Crystal Dynamic demonstrated Rise of the Tomb Raider at Microsoft’s E3 2015 event. In the footage, heroine Lara Croft and an ally climb a mountain amidst a snowstorm. Multiple times in the demo she falls from a ledge only to catch herself at the last possible moment. Music and sound effects swell for maximum drama. There’s an obvious emphasis on exploration and adventure, rather than shooting.
