If you eliminate the politically correct mainstream outlets and their incorrect use of "colonizer" the reviews are very good.I preordered the standard edition last week, can't wait to start playing, hopefully on Thursday night.
Reviews seem mixed but good overall. Probably a solid 8/10 at the very least.

There are 13 individual pieces of DLC for the game on steam
Yea I'm pretty sure the release "DLC" is just outfits and some "skill booster pack". The quest DLC which is like 7 survival tombs and side missions will release on a monthly basis starting in October.I seem to recall a bunch of weapon skins and stuff for the last game(s) as well, that were all listed individually.
Yes, they are the deluxe edition and croft edition bonuses, that doesn't mean it's not bad. where was the time, where games were just released as is. You pay for it, and get access to everything. And this is not even the worst of it.I seem to recall a bunch of weapon skins and stuff for the last game(s) as well, that were all listed individually.

enabled in windows control panel and on monitor?Just ran the game for a bit, the game looks great. Gonna wait for my 2080Ti though before I commit to a playthrough since I have to drop some settings to get 60FPS at 4k. It does look amazing though, can't wait to play.
Does anyone know how to enable HDR in the game?, it is there but its grayed out...
try the driver control panel forced vsync.No vsync = blech...unless you have a Gsync or Freesync setup. I can't handle screen tearing.

Ok I got it working. I had to update to the 399.24 Nvidia driver and enable it in windows.
The game looks incredible in HDR, played about an hour at near max settings at 4k. I found playable settings for my rig as well without losing much fidelity if anyone is interested.
AA: SMAAT2x (could probably drop it down to SMAA for better fps, but I didn't bother testing)
Texture Quality: Ultra
Texture Filtering: 16x
Shadow Quality: High
Depth of Field: Normal
Level of Detail: High
Ambient Occlusion: HBAO+
Pure Hair: Normal
Screen Space Contact Shadows Off
Motion Blur: Off
Screen Space Reflections: On
Lense Flares: On
Screen Effects: On
Volumetric Lighting: On
Tessellation: On
Guessing with a 2080Ti this game can be ran on Max settings at 4k/60 (other than RTX ofcourse, but who knows at this point).
Edit: Also want to note that DX12 is the better performer in this game over DX11 on Pascal atleast. Which is the first game that I've seen it perform better other than Sniper Elite 4.
I agree, but only for 60Hz displays. On 144hz I have a very hard time noticing any tearing with vsync off. The worst maybe in the 10px range that I can actually see. The microstutter that vsync seems to cause was immediately obvious.No vsync = blech...unless you have a Gsync or Freesync setup. I can't handle screen tearing.
The previous games always autosaved at various times unless you played on Extreme Survivor difficulty. That was the only time saving was restricted to campsites.Yes, they are the deluxe edition and croft edition bonuses, that doesn't mean it's not bad. where was the time, where games were just released as is.

Anyhow, I started playing the game, and after three hours I feel I'm still playing the damn tutorial, I was ready for the game to start in earnest 2 hours ago, but it just keeps dragging on. At least you can save without being at a campsite now. Which is a good thing because the first campsite was like an hour into the game, and still only a restricted version where you only got access to skill upgrades and nothing else. Speaking of skills, the skill tree, is more like a skill jumble, and I'm already struggling to find anything useful among the skills that I'd actually want, on level 3. Hell I had a hard time choosing half useful skills on the first levelup. I only got to the same situation halfway trough rise.
I'm not saying the game is bad, but it is not made with returning players in mind.
On the other hand the graphics is noticeably better, and runs much smoother than rise did for me. That was a slideshow on ultra. This, well you can see for yourself:

Everything on ultra / or highest available settings except motion blur which I refuse to use. Other settings: 2560x1440, TAA, DX12 Exclusive fullscreen 144hz. VSYNC OFF
I also did a run with vsync and only got a couple fps less, but micro-stuttering is noticeably worse with vsync.
The game is more of the same, but some of the movements are somehow less fluid, especially the climbing feels more clumsy. I had a hard time making some jumps.
I'm still very much against the difficulty system in the game. I'd like to play on hardest as I did with both previous games, but I can't because it comes with additional idiocies now that I refuse to put up with.
I played on that. So that exlpains it. I thought I needed to find a campsite and save there when I first started playing, but as it turns out you can't save at campfires at all. There is a save game option in the menu. IDK if it saves the exact spot where you are, or the last autosave.The previous games always autosaved at various times unless you played on Extreme Survivor difficulty.

Funny, I heard from other people that the parkour is better this time around. I haven't started playing it myself, yet, as I want to finish Rise because I only ever played it halfway through.
You're right, I'm pretty sure it wasn't that way prior on the PC versions. That would be the way joystick control is expected to act.I played on that. So that exlpains it.

I Had a bunch of occasions where I just couldn't move properly until I realized that controls work in relation to the screen, and not the character. So for example if the camera switches to a right side view W is no longer forward, but left and D is forward, and so on. Which is dumb IMO. I can't remember if it was the same in the previous games.
It has that if you're running in one of the windowed modes. And in exclusive fullscreen you should just use DSR to get the same effect anyway.Fired it up for a second on my lunch break. No render resolution %? C'mon, it's 2018.
You can go over to gamegpu.ru to check out some testing and see that CPU optimization in DX 11 is absolutely abysmal.
I posted up frametime graphs earlier and you can see it's nearly a smooth line in DX12 while DX11 has mountain peaks and valleys.You can go over to gamegpu.ru to check out some testing and see that CPU optimization in DX 11 is absolutely abysmal.
Sounding like a very mediocre game according to Jim Sterling.
Disappointing to hear that the plot is again dull and unengaging, Rise of the Tomb Raider was so flawed from a narrative perspective that you would think the writers would have made sure to nail that this time.
Did that guy have a clothespin on his nose? Very irritating listening to and very whiny.
