    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.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.    … Expand

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.

    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.

    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

    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.    … Expand

    - 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.    … Expand

    The only improvement I like in this game are the power up plants.    … 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.
