Lara Croft: Relic Run vs Rise of the Tomb Raider
Lara Croft: Relic Run
Lara Croft: Relic Run is a thrilling endless runner game where you get to once again join adventurer extraordinaire, Lara Croft, as she dashes through various ancient ruins in search of valuable artifacts to recover. With simply a swipe, you can make her swan dive off high cliffs or swing across using helpful vines like Tarzan. However, interestingly, you may also encounter ruthless rivals who won't hesitate to shoot you... unless of course, you shoot them first!The best part about this game though is the game's brilliant Curse system. Much like the dreaded "Draw 4" cards in UNO, players can send curses to their friends in order to ruin their run. However, if you managed to survive the curse intact, you will be rewarded with a chance to get sweet, sweet revenge by sending a curse of your own in return!
Featuring gorgeous graphics and a fun and unique gameplay, Lara Croft: Relic Run is not a game that relies too heavily on the popularity of the game franchise it is based on. In fact, if you enjoy endless runner games, you should play this game regardless of whether you knew who Lara Croft is. It's that good!
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Rise of the Tomb Raider lets you step into the shoes of the world's coolest female treasure hunter ever, Lara Croft, and set off on a brand-new thrilling adventure across Siberia in a race against a ruthless organization, the Trinity, to find the Lost City of Kitezh. As opposed to the older versions of the game, Lara will not only have to battle members of the Trinity but also the wildlife in the region so as to scavenge rare resources to craft new weapons and items. There are more ways for you to engage the enemy, including multiple forms of stealth-based takedowns that may remind you of the gameplay in games like Assassin's Creed, distractions and of course, the Rambo-styled, all-out frontal attack.Being a treasure hunter, you'll also get to explore a wide variety of tombs, each filled with intriguing puzzles, well-hidden traps and a ton of secrets to uncover. If you get the 20 Year Celebration version, you will also get bonus content like Blood Ties which will let you explore Croft Manor and Lara's Nightmare that will pit you against hordes of zombies as well as several co-op game modes like the Co-op Endurance mode which will let you test your survival skills with a friend.
Rise of the Tomb Raider may not be as awesome as the 2013 installment of the series, but it's a close second. Not to mention, if you're the sort who's really particular about the graphics, you might want to grab this game instead. It's the latest, and hence, the most graphically-pleasing Tomb Raider game, you'll get!
