4 years later, and this still helped me out. All 3 games are now free on Playstation+. I started with Tomb Raider 2013, but the graphics and ubsurd amount of camera shake turned me off. I can now confidently start Rise Of The Tomb Raider without feeling that I'm missing out on something important
Bought this game back when it first came out, decided to play the next two games to keep me sane during lockdown, needed a rejog of the memory of the first game. Great stuff.
a bit late but i started to play rise but i dont remember the prequel AT ALL, this was such a good summary, i felt like i was able to play the game again, tysm
just bought rise and shadow on steam sale and wanted to recap this tomb raider since its been years since ive played it. Just wanted to say this recap was perfect and felt like i was watching a short film narration :) thank you! subbed and liked!
I appreciate the video, my game was unbeatable after rescuing the friends from the plane hanging, and i didnt feel like restarting over. Now i can continue on to rise now.
Thanks for the refresh mate! This story is way more intense than the movie that came out based on it last year. (Netflix) Good movie though. I just picked up the sequel on a steam sale. Rise of The Tomb Raider. So I'm keen to give that a crack. Btw - I'd cheer too if she killed 4 people who imprisoned me haha.
I liked the movie. It was actually a movie with subtle hints for fans of the game. Not your usual video game movie that screams, "HEY, here's that thing from the game!" every 15 minutes. It wasn't a Netflix only movie though. I saw it in theaters. And yes, I get the cheering, haha. But you just saw a friend of your's murder three people. You should at least hesitate a bit. 😄
Anyone here after the Epic Games giveaway of the trilogy? I played a bit of the original long ago but gave up due to reasons now I wanted to give Rise a shot and was looking for a perfect recap instead of having to watch the entire gameplay, thanks a lot!!
Only one of the new tomb raiders I haven’t played in the last few years. Just bought the Ten Thousand Immortals book and needed a little refresher of everything that happened. This was perfect
This helps me a lot. I wanted to play this game to play the sequels but the damn camera shaking was giving me a headache, which has never happened before with any other games.
played this like five years ago, and have Rise of the Tomb Raider collecting dust in Steam. now i want to play it before getting Shadow on PS Plus. thank you for the recap to get back into it. Week 1 of next year is gonna be all Tomb Raider
was going to start playing rise again(didnt finish it last time I played) but it has been so long since I played the first one I needed a recap so thanks for this
Great work bro. I'm starting this series using my eye tracker and the first game doesn't support it so I wanted to skip it. This was great to get me caught up.
Thank you for making this! I just finished playing Rise of the tomb raider, and since characters like Roth where mentioned near the end I thought the characters of the first game where relevant again but I didnt know whos who and what they ended up doing after it.
I played this in 2015 and played rise a couple of days ago for the first time and barely had any idea on what was going on since I barely remembered the first game hahah
Thank you for this video, play tomb raider on xbox 360 years ago and now about to play rise on ps4. Needed this sum up to remember what happened before playing 👍
yall this game was awesome. i just played it for the first this year (2024) and i loved it. i think i finished it in like 3days or something. thats fast for me. i played on steam deck and just consumed it
This happened to me last night. I was halfway through the game and my save got corrupted. I have already played the game before but it’s been a couple of years or so.
Thanks for this. Been meaning to play the second Tomb Raider in the new reboot, but have been stuck halfway through the first one for a while. Now that I know what happens I don't feel too bad moving on.
Thanks for this man. Beat this game on steam long time ago and then definitove edition on ps4. Just got rise and shadow now too so going through these as well
@@TheNintendoWizrad i’m on xbox where they’re just on sale and i’m pretty low on money right now which is why i asked so it really helped to hear that because a lot of others said the same so i’ll just look at a summary after finishing rise thank you
cheers, i tried to play this game but the camera wobble in this game was mental and made me feel sick and rendered the game unplayable for me, so i've skipped it and moved onto Rise of the TR which so far is great.
good summary ... catching up again before moving on. I hear the next games were better but i hardly remember the 2013 version because to me it was terrible . Hopefully it actually got better ... will be playing rise , and shadow after this comment.
You know, I have to quibble on semantics... 'murder' vs. 'kill'. She KILLED all the guards. She did not murder them. I might be splitting hairs here. But this was life and death survival, her or them. War rules dude. Murder is killing in polite society outside of the stark choice of 'they die or I die'. Murder is killing when you WANT them dead, not when you must kill to live. If she is a 'murderer' so is every soldier soldier in history, good or bad, who drew blood. I agree the celebration was out of place. I just take issue with Lara 'murdering' the guards. She killed them, she had to, it was not murder.
It feels like the gameplay only supplemented an interactive movie. The original Tomb Raider games were actual *games.* I like the reboots, but not nearly as much as the original adventures.
Bought Rise today not realizing it was the 2nd one. This video was much needed to get caught up.
Glad to be of service. Hope you enjoy Rise!
I did the same lol. "rise"
Yeah the naming of the games is super confusing. I just made a note on my phone specifically to remind me the order of games haha.
same lol
You should definitely go back and play the first one cause it’s seriously one of the best games ever
Man this was a hella nice summary. Great work 👌
Thank you.
thank you. i dont remember much from TR and ROTTR and im looking forward to SOTTR
Chandler York Your welcome. I'll be covering Rise next week.
That was a legit summary. Great editing. Thank you!
Thank YOU. And you're welcome.

Same
For me it was the movement being weird. On ps5 Lara stopped moving for a few seconds and then started moving again if I walk forward.
I didn't have any problems in Xbox ss@@Votalta
Played the game almost 10 years ago. I just started Rise in game pass and realized how much i forgot. Thank you for this❤
Bought this game back when it first came out, decided to play the next two games to keep me sane during lockdown, needed a rejog of the memory of the first game. Great stuff.
Playing rise and I'm so glad this video exists so I don't have to play that game
That's why it's here, dude. Have fun!
Play this one fist. It's absolutely worth it
a bit late but i started to play rise but i dont remember the prequel AT ALL, this was such a good summary, i felt like i was able to play the game again, tysm
just bought rise and shadow on steam sale and wanted to recap this tomb raider since its been years since ive played it. Just wanted to say this recap was perfect and felt like i was watching a short film narration :) thank you! subbed and liked!
Thanks! I hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
Shadow just dropped on GP and your vid was first result when i searched for a recap. Thanks dood!
Just what I needed before playing Rise of Tomb Raider,,a little refresher
Great video, thanks a lot! I've been looking exactly for this kind of recap before Rise of the Tomb Raider and you nailed it flawlessly :)
Played it on xbox360 5 years ago. I remember only that event happens on island.
Thankyou for summary.
Picked up Rise of the Tomb Raider on gamepass today, and this is exactly the recap I needed since it's been 10 years since I played this game. Thanks
Same here lol
I appreciate the video, my game was unbeatable after rescuing the friends from the plane hanging, and i didnt feel like restarting over. Now i can continue on to rise now.
Thanks for the refresh mate!

Greatly explained man , your voice is very clear.
Lightning and damsel in distress seems to be a theme here
I quit playing the tomb raider on %30 so this video really helped to refresh my memory before starting to play it again. Thanks a lot!
Anyone here after the Epic Games giveaway of the trilogy? I played a bit of the original long ago but gave up due to reasons now I wanted to give Rise a shot and was looking for a perfect recap instead of having to watch the entire gameplay, thanks a lot!!
Happy to help! Hope you enjoy the other games!
Same lmao, I finished the first one a while ago but can't remember the story
Great summary ! Now I'm ready to play Rise :)
really just felt Roth’s death all over again 😪
Thanks, I finished this game several years ago, and was going to try Rise now, but didn't feel like playing the entire game to remember this stuff
Planning to play tombraider 2015 and 2018 but didnt have space to download this one, good summary
Only one of the new tomb raiders I haven’t played in the last few years. Just bought the Ten Thousand Immortals book and needed a little refresher of everything that happened. This was perfect
This helps me a lot. I wanted to play this game to play the sequels but the damn camera shaking was giving me a headache, which has never happened before with any other games.
Never thought of people watching these because they literally couldn't play the game. Glad I could help.
Bout to play rise on pc. Haven’t played this one since it came out! This was a big help!
thanks! just started Rise of the Tomb Raider!
Very good summary, I enjoyed it as if it was a mini-movie. Thanks man!
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you! About to start Rise of the Tomb Raider. Couldn’t remember exactly what all I did just knew I was a badass.... in the game

Mike ` Your welcome
Thanks bro, Rise of the Tomb Raider is going to be free this July 7th for PS Plus. Great summary.

Thanks for the video, I had played this a long time ago and didn't remember much. I'm playing ROTR and then SOTR so needed a refresher.
Glad I could help!
I remember playing this game on the ps3, it was very good I would still recommend it to people
thanks for your detailed summary cos i just get the SOTTR during sales!
Ayyye same here
Thanks been over 10 years I forgot what happened in first haven’t played the latest. Free on ps now
Thanks for the recap. Well done, appreciate it. Im about to start on Rise of the Tomb Raider
I played this in 2015 and played rise a couple of days ago for the first time and barely had any idea on what was going on since I barely remembered the first game hahah
Thank you. That was best oh those tomb raider reboots.
Finished the game today, amazing, especially for its time.
This deserves more views
Thank you for this video, play tomb raider on xbox 360 years ago and now about to play rise on ps4. Needed this sum up to remember what happened before playing 👍
yall this game was awesome. i just played it for the first this year (2024) and i loved it. i think i finished it in like 3days or something. thats fast for me. i played on steam deck and just consumed it
Great summary.
I'm having to watch this because I got the delightful corrupt save glitch and dont want to go through the trouble of fixing it
This happened to me last night. I was halfway through the game and my save got corrupted. I have already played the game before but it’s been a couple of years or so.
Loved it, really good work :D
Thanks for the recap! now to play rise (a little yes i know lol)
Hope you enjoyed Rise!
Thanks for this. Been meaning to play the second Tomb Raider in the new reboot, but have been stuck halfway through the first one for a while. Now that I know what happens I don't feel too bad moving on.
Thank you for watching. I'm glad it was useful. And I hope you enjoy Rise!
I was stuck on the first one too can get confusing
Getting a review before I play shadow of the Tomb Raider. Thanks man 👍
Any time!
Thanks for this man. Beat this game on steam long time ago and then definitove edition on ps4. Just got rise and shadow now too so going through these as well
Your welcome. Have fun!
was shadow good to you or should i watch a summary i have the money but i’d prefer to keep it for other things unless it was really good
@@reaperkid100 I didn't complete shadow. It wasn't bad persay just very samey and didn't wow me
@@reaperkid100 if you have a pc all 3 Tomb raider games are free right now on the epic games store so I would just get it there then
@@TheNintendoWizrad i’m on xbox where they’re just on sale and i’m pretty low on money right now which is why i asked so it really helped to hear that because a lot of others said the same so i’ll just look at a summary after finishing rise thank you
Got rise and shadows free with psplus, must have missed this one when it was free. Oh well, this great video will help!
Awesome video!
glad this is hear. finally decided to try all the new ones and this one doesn't work on my pc.
great summary, keep up the good work!
Thanks. Will do!
My file got corrupted halfway through. Thanks for this
Good video man!! It's really helpful since shadow of the tomb raider is free right now with ps+. Thank you :)
Cool Video!!! Thanks alot!
Thanks for the recap.. .. I just got a copy of Rise Of The Tomb Raider and needed a recap.. .. now Ive been reminded.. thanks for the video..
The oni was the BIG dude in armor, the rest were normal soldiers/bowmen.
Good video, thanks!
Thank you.
had to watch this cause i got the bug in the geothermal caverns and no amount of trying to activate someone elses saves would fix it.
Thank you very much!
cheers, i tried to play this game but the camera wobble in this game was mental and made me feel sick and rendered the game unplayable for me, so i've skipped it and moved onto Rise of the TR which so far is great.
Thanks man!
Mine kept getting corrupted right at the helicopter scene where she jumps in. Can't finish the game!!
good summary ... catching up again before moving on. I hear the next games were better but i hardly remember the 2013 version because to me it was terrible . Hopefully it actually got better ... will be playing rise , and shadow after this comment.
Just bought Rise of The Tomb Raider. Didn't know that the story is the sequel to the 2013 Tomb Raider. Thanks for the summarised story. :)
Thanks alot
I wanted to know what was going on before playing the Second Part
You're welcome! That's the idea. Now you're ready for Rise.
You guys are great to catch up
Well, there's only one of me, but thanks! Catching up is one of the reasons the videos are here for.
Im here cause i started the game but cant finish due to motion sickness. Motion sickness cause of camera shake that can't be disabled.
Whats the music used in the video? Feel like I've heard it somewhere before
The song is "Get Back Up" by Silent Partner
u r a good person
Thanks played through most of the game but got a bit bored and wanted to go to the next game

Thanks for this. Couldn't stand the camera shake in the game so I had to uninstall. (Epic Games version doesn't have a fix)
Just a note Grim is Scottish, not Irish.
Grimm is Scottish not Irish.
Thank you
Your welcome.
Thanks man, i finished this an year or two ago, just torrented rottr (yes I'm cheap 😂)
Needed a refresh, lolol anyways thanks
Did you torrent this as well?
@@RonMarrionTChan no, it was free on steam, but there is a torrent for this game, drop your discord if you want the torrent
Glad I could help!
You sound like vaas! Any way great video
Haven't played Far Cry. Will have to look into it, haha. And thanks!
Ibr I'm watching because my SAVE GIT CORRUOTED
played this when it released and i didn’t understand it
all i know is that this game was fun as shit
Roth could have just pulled Laura and himself to the ground instead of spinning like that.
Thx
Great video man, like and sub for you!
Thank you for all three things!
I like tomb raider but the first one kinda has janky controls
Amazing game, such a shame that the StormGuard/Oni are so underused... :/
The japanese visual theme and music as well
VERY could recap
Well when you put it that way...it seems rather silly.
It feels like the gameplay only supplemented an interactive movie. The original Tomb Raider games were actual *games.* I like the reboots, but not nearly as much as the original adventures.
Way to many details for a summary in my opinion
Considering the video is 14 minutes and the actual game is around 15 hours I'd say its a great summary
Yay 1st comment!
By seconds, according to my notifications. But yes, yes you were!
Lore Logs Niiiiice
Wow the story is exactly as bad as I remember it when I played it in 2013
This Lara is more beautiful and hotter than tha Lara in Rise and Shadow
