There’s a bit of backstory to discover, but the story is really a clever way to get you familiar with the layout of the house before you tackle Lara’s Nightmare – one of the other new modes in the anniversary edition – so in essence, the Manor is still the training level it always used to be. But since this is new, rebooted Lara, things were always going to be different Butler Winston is nowhere to be seen (although you can find a note from him), the gym’s disappeared and the pool guy has clearly been slacking off, because there’s now a giant tree in the West Wing. For long-term fans this trip back to the childhood home will come with mixed feelings, as this isn’t the house from the original games. There’s no shooting in the house (y’know, probably because of all the ancient artifacts lying around) but there are some childhood memories to discover, one of which explains why Lara’s idle animation has her flexing her shoulder.

It’s also one of the first games to support the new HDR features and a 4k resolution offered by the PS4 Pro, which we're yet to see in action, but you can view the demo Rise of the Tomb Raider PS4 Pro demo video here. There’s now co-op support for Endurance mode – think a Don’t Starve-style hunt for food and resources while trying to stay alive – and Lara’s Nightmare, a score attack mode with zombies stumbling into Croft Manor. The new stuff comes in the form of an hour long piece of story content called Blood Ties, set in Croft Manor, which is also playable in PSVR. There’s also an Extreme Survivor difficulty, which removes the checkpoints from the main game, and host of new outfits including a few classic skins. So that’s Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch and Cold Darkness Awakened. The 20 Year Celebration of Rise of the Tomb Raider contains the original game released on Xbox One a year ago – you can read our full, four-and-a-half stars out of five review here – along with all existing DLC. But what else do you get in the Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration package – and how does it stack up? Rather than re-reviewing the core Rise of the Tomb Raider solo campaign again (that we scored 4.5/5 last year), we decided to go through all the new stuff and deliver a verdict. Riding a quad buggy around the garden, locking Winston in the freezer, that line when you get out the pool – Croft Manor has been home to some of the most memorable moments in Lara’s long career, so it makes sense that Crystal Dynamics would want to set the new Blood Ties mode (available for the first time via the 20 Year Celebration) in this famous location. Is the '20 Year Celebration' content worth £19.99/$29.99? In truth, probably not… but allow us to explain. The trickier question is for Xbox One owners who are yet to fork out for a season pass.

PS4 owners, who missed out on last year's Xbox 'exclusive', are now getting a much more complete package – plus a virtual reality Blood Ties experience, of which more below – so, again, this verges essential purchase, especially for those who loved Uncharted 4 (or who, whisper it, felt Drake's final chapter lacked a little depth).

Xbox One owners who paid for a Rise of the Tomb Raider season pass get all the '20 Year Celebration' content free – so, yes, this well worth your time.
