They also introduced their new online services which, for the first time, will be paid, but they will be free until 2017th’s fall. The good thing about this is that each month we will be able to enjoy a free game and exclusive offers. They have also removed the Region Lock, that characterized the last Nintendo consoles, which implies that we will be able to play any game, independently of the region.

Regarding the autonomy, the battery will last between 2h 30min and 6h, depending on the game. The internal memory will be of 32GB and it could be expanded with a microSD, it will sport a 6.2 inch screen with a resolution of 1280×720.

They presented two new Joy-Con in neon blue and neon red, along with the grey one. They also introduced the Pro controller, a more professional controller that remind us of the PlayStation and Xbox ones.

Something to highlight is the parental control of the console. Although it is not a new feature, since it is a familiar console and already offered that in previous consoles, this time it allows us to control the gameplay time and control it through the mobile application.

With the console, they presented various titles that will be available since the launch. You have a link to the Nintendo store to check the already confirmed titles and the ones that will be appearing.

We have already pre-ordered ours and we really want to try it, do you have yours already pre-ordered?, if not… what are you waiting for?

The Xbox One and Xbox 360 users could enjoy the game since the 10th of November from 2015 thanks to an exclusivity agreement, however, the PC users haven’t been able to enjoy it until the last 28th of January from 2016, unfortunately the PlayStation 4 users will have to wait until November.

So once we have completed the game and made the most of it, it is time to make a review and share our opinion about it.

In The Rise of The Tomb Raider there’s a very important emotional line which allow us to emphatise with the main character, who will be focused mainly on the search of answers and Lara’s relationship with her father, her struggle to do justice to his father beliefs and the willing to make an ending to the job that he started years ago. We can see that along with the story thanks to flashbacks which show us numerous memories from Lara’s childhood with her father (something that caught our attention given that it adds information to the family story and if we compare it with the previous games this can shock you a little bit, but despite that it convinced us).

The story takes place in Siberia, despite the game starts with a prologue with jumps between Siberia and Syria, place which introduce us quickly into the game controls and dynamic and show us the amazing stages that we’ll find along the game.
But once in Siberia we’ll have to face enemies and activate our survival instinct in order to understand the mystery of the immortal soul and discover the treasure with lies beneath, although, Lara won’t be alone and she’ll have to face an unscrupulous organisation, known as Trinity, moreover, she will come across with a group of natives from Siberia known as “the Remnant”, who will ask for favours, something which will lead you to optional missions and in case of accepting and finishing them they will reward us.

Some innovations, in comparison with the 2013 game, are the ability to collect resources such as skin and wood, something that will allow us to upgrade our weapons or regenerate our health, resources which will be essential to make upgrades in the basecamp, but at the same time will allow us to make some of these upgrades outside, for example to craft arrows.

In regard to weapons, we count on with a really complete arsenal, from the climbing axe to the bows, the guns, the shotguns and assault rifles. In this game, the bow will turn into a really useful and versatile tool, in a way that through all the upgrades we’ll obtain a silence and precise weapon, which will allow us to shoot from regular arrows to poison arrows, fire arrows, rope arrows and explosive arrows. What is more, the arrows will allows us to use special skills such as climbing soften wooden surfaces, moving to a different place like using a liana, pulling off objects or enemies, and reaching high or descent places.

Something that provide us more options for causing enemies silent kills are the objects that we can gather or even create such as smoke grenades, fragmentation grenades and Molotov cocktails, so this game doesn’t outstand precisely for the use of firearms, given that using your wit and all the resources that surround you, you can perfectly cause silent kills, despite in certain occasions it will be necessary. The outfits should also be taken into consideration, because each one provides special skills such as the ability of carrying more ammo, to regenerate health faster or to resist better specific attacks, something that if we apply properly along the story can facilitate us the game combined with the skills system which classifies in three groups: brawler, which improves our combat skills; hunter, which improves our skills to collect resources and focuses on the guns, and survivor, which boosts Lara’s wit and problem solving capacity.

Despite that, we still miss the classic Lara who shoots two guns at a time.

Maybe something that we missed was the multiplayer mode, however, they offer an expedition mode, a very useful option which allow us to complete the 100% of the game by choosing game episodes which give us the option to obtain the maximum punctuation and which we can customize with cards with different skills. Some skills and modes which are really curious, such as the endurance mode, in which Lara can die of cold or hunger, or modifiers such as big heads and explosive chickens.

Personally, we really liked the DLC Baba Yaga which has a new mystery to be solved, stages, puzzles, wonders and new enemies, what is more, all this has its final reward.

Definitely, it is a game with amazing graphics, illumination and realistic and very detailed colours with an animation that looks after the smallest detail, such as Lara rubbing her hands because of the cold or squeezing her hair when she gets out of the water. We love the fact of living how Lara is turning into that strong, fearless and smart woman with more complex ambitions, her great intuition and ability to face danger and new abilities such as learning languages, which will allow her to decipher monoliths which will reveal the location of hidden treasures and secret crypts.

A story with a lot of action, with a perfect harmony between the story, the fights and the exploration, consisting on a more opened and replayable world with secondary missions, much more tombs, relics and documents to discover, with some stages and landscapes that will amaze you.

Then, what does the Razer Blade Stealth offer us?
There are two existing models, a basic one with a QHD screen, whose base price is 999,99$ and another one much more advanced with an UHD screen, which has an initial price of 1399,99$. Both models come with an Intel Core i7 processor from the sixth generation (the last generation in the market until the date of the post), which at the same time includes an Intel HD Graphics 520 (able to run the 2015 games with graphic settings at the minimum), 8GB of DDR3 RAM, a 12.5” screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a Chroma keyboard. What differences both models are the available disk drive capacities, that is to say, the basic model can use an SSD disk of 128GB or one of 256GB, while the other model can use an SSD disk of 256GB or one of 512GB. Moreover, another difference is the colour saturation that they offer, the QHD model offers a 70% Adobe RGB range of colours, whereas, the UHD offers a 100% Adobe RGB.

Finally, we have the Razer Core, until the moment there is not much known, the company hasn’t revealed much information, especially, until some problems with the “hot swap” have been solved, or the possibility or exchanging the graphic cards with no need to shut down the computer, a new technology that the want to introduce with the Razer Core. What is known is that it will support a huge range of graphic cards, including NVIDIA, as well as AMD, it is also known that it will be connected to the laptop through a Thunderbolt 3 port (USB type-C), it will count with 4 3.0 USB ports and a Gigabit Ethernet port, a think that will allow us to use is as a docking station for the ultrabook, turning it into a desktop computer.

Despite being a very promising laptop, mostly having the Razer Core, we also believe that it has certain shortcomings. Being a 12.5” allows a huge portability but it is true that sometimes this becomes a little inconvenience, especially if we bear in mind its high pixel density which both resolutions offer, we hope that they dispose of models with a bigger size in future versions of the product. The laptop counts with not much USB ports, if we plug a mouse to the computer we only have a free port (without considering the ability of adding external hubs or turning the USB type-C into a regular one).  It could be said that it disposes of little RAM memory if we compare it with some competence models which offer similar characteristics, depending on the use that we want to give to 8GB it can fall short. Another problem to consider, could be that you can only play at home, not outside, this is a downside which could be argued if we consider that this laptop is thought for a professional use on the go and for being a powerful graphic machine at home, in order to be able to enjoy our favourite games at its maximum, we can add that the Razer Core doesn’t allow the inclusion of internal hard disks, which is a serious problem if we consider that the computer hard disk shouldn’t be destined for gaming, because in an independent way it isn’t able to run games, despite a possible solution could be using external hard disk drives.
