    The main thing in the game should be - the plot. Here he is very weak, I have not experienced emotions. The only thing that pleases, complex tombs, a lot of artifacts and beautiful graphics. I liked the photo mode

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider до того вылизанная и ровная, что кажется какой-то искусственной или даже пластиковой. Хорошая графика и до ужаса глупый сюжет.

    From the new trilogy, i would say this game is the weakest. The story is literally a trashy, uniniteresting blob and the same goes for all characters except maybe Lara and Jonah who have good chemistry but are separated far too often.
    Locations are the worst in the series, there's nothing interesting in them and the only saving grace are the challenge tombs.
    Tombs are by far the best

    It's both beautiful and boring, but even more boring... The tempo problem is really overwhelming. Better gameplay should have been given with these beautiful graphics.

    The story is ok I guess, the characters are kinda boring, there isn't much to say about it other than it was disappointing. The only reason anyone should play it is the graphics and if it wasn't for the graphics the score would be a lot lower.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Play right after 2nd game, otherwise you will not understand a thing. Overall worth playing to finish off the franchise and put it to rest. Not worth purchasing at full price for sure.

    Graphical Issues:
    - Very basic, but the image output is very dull (bright areas aren't bright enough and mix up with shadows). Adding Nvidia game filter for clarity fixed it, but this should not be an issue for a AAA game.
    - It's been 4 years since release, and the dxgi_error_device_hung error that causes you to crash every 30 minutes still hasn't been fixed. It's not my GPU, Cyberpunk 2077 runs totally fine on maximum settings (no RT). I have a feeling the game has a VRAM leak or something similar.
    - The Hidden Village location runs at below 60 FPS (vs usual 90 FPS everywhere else) and drops to below 40 FPS in some spots even on all minimum settings with "ultra performance" DLSS setting on. Nobody bothered to fix it.

    So many plot holes too:
    - What does everyone speak English? I mean sure, Lara is a linguist or whatever, but since when does Jonah (the ship cook from 1st game) speak perfect ancient Incan?
    - The hidden village is so hidden, Jonah and Lara were able to get there by boat without issues.
    - They make a point of Lara hiding her weapons and wearing local clothing when entering this "ancient" hidden village society, they forget about it in the last cut scenes where she's wearing modern gear and weapons and all.

    Plot:
    - I didn't understand half of it.
    - I am not sure what the rebellion is, if they all just hangout in the city with the bad guy guards and nobody cares.
    - Trinity, what Trinity? Oh yeah. Never mind the build up from the 2nd game. You are just informed they are killed off over the radio.

    Some game elements are bizarre:
    - The dialect learning is pointless now, there aren't enough things to discover and it's just 1 dialect instead of 3 in the last game.

    Its ok, I guess. I liked Rise of the Tomb Raider much more. I remember it blowing me away because the graphics and animations were so well done. Still are today!

    But in Shadow the graphics actually are worse and the animations have far more flaws. For example if you use your pickaxes in rocks, it looked far better on the previous game. You could feel how the axes dug into the stone. Here you can actually see them not even go into the stone...
    Also the textures have a much lower resolution on quite a few objects and the polycount is much lower as well.
    And then theres the horrible AA. SMAA x4 should look awesome, since its the best you can get in this game, but instead it makes the game look blurry and things further away from you have some kind of grid overlay, which makes the game really ugly. It also runs faster than the last one and uses far less VRAM, so I guess all these are "performance optimizations".

    The story is well made. I loved the part where you play her as a child. Really cute.
    But some parts overwhelm you, like when youre in a new village and try to find your way around and people to talk to and things to steal (yes, the poor village people dont care if you steal their belongings).
    Upgrading is kinda pointless with the DLCs, since you get fully upgraded weapons from the start and crafting doesnt have many options either. The last part was better in that.

    Stealth is well done this time. Its very enjoyable killing people like Rambo from a mud wall.

    Anyway, my main concern is that it actually got worse in a lot of things. Mainly the graphics. But also the controls are a little bit worse. Not very intuitive and thus you mess up more often than in the last game.

    Oh yeah and one last thing that really made me angry: You often see places where you could climb up easily or otherwise use paths that seem possible, but then the game wont let you. You need to use the predefined way, even though its not nearly as obvious as the one you saw. I kinda feel trolled in situations like that.

    Authors have serious problem with gender diversity (same level but opposite). You really dont want see mud on Lara as dog food. "Shadow Of The Uncharted" it's just frustrating linear corridor with QTE. Dont buy this game, atleast without playing free trial.

The creators must be aware what the current standard is. I find it utterly depressing that Uncharted is so much more Tomb Raider right now than Tomb Raider itself and no wonder this was no doing very well in terms of sales. I was such a Tomb Raider fan but really had to force myself to finish this and then didn't bother with the DLC. Really, if the creators don't go back to the Lara we love, I'm giving the next TR instalment a miss. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Больше всего напрягает что это неудачная переделка ROTTR.

    -Сюжет не то что бы хромает а ползёт на культях с мольбами о смерти через расстрел, очень запомнился момент когда Лару утаскивает потоком воды, в итоге она ныряет под воду а тааааам.... Тишь да гладь, мёртвые плавают, спокойненько так. А потом когда она выплывает из супермаркета с мертвецами опять буря, борьба за жизнь... Ну что за бред?
    Или можно сдыхать на одном месте раз по 20 потому что не понятно что же тут делать... То-ли кусты мешают, то-ли вообще не туда...

    -Составляющая тихого прохождения послана в пешое эротическое путешествие, Лара как Джон Рембо берёт автомат и пистолет, апгрэйдит их и идёт воевать, это же так круто. Удалил игру на моменте когда нашел (очередной храм) но тринити его уже взрывает. Можно плыть под водой, но нас подталкивают к тихому убийству чуваков, так вот эта шаболда в любой момент наровит ни просто высунуть голову из воды а сразу залезть к уматным мужикам пообщаться, они естественно стреляют.

    В общем механика жидкая, сюжет жидкий, движок жидкий, в общем моя оценка жижа.
    Ставлю ей 5 мертвый капибар из 10.

    where my Dual Pistols? 3rd game are in and still hasn’t acquired them why? How?

    How exactly was this game Lara defining moment??
    Nothing of character progressing happen!

    same old recycled crap with the story, if you have played rise you have played this
    its the same game dumbed down with the same Story pattern

    I think it’s time this series took another reboot, Heck you know what just remake Tomb Raider 2 and Scarp this origins Crap! and don't use this Boring Lara my Gosh! Paint drying on a wall has a better personality than her at this point!

    I don’t think I’ll be touching another Tomb Raider game until it returns to its platforming Roots with Lara back to her Original Self!

    Positives, Game Play itself is alright, Combat fine, voice acting reasonable, Nice Graphics though I think Rise had better visuals

    As a long time Fan, I'm very disappointed in the direction this franchise has gone

    just go back to the style of Legend with updated Visuals Please and updated Physics you cant screew that up surely

    Bought this game to try out the capabilities of Stadia, so I'm essentially playing on a (remote) PC. Very nice graphics and environment, but the game is really bad.
    Ok, the exploration puzzles are where the game excels, if that's what you like. You pull levers, jump over traps, find contraptions that still work after several centuries, and explore a number of admittedly gorgeous locales.

    Combat is pretty bad, with unsatisfying weapons, a terrible over the shoulder aiming system that enemies take advantage of, and especially obnoxious stealth mechanics. There's a point mid game where you lose all your equipment (oh my god, why do almost all game have to have such a section???) and are forced in a really abysmal sequence. You don't have the freedom of Assassin's Creed: you need to pass through very small areas with forced choke points, and need to find out the exact, scripted sequence that will allow you to beat the level purely by trial and error. First you need to go left and dispose of the first guy with thermal goggles. Then don't kill the other two guys, or enemies will see you. You need to go left, wait for another guy to pass, etc. Zero gameplay freedom, and never mind the fact that all the enemies you kill drop firearms, and yet the game prevents you from picking up any. Boring and irritant as hell!
    Oh, and don't get me started on the genius side quests! For example, one requires you to free four rebels who have been "crucified" through the village as examples. How do you do it? Walk around the village following the map markers and click Y when you reach a prisoner. That's it. And the rest are not much better.
    I cringe at the dialogues going on in the background: I honestly don't think that South America is populated by retarded people who reason like 11 years-old children, and yet they are so simplistically written that I cannot help but feel embarrassed.
    I've played Uncharted 4 not too long ago, and while both games really stretch suspension of disbelief to the limit, U4 has way, way better writing and characterization. Tomb Raider is a feminist dream. You visit a modern jungle village, whose unofficial leader is an exceedingly capable young woman. Then a village lost to time, whose leader is a super-badass-wise-courageous woman, Unuratu. Oh, you also encounter some savage deformed humans, led by - you guessed right - a woman. U4 has a male protagonist but does not misrepresent women, quite the opposite: Helena is a great character who can adventure hand in hand with Nathan, and one enemy is a mercenary gal who repeatedly beats the crap out of Nathan. In Tomb Raider, what do we have? Lara's meek friend-servant Jonah, who never tries to keep up with her at anything, plus a number of dummies, who repeatedly get humiliated, in multiple instances, by the super-ladies in the game. Just pay attention to NPC dialogues, for multiple examples that would never get approved if sexes were switched. Unuratu, the uber queen, repeatedly defeats in combat men who are obviously much, much stronger than her, and at one point stops a whole army of warriors, by herself. Men? They obviously suck, unless they are serving women, in which case they are tolerated. There's a supposed super soldier from the US Special Forces, who can only kill one target person by shooting them in the back, that's about what his super-soldier status amounts to.
    All in all, the gorgeous setting does not save the game, I'm really not enjoying it. I'll try to finish it but I'll probably give up once the inevitable confrontation with the evil stupid male opponents arrives.

    + Outfits

    - The level design and gameplay is incredibly railroaded and linear. You can only swandive off ledges. You can't manually turn on your flashlight. You can't manually duck or crawl. The game is completely filled with 'automatic' 'movielike' moments where Lara climbs something, squeezes through openings where all control is taken away for too long at a time. It's so linear and simple the game is almost a movie where you hold forward and jump or climb occasionally. The only backtracking you'll ever do will be for pointless loot. You don't traverse opens levels, finding keys and opening doors in earlier places. It's non stop A to B on a wheelbarrow sized path with no deviation except for the few hub area's where all you do is just walk around for an hour opening boxes full of crafting material loot.

    - The story script is laughably bad (oh you got locked in this temple basement that was hidden for 4 thousand years? I know a way around see ya there!). During the story on multiple occasions people get caught and imprisoned and it feels completely pointless, arbitrary and dumb like the story was too boring so they just shoved some prisoners in there. You see them get spotted and caught in the cutscenes and it looks like an elementary school stage play. They weren't cornered but instead of running just decide to surrender simply because the writers said they should. It's utterly stupid and breaks any immersion in a believable story. There are a ton of gripes I have with this, from the plane crashing right near the place they have to go to uncivilized savages living literally 300ft from a modern tourist village to the 15 ft open area's with 30 boars running around just to get shot and so on. The writing, story and worldbuilding are DEEPLY mediocre and something you expect out of a first year game design college student not the new AAA Tomb Raider franchise entry.

    - The AI is horrible and the stealth mechanics are crude, inconsistent and flawed. It feels two decades old.

    - The weapons with upgrades look atrocious and you can't unequip suppressors, they are applied to ALL your weapons automatically and are stuck there for the rest of your game. You encounter the first merchant right after you get a pistol. I bought the suppressor thinking it would be a wise investment for one of my pistols. The thing got applied to ALL my future handguns with no way to unequip, looks horrendously ugly and I never even heard the regular pistols without suppressor in the entire game. Weapon model sizes are also messed up. Comically large pistols, toy sized shotguns. Proportions are completely broken.

    - I've encountered a fair amount of bugs and glitches. Lara's model glitching out when platforming, my rifle not firing in full automatic but getting stuck in semi auto, fire puzzle softlocking until I restarted a checkpoint, lara jumping in the wrong direction even with a straight camera and keyboard imputs. Investigating items in the inventory is broken. It's quite bad. And I don't make these accusations lightly, these were 100% actual game problems.

    - Abysmal map variety. Everything starts looking the same, endless jungle, it goes from beautiful to incredibly tedious. On multiple occasions I got so bored knowing I had to go through more of the same I just stopped playing for periods.

    - The skill upgrades and crafting feel tacked on and pointless

    - Very mediocre animal combat. animals just awkwardly nudge you and then you just sorta... fall over dead

    - Lara comes across as very self absorbed. Every time Jonah starts talking about his struggles or missing his family Lara never acknowledges him, asks him about it or anything but instead instantly starts talking about herself and her family and becomes the center of the conversation. It's really awkward.

    - Underwater stealth sections are really, really bad

    - Trinity is an incredibly boring and bland villain. And the same cliché encounters are recycled in every game.

    - Multiple hard crashes. I can't remember the last time a game crashed on me. But SotTR has hard crashed my entire pc multiple times.

    - Skills like bow multishot are finnicky and half the time don't work for sh*t

    - QA missed a lot of faults in map design quality, I can see sunlight peeking through the walls of deep underground caves and temples because level designers missed closing them off properly

    SotTR has a solid base to be something beautiful but it doesn't do anything interesting or engaging and sticks to 6/10-ing every aspect of itself, separating itself from truly great AAA games that rise above by going all in on proper thought out, fleshed out ideas and mechanics. SotTR sticks to old, half baked concepts and it's plagued by a metric ton of lack of polish and proper quality finish in every aspect.

In short, this is **** I absolutely do not recommend it, and it would be even better if you don’t go through it at all, it’s not worth it, don’t spoil the opinion about the franchise with this terrible project!

    I don't usually review games before I finish them, but SotTR is such a big disappointment and a chore to play, I can't bring myself to finish it, even though I'm at the last area (yes, I got that bored I actually looked up how much further I have to slog through this drivel).

I have 100% completed 2013, on both PC and Xbox, and that game had an underrated multiplayer. It did everything right. Rise of the Tomb Raider improved upon it in much the same way that Arkham City improved upon Arkham Asylum. Even though I'm not the target audience for these kind of games, I really appreciated their quality and design, as well as the graphics.

    But Shadow is just inexcusably bad. It might be because it's not Crystal Dynamics. Everything about this game, except the graphics, feels like a step back. The story is even more nonsensical, it's not gripping at all and the characters are very bland. Gameplay-wise, it's 90% exploration of caves and perhaps 5% combat. There's a lot of side quests and collectibles littered around, but you soon realise all of it is pointless, because despite having a large skill tree and lots of weapons, most of them are unusable because the game provides very few opportunities to engage in combat how you want. It's heavily stealth focused, which is fine but a large part of the skill tree and weapons are for aggressive combat. There is very little action in this, the genre this game belongs to can only be described as "adventure"; and that's putting it kindly, given how bland that adventure is.
    So you end up having lots of resoruces and fully upgrading all your weapons, but never get to use them. And then there's the outfits system, which is pointless too in the definitive edition because all the Definitive Edition ones are unlocked from the start, and look a lot better than the ones you unlock throughout the game. The game is just so restrictive with what weapons and outfits you can use, and lacks both good level design and action sequences.
    This largely mirrors my experience with Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: the developers put in a good number of weapons and abilities, but you never get the chance to use them because the game is so thin on actual content, it's mostly filler.

    If all you want is a game that looks good and don't care about gameplay, this is fine. I honestly upgraded to RTX graphics card for this game and was expecting to be amazed, but really it doesn't look THAT much better than Rise. The ray-tracing is for shadows only, and RTX Medium shadows looks better than High or Ultra RTX, and actually RTX off and shadows on Ultra actually looks better in some scenes. So it's just a gimmick. DLSS works reasonably well, but the HDR in this game is horrible, one of the worst I've come across and relies on the Windows setting, not the driver.

    The controls are also a downgrade. Whilst it natively supports DualShock 4, the reload button doesn't work for some reason. The actual traversal of the environment is inconsistent too. Sometimes Lara won't grab ledges, and the path isn't always obvious because of the spacing and lack of clear indicators. The other two games were excellent in this regard, but Shadow just feels off.

    Overall, I can't recommend this game, regardless of whether you enjoyed the previous two in the trilogy. It's very bland, lacks variety and is very thin on action. It's mostly just filler.

    I've never had particularly strong feelings about the Tomb Raider games. I didn't own a PS1, and those games looked kinda crappy anyway. I played the 2013 game on PS3 for that one month that I got Playstation+ for free for the 2011 hack, and I didn't hate it.

    But my goodness, this game is bland.

    I just don't have much in the way of positives to say about this game. I suppose the game plays well on my PC, which shouldn't be an issue at this point, but we all know how PC ports tend to fare. Voice acting is pretty good I suppose, but a lot of the dialog is kinda cringey.

    That's about it, folks.

    The game doesn't look particularly good, especially considering it came out AFTER Horizon Zero Dawn. I mean, I didn't love HZD, but I could at least look around at the world and marvel at it. Lara's face in particular teeters on the edge of uncanny valley; her plastic skin and emotionless eyes just feel uncomfortable. I'd expect a Tomb Raider game - arguably one of the biggest franchises in the world - to look better.

    The gameplay is almost a copy paste of HZD's, which is probably a copy of some other game, but the point is that it's getting kinda old. Grab some branches and junk on the ground, make arrows, shoot arrows into dudes' heads.

    WAIT WHA- SHOOT ARROWS INTO WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??!?!

    And this is the part that felt the strangest of all. It's not like some killing dudes is so unusual for games. It doesn't feel all that strange in games like Uncharted, or even HZD, but here I'm 5 minutes into the game, and Lara just freakin shivs a man to death, then headshots another seconds later, picks up his gun and fookin mows down 10 guys. It's uncomfortably savage, and makes her feel like a murderous sociopath. A bit later there's this big action setpiece in a typhoon/tsunami, and Lara witnesses a child falling to their death. She barely reacts to it, and just a minute later in a cutscene she's all like "WE GOTTA DO OUR MISSION, LET'S GET TO THE CHOPPA" - in a monsoon, no less. How am I supposed to feel sympathy for a character who shows none for a literal child? Sociopath Lara constantly shows up throughout the game. That moment when a father thanks me for murdering a bunch of gangbangers - played completely straight, mind you - is oddly off putting. I mean, yeah, Lara objectively improved his life and saved his son, but I'd be pretty terrified of a complete stranger going on a murderous rampage for my child. The disregard for bad guys' lives is wild, and yet, AND YET, in the final moments of the game, after finally taking out the big bad, the game stops and has the gall to try to make us feel bad for him.

    (ಠ_ಠ)

    On some level, if the action was great I wouldn't get hung over this part so much, but it's really not, and the game really leans hard into the story-telling bits. And since the story's not all that interesting, it tries to lean into its characters. But Lara kinda sucks. There's this sidequest where Lara has to meet up with people who have been shunned from society, and she has to tell some dude what she's learned from interacting with them. Her response is some Tony Robbins self-help garbage. I couldn't believe such bargain bin level inanities could make it into a [Captain Sterling voice] tRiPle AaA [/Captain Sterling voice] video game, but that probably says more about me than the industry, really.

    The truth is, writing this review, it made me appreciate Horizon Zero Dawn more. If you absolutely have to play an open-world adventure game with arrow-based action and crafting, just go play that instead. HZD has a better, bigger open world, that's less linear and railroaded. HZD's story is better, the action is better, the heroine is better, there is more arrow and weapon variety, the upgrades are more interesting... The only thing Tomb Raider has going for it would be the tomb and crypt puzzles, but if you want to do puzzles get a puzzle game instead.

    Thank god for free games on the Epic Store, I'm glad I didn't pay for this.

    The first reboot was amazing and Lara was beautiful and sexy. This is now the politically correct version. The game also has too much pointless walking, no-fun killings and a dumb story. What is outrageous is that there are even socialist agendas in the game, like conversations such as:

    -"They don’t paying us a living wage!!!!!!!!!" - we should have Commie Sanders to do something!

    - "...and they sell the relics for PROFIT" - oh, because profit is so EVIL kiddos!

    - "They are after money, not history!" - because money is so BAD kiddos, and the two can't go together at all.

    -"The oil company left us when the oil price went down!" - because they should have stayed there and working for losses, right? Oh those greedy bastards, they wanted to keep their company!

    Outrageous, and you even paying for the propaganda!

    This game is definitely for 12-year olds, and not above. They can jump and run and swim all the way.

    But again, her sad looking face is the most irritating. Her partner's face is also mostly sad-looking.

About game, control and playing. I could not see a huge difference if I look at the graphics quality. It looks like Rise of the Tomb Raider. If you want Tomb Raider to be a different game from others which are compared with it, first make something different such as graphics and well-scenario which is NOT predictable, tedious and monotonous. I am not really that kind of person who is obsessed with graphics but in these years, graphics is considered as an important feature and I want this game series to be known well. Secondly, awful game mechanics. It destroyed the game play in some parts. To continue, Lara… As a woman gamer, I even didn’t have any problem with Lara’s old look (big boobs, good body or sexy clothes etc.) She is not a model, but she looks like she is -in new games. I really wanted to see Lara’s classic outfit for the new game, and her dual pistols. Huge disappointment. The first thing comes to mind is her dual pistols, not an arrow.

    3. The story is so unclear and boring, that at the end of the game I wasn't sure what's the problem with Paititi and who is Dr. Dominguez.
    4. There is less freedom than in the previous part. This game leads you even if you don't want that. It always blocks some parts of the map and moves or restricts the camera (POV) depending on the current quest. Seems like the game treats us like a 6-year old children.
    5. Face animations. Sometimes normal, sometimes ugly. Kind of Mass Effect Andromeda.

    It gets 4 points because of a good fighting/stealth, and quite interesting tombs.

Overdramatic, and always spoiling the good moment by commenting the obvious. And she looks boring too.

    2. Gameplay: Controls would be fine, if gameplay was not interrupted by tons of cutscenes or forced to slow down for dramatic effects or to emphasize Laras whine over radio. Once you get through the main game you can start the more interesting side quests and challenges.

    My advice for original Tomb Raider fans: get through the main story in a rush, then change Laras appearance to an old version and switch off her annoying voice. Now the game becomes actually very nice and there are still plenty of things to discover in side missions.

    I can't comment on the main storyline as i either skipped the damn cutscenes (if possible) or cut the sound and walked away until the cutscene was over (if skipping was impossible).

    As a Tomb Raider fan since the very beginning, i feel sorry for how Lara Crofts character has been sabotaged. I mean HELLO? this is a computer game! There really is no need to have your depressed girl next door in the main role just for political correctness.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a pretty game, but it’s a complete slog to play. It provides an excellent example of how the focus on graphics of the “Triple A” space of the game industry is causing serious detriment to the overall quality of games.

    The graphics, being the game’s greatest strength, are also one of its greatest weaknesses. Environments are very pretty, but they’re busy to the point of making it nearly impossible to navigate. The game has a perception key that provides a quest marker and highlights (some) interactable objects, and you’ll find yourself having to press it every five seconds while playing. Even then, you’ll frequently struggle with trying to figure out which piece of hanging rope is important and which of the 57 rock ledges can be grabbed. While environments are varied, the game’s animations are too repetitive. You’ll frequently see the same loop for deaths, taking breaths while swimming, shuffling under things, squeezing through openings, and many other actions.

    The controls are unintuitive, taking hours to learn and even then requiring prompts for some of the obscure actions. Once the player has learned them, they still don’t work consistently, usually killing the player when they decide not to.

    Worldbuilding is rather poor. The modern areas were interesting and believable, but the generic NPCs are utterly lifeless, just repeating the same actions repeatedly and having little to no interactivity. The ruins, meanwhile, often seem to exist for the sake of ruins. They’ll be in places that seem logistically impossible, lack any sort of sensible access and entrances, and just overall be in better condition than seems probable. There are also things which seem to exist purely for getting in the player’s way. For example, at one point the player has to lower an ancient drawbridge to get across a river. Why would there be a drawbridge in a civilization with no river traffic beyond canoes? There are numerous examples of puzzles and environments like this, where there appears to be no logical basis for the existence of these constructions. Another issue with worldbuilding regards the hostile animals. The player can be attacked by piranhas, which instantly kills them. In reality, piranhas are relatively docile regarding humans, and in the case that they do attack one, they’ll cause minor injuries and are almost never fatal. The player can also be attacked by jaguars, which is incredibly rare unless cornered, as they’re afraid of humans. Multiple jaguars can attack the player at once, which is another mathematical impossibility, because they’re solitary animals.

    The writing was bad at times, but the overall story was interesting (at least the first third was, as I couldn’t stand the gameplay beyond that point). Dialogue was good and the voice acting excellent, but the protagonists were frequently saved by deus ex machina and plot holes were prevalent. Characters also seemed fairly one dimensional, with a few exceptions such as Jonah.

    There are issues with the camera. In cramped areas, it often gets stuck on rocks, leaving you unable to see what you’re doing, and when you aim your weapons, it jitters and makes hitting your targets difficult.

    The game suffers from poorly-implemented cutscenes. Control is frequently taken from the player for seemingly no reason, and it’s not always clear when it’s been returned. In hostile environments, this can kill the player. There are other instances where the game effectively has a cutscene, but it requires the player to hold the forward key for progression. You can’t even control the camera in these instances. What is the point?

    The stealth is poor, and it is the reason that I gave up on the game. When using stealth, enemies act practically brain-dead, but they generally stay next to each other such that killing one alerts the rest. If you do alert the enemies, then your chances of using stealth are over. This is fine for the first third of the game, as you could use stealth to take down a few enemies that were separated and then take up a defensive position for gunning the rest down. The problem arose when the game decided that, despite the presence of loaded weaponry and lack of penalty for allowing the firing of said weaponry, you just weren’t allowed to use it. I personally couldn’t stand spending half an hour to kill six enemies, especially when the means to kill them all in less than five seconds existed but was simply barred from me for no good reason, so I gave up.

    All in all, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a very pretty game. It’s just not fun to play. The budget needed to be spent on better playtesting rather than graphics. The overall story is what kept me playing for as long as I did, but the plot could have been better-written rather than relying so heavily on cliches and highly improbable occurrences. Furthermore, the characters could be better-developed.

It starts relatively good but the story and the gameplay have no coherence and this makes the game hard to play. The characters personalities are weak and there is simply no motivation or enough immersion to continue playing it.

    Throughout the game you feel you do exactly the same things over and over like collecting items, climbing and running around. There is no clear purpose and sadly, quantity triumphs over quality. This is really a waste of time and money...

    Скучный клон второй части:

    Combat system got worst, the half baked stealth combat is just bad with sometimes dumb AI or incredible good AI that will just know where you are and tracking bullets that will hit you no matter what (also sometimes you will need one and half a clip to kill an enemy)

    Main campaign puzzles are bad and easy, and tombs while I haven't complete them all yet I can say they're all right... (prob the only saving point of this game) explorations there isn't much to do most of the game is linear even when you go away from the main campain history you will always have a 1 path to fallow regardless so finding tombs is not that hard.

    Bad game, buy it only if you really really really are a fan or want to do the tombs but for history don't expect to be entertained. ONly buy if is 75% off I regreat buying it when it was 50% off tbh.....

    ALSO I CAN'T POST REVIEW ON STEAM FOR W/E REASON THEY ARE CENSORING US!!!!!!

    I thought the first Tomb Raider reboot was amazing, the second one Rise of the Tomb Raider, was not quite as exhilarating but had fantastic set pieces.

    Unfortunately, I really had to force myself to finish this one, and having looked forward to it so much I am extremely disappointed. There were virtually no satisfying combat moments, too much pointless wondering around areas, far too much cutscene based "story" which, by the way, was totally insipid, vapid and morally patronising. It's like the devs thought the main demographic that plays Tomb Raider games are 12 yr old girls or something that they have some moral responsibility to educate. There were many cutscene based dialogue moments that just didn't need to be in the game, like Lara taking the parasite out of Jonas' arm. What the hell was the point of that scene and dialogue?

    This new Lara has now being constrained to simply a "safe" role model for young feminists / girls and has lost all her sultry sexiness and backbone which made her so appealing in the first game. The other characters in the story were all so "PG" too. There's not even a real bad guy in the story, the bad guy ends up being kinda "nice" too!

    Too safe, Too vapid, Too vanilla. Too weak.

    On the positive it's entirely safe to let your 5 year old daughter play it, which was probably the intention.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It would seem Rhianna Pratchett was fired, BUT Jill Murray intercepted Pratchett's baton, I don't even know where the script is worse in the previous two games or in the Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

    - The conscious deterioration of Lara's face compared to the Rise of the Tomb Raider
    - Lack of plot. Instead of it nonsense
    - Small locations, while the game lagging
    - Absolutely uninteresting characters
    - Secondary quests - one of the worst in the gaming industry
    - The lack of any motivation for the characters to do what they do, especially Lara, one side she helps the "naked ass" tribe, on the other hand she kills everyone on her way
    - ORCS in Latin America - what kind of drugs does Jill Murray use ?
    - ORCS do not react to shots at close range by a shotgun, you need to shoot at least twice or thrice
    - Initial data: on the one hand, the orcs with spears and arrows, on the other hand, well-armed militants in body armor and helmets, with the support of an armored personnel carrier, and several combat helicopters. What is the result? Victory of Orcs.
    - Foxes either coyotes the size of an elephant, in which you need to put a half of the charger of the machine gun to pacify their.
    - Unnecessary hunting
    - Tombs have become more than in the previous two games, but they are easy and not interesting
    - The game is full of bugs, for example, in the tomb, where you need to close the "curtains" the wind continues to blow even with the curtains closed, or the quest "echo of the past" cannot be passed, because the Abby does not appear in the house of the granny, and the granny herself mumbles some nonsense standing at the entrance of the house.
    - Jonah underwent plastic surgery, why is he needed in the game ? Better would have added girlfriend for Lara xD
    - Lara is Rambo, or Predator is not very clear.

    In short, this is the worst game of relaunch trilogy.

    I wanna give my opinion about this game but also don't want to lose time with it so i will try to make this brief.

    Im was a very passionate about the series and if somehow you made me forget about this game, i would still be. So i bought the game, over-priced, 2 months before the release, so hyped because at the time i had ended 100% of Rise of the Tomb Raider and i loved the entire game, top to bottom, so the premise of this game being the end of those two amazing previously games got me so hooked up.

    Wish i had saw this coming... the game released with some bugs, not letting me play for the first weeks, which i found funny, cause i paid more for some "limited offer" that had last 3 to 4 months after the release, i couldn't play in the miserable two days that they have "given" for those who pre-ordered and after 1 month they put the game on sale. This scenario enraged me, made me feel scammed and this why my score is a big zero, if this was not happened to me, i would give a 3 or 4, and here's why:
    - The color scheme sometimes gave me feeling of tiredness, i believe the darker greens makes this.
    - The idea of the plot is good, but poorly executed, which made the game boring and pointless until the end.
    - The end which you would expect something meaningful for a end of a trilogy and the end of the prelude, that will lead us for the classic Lara, there's nothing special, doesn't look like at a end for this game, and if you'd to guess that the remake for the classics come next, you'll never.
    - Last boss, doesn't look like a boss, just a regular enemy that you didn't hit kill.
    - The controls sometimes didn't respond to my commands making Lara skip some commands, for jumps, most frequently.
    - The limitation for outfits in some areas. [BAD]
    - The DLCs not adding nothing important to the plot.
    - The predominance of tribal outfits. [BAD]
    - The only good points are the attempt to make Lara an "anti-hero" and the "enraged Lara" scene.

    And that's it.

    It is a welcome change that this time you have almost no combat, the "arenas" created for it look nice, with tons of ammo and you are supposed to do stealth, but the stealth is not very good and you end up using the bow from the same position a lot.

    is it fun? , not really, a lot of grinding beyond the story to egt achievements, but if you liked the first two games in this trilogy, you will LOVE this one.

Crazy to think Lara Croft was once known as a badass dual-pistol-wielding, T-Rex fighting, motorcycle riding chick that was fearless, sexy, and all about raiding tombs.... in the late 90s. Fast forward to 2018, Lara Croft has now become one of the most boring characters in existence and her adventures consist of the same old Croft family melodrama the writers have been milking to DEATH, and hundreds upon hundreds of RPG-like NPC characters cosplaying as important side characters you should apparently care about. And then there's the ultimate king of all simps, Jonah.....

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider, like so many other video games released recently, suffers greatly from the era during which it was released. In an attempt to appear inclusive, woke, and SJW-friendly game studios annually churn out bland, uninspired, and boring products with mediocre stories and characters. The game even begins with a short paragraph upon start that informs the player of its own inclusiveness. All that just to appease trigger-happy SJWs always ready to cause a social media storm (there are many indigenous tribes portrayed in this game that could potentially result in allegations of racism/cultural appropriations). That alone should've been a huge warning sign for me. As if the previous two titles -- Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015) and Tomb Raider (2013) weren't bland, boring, and uninspired enough, Shadow of the Tomb Raider continues the tradition set by its boring predecessors from featuring classic Hollywood cliched plot & awful characters to gameplay that attempts to be everything other than a good Tomb Raider game. Gone are the days of intricate puzzles, atmospheric exploration, and immaculate score -- Tomb Raider has essentially become a glorified hunting simulator, and is just few steps away from being a full on RPG grind fest. These new games are really not Tomb Raider games, they just happen to include that name in their titles.

    To say this final chapter in Lara Croft's never ending origin story left a bitter taste in my mouth would be an understatement. The franchise is almost like a study in "can Crystal Dynamics possibly get Tomb Raider even MORE WRONG?" -- the people who own the Tomb Raider brand know zilch about why the original games are such highly valued classics, and as a fan of Tomb Raider and Lara Croft since 1996 -- this is extremely frustrating. I'm not gonna play the whole silly "it's not a bad game, it's just not a good Tomb Raider game" nonsense many have succumbed to. That might've been valid for the first two titles in the reboot series, but Shadow of the Tomb Raider is just NOT fun to play. PERIODT. It's a tedious and soulless experience.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an incredibly immersive and thrilling adventure game that left me thoroughly impressed. The game features stunning graphics, engaging gameplay, and a captivating storyline that kept me hooked from start to finish.

    The game's protagonist, Lara Croft, is on a mission to save the world from the deadly Trinity organization. Along the way, she discovers ancient artifacts and must use her skills and wit to overcome obstacles and enemies. The game's environments are beautifully rendered, from the lush jungles of South America to the ancient ruins of Incan civilization.

    The game's combat system is intuitive and satisfying, allowing for a variety of strategies and approaches to take down enemies. Whether sneaking around in the shadows or going in guns blazing, the game provides ample opportunities to test your skills and abilities.

    The puzzles in Shadow of the Tomb Raider are challenging but not frustrating, with solutions that are both logical and rewarding. The game also offers a wealth of side quests and challenges, adding depth and replayability to an already excellent experience.

    Overall, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a fantastic game that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys adventure, action, and exploration. It's a testament to the power of modern gaming and a worthy addition to the Tomb Raider franchise.
