Don’t Worry: Tomb Raider Also Has Explosions:
![Does the little glowy bit to the right of the explosion look like a magical, completely out-of-place cartoon star to anyone else?](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_t9Z4zgmE9Y2LGUsO031Yp0xQJWTSkxYp3hcC-KkB_7k2Ni8_QtWAu3ifO8unYrYUaitQfcj6tvmdQG7qG1qFxi7VQ0GUT6fY12VITa5feNiHs5KArLBbIRn2Mj54K46w=s0-d)
Survival can take on many shapes and forms. Thus far, for instance, Tomb Raider‘s demonstrated it through climbing, hunting, resting, and fleeing from deranged cultists – so, you know, the usual stuff.

Lara has to acquire skills and character traits that will eventually allow her to – again, let me emphasize this – bring down a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Those abilities, it turns out, aren’t often found in the realm of possibility. So then, here’s Lara running, gunning, hacking, slashing, and just generally trying to cope with a world in which the walls, ground, and most aircraft are made entirely of light-breeze-sensitive explosives.
