Publisher Square Enix has unveiled the box art for next year’s Lara Croft island survival adventure, Tomb Raider. The cover shows a contemplative Lara looking bruised, blooded, and as battered as the rocks around her. But clearly she is tooled up, not giving up, and ready to survive the storm in whatever metaphorical guises it manifests as.

Have a look:

So what do you think - love it or hate it? Or are you somewhere in the middle? When you've decided, have a vote in the poll below. It's just for fun. So don't sweat it.
