4. Rise Of The Tomb Raider
Release Date: November 10 The Buzz: After 2013's Tomb Raider reboot resulted in arguably the series' best game to date, Crystal Dynamics are back with an Xbox One exclusive sequel (for now) that promises to combine the Uncharted-esque formula of the 2013 effort with more traditional franchise elements...namely more actual tomb raiding. Set in Siberia, Rise will see Lara take on some of the harshest terrain she's ever encountered, and the various gameplay clips shown off so far suggest that Lara's general movement, stealth and combat abilities have been refined for maximum versatility. The Xbox exclusive controversy notwithstanding (and to be fair, it is a sucky deal for PS4 owners in particular, given that the brand launched on the PlayStation), Rise looks to build on the solid foundation set by the first game, and will hopefully present a little more diversity than what we got the first time around.
