pour lancer un S.O.S. vers l'extérieur. Elle parvient à rejoindre le sommet de la tour et contacte un avion envoyé à la recherche de l'Endurance. Mais quand l'avion repère le feu que Lara a provoqué pour se faire repérer, une mystérieuse tempête se lève et foudroie l'avion alors qu'une voix murmure « Personne ne part » en japonais. Lara tente de venir en aide aux deux pilotes mais ils sont abattus par les habitants.
Pendant ce temps, Alex et Reyes découvrent que Sam a été enlevée par les habitants de l'île, qui se font appeler les Solarii. Proche de leur repère, Lara tente de la sauver mais trouve Mathias, en fait le chef des Solarii qui ordonne de tuer Lara. Avant que son ordre ne soit exécuté, des créatures semblables à des samouraïs massacrent les solarii autour de Lara et enlève cette dernière. Elle se réveille dans un ancien monastère où elle est ligotée. Elle s'enfuit et découvre une chambre de rituel où elle en apprend plus sur le rituel du feu qui doit désigner la nouvelle Reine Solaire. Sam la contacte alors par radio et lui révèle que les Solarii veulent lui faire subir le rituel où elle brûlera vive s'ils échouent. Lara part donc pour la forteresse des Solarii et retrouve Grim, mais il se sacrifie quand ils sont sur le point de tuer Lara. Arrive alors Roth, armé d'un fusil sniper, qui aide Lara à se frayer un chemin vers la forteresse. Elle assiste alors au rituel du feu orchestré par Mathias. Lara est repérée et capturée mais le rituel prend place et au moment où le bûcher s'embrase, un grand souffle de vent vient éteindre les flammes, désignant Sam comme l'élue.
Lara s'échappe à nouveau et rejoint ses amis venus sauver Sam. Rejoints par Whitman, qui est parvenu à s'arranger avec les Solarii, Lara retourne sauver Sam pendant que Roth parvient à faire venir un hélicoptère. Lara force alors Sam à fuir par la terre avant de grimper sur l'hélicoptère et le faire atterrir car la tempête se lève, mais un éclair touche l'aéronef et il se crashe. Lara manque de mourir dans l'accident et doit sa vie à Roth, mais Mathias et les Solarii arrivent et tuent Roth qui protégeait Lara. Les autres arrivent et pleurent Roth. Lara est désormais convaincue que les tempêtes ne sont pas naturelles et empêchent volontairement toute personne de quitter l'île. Les autres survivants ont repéré un bateau échoué qui pourrait leur permettre de partir. Ils sont rejoints par Whitman, qui affirme avoir échappé aux Solarii - mais Lara ne le croit pas. Lara part dans l'épave de l'Endurance où Alex est parti chercher les outils de Reyes, mais il est coincé dans une des cales et rapidement encerclé par les Solarii. Lara prend les outils et laisse à contrecœur Alex se sacrifier pour lui permettre de fuir.
Lara apporte les outils à Reyes avant de partir explorer des ruines de l'île, en fait une base militaire japonaise de la Seconde Guerre mondiale où l'armée a tenté de contrôler les tempêtes comme une arme. Elle trouve également une tombe avec les restes d'un samouraï s'étant fait seppuku. Lara découvre son histoire dans un message posthume : le soldat était le général de la garde de la Reine Solaire — les gardes-tempêtes — qui a assisté impuissant au suicide de l'élue, laissant l'esprit de la Reine occuper son corps même après sa mort et exprimant sa colère par des tempêtes retenant toutes les personnes tentant de la fuir. Lara comprend donc que Mathias veut réincarner l'esprit de la reine dans le corps de Sam. Alors qu'elle retourne auprès des autres, elle apprend que Whitman les a trahi et a livré Sam à Mathias.
Lara, Jonah et Reyes partent alors à leur poursuite, remontant une rivière vers le monastère, et Lara part seule dans le temple. Elle assiste à la mort de Whitman, tués par des gardes-tempêtes. Lara parvient à rejoindre juste à temps Mathias qui a commencé le rituel, gardé à la fois par les Solarii, les gardes-tempêtes et les Oni, mais parvient à abattre Mathias en le tuant armée de deux pistolets, avant de détruire les restes de Himiko pour sauver Sam. Les tempêtes se dissipent et Lara, Sam, Reyes et Jonah peuvent quitter l'île désormais sans encombre. Ils sont retrouvés par les marins d'un cargo, qui les recueillent et les ramènent sur le continent. Mais Lara est déterminée à continuer à étudier les mythes et comprendre leurs secrets.
