Make your bacon crispy with these Rise of the Tomb Raider achievements

Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of the more important exclusives for Xbox. Yes, it’s just a timed exclusive and Tomb Raider fans from other platforms will be able to play it eventually, but for those who love Lara and need to play the game ASAP, it will help Xbox ship some more consoles. We’ve seen a bunch of gameplay by now, so it makes sense to reveal the range of things you might be hunting. No, I’m not just talking about animals or treasure you can hunt in the game, but also the achievements that you can grab.

Major Nelson has revealed the complete achievement list. As always, there are a bunch of fairly straight forward ones, some quirky ones, and some spoiler-ific ones. So, if you’re planning to go into the game without any idea of what’s in store for you, avert your eyes now.

Do you tend to go for the 100% in these games, or do all the necessary collectibles make you just accept that you might not manage to collect all the achievements?
