    Don't finished TR2013 because of too many shooting instead of puzzles and exploring. Sometimes I've thought of Battlefield. But this time it has good balance. More tombs. Very good graphics (artists of all sorts did a colossal work). Not cool storytelling when some heroes coming from nowhere like gods when same time Lara was on edge between life and death )

    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.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider strives to introduce new but very unnecessary mechanics on its playability, to give as a result a very week narrative and story, a very weird pacing on its gameplay but a puzzle and exploration component very strong, which will make you think twice when solving its tombs and to keep your eyes very open in the middle of the exploration of an open area, but still itShadow of the Tomb Raider strives to introduce new but very unnecessary mechanics on its playability, to give as a result a very week narrative and story, a very weird pacing on its gameplay but a puzzle and exploration component very strong, which will make you think twice when solving its tombs and to keep your eyes very open in the middle of the exploration of an open area, but still it feels like it remained way behind the evolution of games of its same genre.

    Nevertheless, I must admit it is the game that most sticks to the nature of old Tomb Raider games, but because of this it stuck itself in a very ancient formula in terms of mechanics.

    The story itself is the most mediocre of the trilogy, while it was meant to show us how Lara evolved since the first game in terms of how she sees the world of a treasure hunter, she suddenly takes a dagger perfectly placed in the deep of a cave just as an ancient and valuable treasure would be without taking into account its consequences, which she actually did in previous games, so this intermediately contradicts the aim of the game of showing "a raper Lara".

    One of the few things that stand out of this slight mess are its visuals, achieving spectacular landscapes and a very detailed modeling and illumination, turning into one of the games with most awesome visuals of this generation, but this seems quite opaqued for its questionable optimization, in which it's worth to say this game its protected by the Denuvo anti-tamper, which obviously repercutes negatively on its performance.

    Conclusion: at least that you have a +$1500 worth PC, I wouldn't recommend you to buy this game in this platform. Shadow of the Tomb Raider fails on the good story-telling that previous game achieved, sometimes feeling it takes you thorough kind of randomized scenes in a single sequence, introducing little creative mechanics on its gameplay worth to call it a new part of the series due to its desire of sticking to the firsts Lara Croft games, staying way behind the rest of its genre games. Nevertheless, this desire its worth to highlight from the developers although they didn't carry through the concept very well and evolving the exploration and tombs concept of the series.

    Recommended price: under $25    … Expand

    Boring story. Great gameplay. That's really all there is to say about this game. It's a good game, but I can't help but be a tiny bit disappointed. Still, I had fun and I'm glad to have played it.

He is unresponsive and he has no soul). Are we in a battle or are we in a journey with Lara? I could not decide, you choose if you really know what’s been going on for years in the games. 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. About personality, did you realize that Lara is ready to cry in new games? Come on! Please do not touch and destroy Lara and her journeys anymore OR get help from people who knows what Tomb Raider is!… Expand

    ИМХО это лучшая чать серии, хоть и не без проблем.

    Плюсы: -Красивая графика, при хорошей, по сравнению с прошлой частью, оптимизацией (мое среднестатистическое корыто спокойно вытягивало на высоких, когда тот же Rise на средних-высоких едва выдерживал планку в 30 фпс) -Шикарный левел дизайн, хочется обследовать каждый уголок, каждой локации. -Живая Лара, за которой интересно    ИМХО это лучшая чать серии, хоть и не без проблем.

    Плюсы:
    -Красивая графика, при хорошей, по сравнению с прошлой частью, оптимизацией (мое среднестатистическое корыто спокойно вытягивало на высоких, когда тот же Rise на средних-высоких едва выдерживал планку в 30 фпс)
    -Шикарный левел дизайн, хочется обследовать каждый уголок, каждой локации.
    -Живая Лара, за которой интересно наблюдать. Это не вечно ноющая тряпка и первой части, это не скучная и не харизматичная телка из второй, а настоящая, живая Лара, со своим сформировавшимся характером и со своими загонами в голове. Она не играет ангела, она руководствуется своими мотивами, она достигает своей цели даже если потребуется отнять пару десятков жизней. (Но с того "брутального" момента на нефтезаводе я проорался в голосину, это было уже лишнее)
    -В этой части есть атмосфера, в понятие атмосферы я включаю музыку, освещение, левел дизайн, записки и артефакты, расширяющие лор игры. В первой части атмосферы не было совсем, во второй появился её зачаток, в Shadow у них наконец она получилось.

    Минусы:
    -Не самый лучший сюжет, не то чтобы он говно, но куча непроработанных деталей в нем (жители пайтити говорят на английском, современные спутники по каким-то причинам до сих пор не обнаружили целую цивилизацию на Косумеле, перечислять всех не буду, это уже сделали вместо меня, все кому не лень) оставляют не самое приятное впечатление.
    -Не самое приятное управление, Лара так и норовит сорваться куда-нибудь (по сравнению с Rise эту проблему серьезно подправили, но не устранили полностью)
    -Почти все механики игры из прошлых частей, по геймплею создается ощущение, что играешь в крупное DLC для одной из прошлых игр, а не в новую часть серии.
    -Иона в вечной френдзоне, бесит)

    Игру уже успел пройти 2 раза и крайне рекомендую поиграть вам. Не понимаю почему она так не зашла критикам (которые ставят девятки таким стремным играм как FC5, лол)

    Easy stuff out of the way, graphics are GREAT. Sound design and music are both GREAT. Set pieces and art design is GREAT. Voice acting and acting are good. Story is absolutely forgettable.

    So what makes this game a 6/10? The questionable gameplay loop that focuses on exploration and puzzles. Don't get me wrong, the puzzles and the exploration are good, but they tend to drag on for so long without seeing something to shoot or someone to talk to (no, Lara radioing in to report to an ally does not count as meaningful conversation!). It gets boring solving the really long puzzles, no matter how inventive and creative it gets.

    And then there are really long bouts of running around villages, talking to people, and looting stuff. It's just...boring. Especially since Lara are Jonah are the only recurring characters, Lara never seems to create meaningful bonds with other characters. This fits Lara's rather nomadic, adventurer personality, but it makes for a lifeless world. A game series with long "village" loops (lots of running around, doing sidequests, talking to NPCs) that works is the Mass Effect series (not counting the train wreck that is Andromeda). Why? Because your player character has agency - you can affect the outcome of the quests. Plus, a lot of the quests directly involve party members, so it's fun to see how your party members react to/affect your questline. ROTTR has absolutely NONE of those fun elements.

    What I'm getting at is that the game inherently has a weird gameplay loop and gameplay design with overly long segments. Puzzles drag on per segment, village exploration drags on per segment, combat areas drag on as well. With the way the world is structured, there's just no way around this kind of gameplay loop. A game with a fun puzzle-exploration-combat loop was Darksiders II. The puzzle solving was easily broken up with bouts of fighting enemies and bosses; this makes all the difference. ROTTR can't do that because it's rooted in semi-realism - enemies can't just pop up in between puzzles to break up the monotony unlike Darksiders II.

    To be honest, I'm glad this series is over. This gritty, realistic Lara is cool (super hot, super badass, nice soothing voice, etc.), but she and the world around her is boring, and that's despite the supernatural elements interspersed in the game. I think the franchise needs to return to the more action-oriented, fantastical Tomb Raider; this trilogy is an instance where semi-realism gets in the way of good gameplay. Gameplay > realism ALWAYS. Game dev 101.

    I hope this trilogy doesn't kill the Tomb Raider series, because it has so much potential. The devs just need to have fun with it. Give Lara interesting guns, make her stronger, more agile, and all-around more fun to play as. Give her enemies greater depth and variety, realism be damned. Make her fight ancient terrifying monsters, large and small, on a regular basis, not just towards the climax. Make it a large, semi-open world (the one thing Andromeda got right) where she can be badass and ride a dirtbike loaded with her badass gear. Give her a small group of allies that stay with her throughout the journey that comment on her choices and her adventures. Give her agency over questlines. Insert fun and interesting ways to break up puzzle-solving and exploration. Give more meaningful weapon customization. The sky is the limit. There is so much that can be done to revitalize this franchise gone wrong. And for goodness' sake, GIVE HER BACK THE SIGNATURE DUAL PISTOLS, REALISM.BE.DAMNED.    … Expand

However, there is little progress in the quality of the graphic, the level of suppression of the game is first-class, and the difficulty of solving the mystery of the tomb tends to be normal.
    Also, the existence of the branch task enriches the plot of the main line. The atmosphere rendering and design of the ancient tomb transcends the previous one. On the other hand, I have witnessed Lara's growth from a beginner to a real "Tomb Raider". She has experienced ups and downs and has become more mature than the lost Lara before. She knows what she should do and still has her own center in choosing between them. The relatively mild outcome is also in line with expectations.    … Expand

(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.

    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

    -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.

    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    Its ok, I guess. I liked Rise of the Tomb Raider much more.

    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.    … Expand

    Lara’s new adventure is definitely the best in trilogy, but it still lags behind the leaders of action-adventure genre, such as Uncharted 4. [Issue #233, p.44]

    Tomb Raider was personal because it was personal. But now it’s come full circle to yet another vapid videogame character muddling through bad writing, rote familiar gameplay, and fewer features than the last time. Wake me when the next reboot is here.

    The new Tomb Raider shows Lara Croft as an empty character that has nothing inside.
