The Silent Treatment: Non-Lethal Gamescom 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' Gameplay

Microsoft's demo replayed as a pacifist.

One of the big criticisms of the 'Tomb Raider' reboot was Lara's sudden switch from screaming victim to kill-crazy psychopath, and while Microsoft's demo was big on the arrow stabbings, there have been many wondering if Lara could give peace a chance.

The answer, apparently, is yes. Crystal Dynamic have released gameplay footage of the level shown off in Microsoft's Gamescom demo, played entirely as a pacifist, with Lara sneaking through the underbrush, distracting guards, and slipping out of situations unseen. Personally, I prefer the stabby arrow option, but mileage may vary. Take a look.
