Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Three things stand out about the latest Tomb Raider title.
First, unlike in some recent outings, it’s actually a pleasure to take control of Ms Croft in all her motion-sensor glory. Second, during the underwater sections, scuba gear replaces the drown-or-find- air-pockets action of yore - a much more civilised way to play. Third, anyone feeling taxed by exploring the underworld for treasures can use the help-on-demand function. Lara is hardly a cutting-edge character these days, but fresh features and a new games engine keep this from feeling past its sell-by date.
