If it was a full price release without the extra content, and was made to pay extra for it, then it wouldn't be worth it for a year old game. But the extra content and stuff makes up for it.

It's also getting full PS4 Pro support, so you get all the benefits that brings such as upscaled 4K output if you're planning on getting a Pro.

Started playing this the other night and though it is good, I am surprised at how easily I am getting the hang of it. Think this is partly down to the button set up being almost a copy of Uncharted 4's set up.

Just in the Syberia

It's great but I preferred the first one in a lot of ways. It doesn't feel as perilous or grim as the first one and the story is weaker. The croft manor bit is a nice addition although it's quite blurry in VR.

Looking forward to carrying on with this when I get a new PS4 next month. I had only reached Siberia before having to return my Xbox for being faulty

Its still early days for me with this game. I decided to be brave and play it on the equivalent to hard. Not too sure if I am keen on the upgrade system though

I played this one the XB1 last year, it was good but I preferred the story in the first one.

I must admit, I predicted the very early plot twist in the game.

I will say nothing at all.

Must admit it is filling the void left after completing Uncharted 4

This was great. Liked it more than the first one and more than uncharted 4.

I accidently completed the Bab Yaga DLC early on in the game. Oops. I have to admit, I do like the openworldness of the game

Yes, it happened to me. I researched online and you need to put your PS4 into offline mode. Not sure why its happening, but that's what they suggested and now the game works fine for me.

I 100% the single player the other day. The diving challenge was glitchy. Had to redive at a board I had already done to finish it :-/

I've started playing this, really enjoying it. I'm enjoying it more than Uncharted 4.

I like the slight open-worldness of this. Being able to go back to previous levels and go into caves you missed the first time.

There seems a bit more to sink your teeth into than the first game, which is good. Plenty more upgrades, different types of the same weapon etc.

Just give me plenty of collectibles to find and I'm happy, so this game is ideal for me because there are tonnes!

Only downside so far is that the back story isn't really particularly interesting at the moment. All the documents I find are basically a different way of saying the same thing.

Uncharted 4 was great don't get me wrong but I preferred ROTTR too. I just found the combat and open world exploration more to my liking. As I said though both great games and PS4 owners are lucky they're now able to play both.

I liked the story better in Uncharted 4, but Tomb Raider has the better gameplay imo.

From purely a gameplay perspective I would put Uncharted 1-3 on par with Tomb Raider, but both Tomb Raider games beat Uncharted 4 on gameplay fun factor, to much climbing in Uncharted 4 that just slowed the game down but had no real purpose.

I think this new Tomb Raider game does beat Uncharted 4, something I never thought I would say. I like the slightly more open worldness of this game as it reminds me of the Assassin Creed games where you could choose to do some exploring before going back to the main story
