The PEGI 18 title is a one player game, although it allows for up to two players in online play.

The anniversary title, released in 2015, is also PS VR headset enabled for virtual reality fans out there.

Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration has secured a 4.48/5 stars on the PlayStation Store and an 88/100 on Metacritic.

“I especially loved this sequel to Tomb Raider,” one player wrote in a Metacritic review.

“They somehow improved Lara Croft’s design even more, and the gameplay was spectacular.

“The story was well crafted, and the voice acting and performances were just as great as its predecessor.”

Another player called it “one of the greatest action games out there,” based on game play, graphics and sound quality.

A third player wrote: “Was really surprised with this game! I have never played a Tomb Raider game prior to this one, as they never really seemed to interested me.

“But once I got to playing this game I was really hooked upon the first couple of days of playing… it’s an amazing game to get into if it is your first Tomb Raider experience.”

Although a fourth player noted that the game got “samey” towards the end.

“This one is hard to review,” they wrote on Metacritic.

“Despite the incredible variety that you eventually get in gameplay mechanics as you level up, as a whole it still got samey and tedious to finish.

“Still a solid entry in the franchise, though.”
