Genre puts it alongside Rise of the Tomb Raider, and so does strong narrative focus, open world exploration and melee combat. The common ground extends to exploration and discovery, and a third-person camera. Where the two diverge is progression and visuals: dark, oppressive atmosphere and an isometric view.

Released 3 years after Rise of the Tomb Raider.

If Rise of the Tomb Raider worked for you because of open world exploration, melee combat and multiplayer gameplay, the same is here. To that it adds exploration and discovery, and a third-person camera. They part company on tone and progression: this one brings dark, oppressive atmosphere.

The genre is the same as Rise of the Tomb Raider’s, and with it strong narrative focus, open world exploration and melee combat. Both also lean on loot and gear systems, and a third-person camera. The distance is in visuals and world — its own ground is a sandbox world.

Same family as Rise of the Tomb Raider: strong narrative focus, open world exploration and melee combat. The common ground extends to exploration and discovery, and a third-person camera. Where the two diverge is progression and visuals: historical setting.
