Gritty. Gripping. Exhilarating. 5 out of 5 stars!
Summary
(Taken from Wikipedia) 
The game begins with Lara setting out on her first expedition about 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 split in two, leaving the survivors stranded on an isolated island. Lara is separated from the others when she is captured by a strange, savage man and trapped in his cave home. She manages to escape while her captor is killed as the cave collapses around them. As Lara tries to locate the other survivors, she finds more evidence that the island is inhabited, complete with strange carvings, dead bodies, and ritual sacrifices of animals.
Review

I never posted game reviews because I thought Ermilia should have a focus on books. But you know what? There are so many great games out there with a fantastic story and enthralling characters. Games inspire me to write. Maybe they inspire you too. And, why not have a bit of entertainment while you’re at it?
I LOVED this Tomb Raider game. I can’t begin to express how much I loved it. This game has easily become on of my top games of all time. Continue reading
