    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.    … Expand

    I am shocked by the positive reviews this game is getting. It's pretty, but beyond that, it's not a good game. The story is predictable, the gameplay is dumbed down to pointlessness. It's everything I hate about the consolification of games. Not a good game. Reviews are way off.

    The worst in the series, the story is so bad and uninspiring. The controls is not responsive sometimes when trying to climb. The graphics are good for the most time , but sometimes it can be really ugly.

    I loved the other two games and played them a lot, this game I will not!

    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.    … Expand

    What a complete disappointment.

    Finally got around to playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider just recently as I wanted to wait until I got my new computer to play the game. So here are my thoughts: Graphics: A massive mixed bag, the in game cut scenes look fantastic as well as the lighting and overall the game looks pretty solid, however sometimes the game is just downright ugly with    What a complete disappointment.

    Finally got around to playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider just recently as I wanted to wait until I got my new computer to play the game. So here are my thoughts:

    Graphics: A massive mixed bag, the in game cut scenes look fantastic as well as the lighting and overall the game looks pretty solid, however sometimes the game is just downright ugly with washed out colours, characters looking clay-like and the game often looking pixelated especially background scenery.

    Gameplay: Very similar to Rise of the Tomb Raider, except Rise of the Tomb Raider took what was good about its predecessor and improved upon it. Shadow does the opposite of this with few additions to the Rise gameplay and the game just feels so much clunkier than Rise as well as being frustrating at times with quick time events and bad level design with the game feeling incredibly linear. The game also punishes you for going stealth with the bow being practically useless since most enemies take multiple hits to kill regardless of headshots, better off going guns blazing like Uncharted.

    Story: It sucks, the devs clearly didn't care about the story so why should I? Cookie cutter two dimensional characters that are picked up and dropped like a rock, peoples motivations aren't explained and Lara is the only character that is likeable (just barely)

    Audio: The music is pretty decent, however the audio will cut out at times and the lip syncing will also go out of sync from time to time.

    Overall: To sum up, the game is noticeably worse than its predecessors. The game is too linear and holds your hand tightly with incredibly uninspired level design. It looks pretty good visually (for the most), the gameplay is fine (even though its forgettable) and the story, well you won't remember it after a day. Sadly the game is just mediocre, maybe pick it up in a couple of years during a Steam sale for $5? Almost forgot to mention, the game has quite a few bugs including visual bugs, audio bugs and gameplay bugs that require you to reload from the last checkpoint. Have fun :)

    Edit: Also realised I missed an entire scene (the cool scene where she rises from the water with flames etc) as the game just skipped it, the scene just didn't happen it cut past it, just another bug worth pointing out.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    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.

    Lara Croft massacres people. She kills them from up close, with knives through their back, from the shadows. And after slaughtering a few men, she can talk to an NPC and hear that he's sad, and suddenly her puppy eyes look so sad as well. She seems like a machine that learned the motion. I can't buy her air of fragility when she keeps massacring people - where's the PTSD? Feeling of regret? Even thoughts of "am I right in doing that?". No sir, she storms the tombs like a one person storm trooper, and feels nothing. I'm having difficulties finishing the game because this is chilling my blood. My own protagonist scares me.

    Трилогия начинается привычно не плохо, с завязкой о неудачном вмешательстве мисс Крофт в работу артефакта и начало то ли конца света, то ли просто ужасных катаклизмов.

Теперь понятно почему ее бросил играть на старте и так не добрался вновь товарищ. Впрочем без бреда Рианны Пратчетт все стало намного адекватнее и приземлёнее. Сама по себе игра остается все той же Расхитительницей, но уже без интереса первой части перезапуска, при отсутствии русофобского бреда второй.
    И на том спасибо. Геймплейно ничего толком не изменилось. Бегаете туда-сюда, стреляетесь да решаете головоломки. Хваленный стелс скучный и на самом высоком уровне сложности не возникает желания пройти тихо локацию, так как проще просто снести тупейших ботов и пройти далее. И из этого вываливается проблема после прохождения нельзя добить убийства, которые остались со способностями или под бустами, тк системы столкновений из того же Анчартед банально нет. ФРиплей есть чисто дособрать артефакты и гробницы, но не добить боевые достижения. Глупо получается и не менее глупо, что спустя три года не починен квест в невидимым Писко, которому невозможно сдать квест.
    Какая же халтура, Скворечник!
    Фактически 20 часов Крофт и игрок просто бегают по условно открытым локациям с некоторым количеством НПС, которые и дают информацию и указания на секреты в окрестностях. За 20-30 часов решать головоломки не надоедает, что позволяет не заскучать смертельно, но все равно сквозное сравнение с Анчартед Тумб Райдер не выдерживает. Плюс хочу отметить, что даже спустя два года с релиза словил одинаковые баги с невидимыми НПС, дающие квесты без диалогов. Смотрится разговор Лары со стеной, об этом баге уже упоминал ранее, довольно нелепо! Нельзя списать уже на сырость игры , тк прошло достаточно времени. Это не РПГ на 200 часов, а бродилка со всеми DLC на 45! Как так?!
    Вердикт прост: на распродаже берите полное издание и ни в коем случае не за полный ценник. Скворечник нужно отучать от привычки резать свои игры и продавать в виде DLC с багами.
    Им видимо было мало разгромленных за это Deus Ex и той же Ларки с допом на час про Бабу Ягу.
    Хватит уже рвать игры на части!
    Посему несмотря на качественно проведенную работу над ошибками только строго четверка с минусом.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider isn't a bad game, but it falls short.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider plays it way too safe. It feels like I am playing a big story DLC for Rise of the Tomb Raider.

There are improves here and there, but the game lacks the polish Rise had.    Shadow of the Tomb Raider isn't a bad game, but it falls short.

There are improves here and there, but the game lacks the polish Rise had. Animations are jankier, optimization seems worse, clipping, glitches are more evident. But again, its not horrible, but noticable.

    Story wise, the game actually makes you kinda hate Lara. She essentially makes a huge mistake, doesn't own up to it, and tries going right back to again save the world from Trinity! Not only do I hate playing as the main character, but her reason to exist is to fight Trinity. Again, the story is played too safe by just continuing the Trinity organization that I thought ended in Rise. Can we atleast be fighting something different now?

    Originally, I was not going to review this game. After though of hearing the review bombing because of the discount weeks after release, I decided that I couldn't give the game a pass anymore. It was the build up of everything wrong with this game, and the discount was just the cherry on the top. It shows alot when a game is put on sale weeks after release, not to the customers who willing bought the game, but to the publisher essentially showing their newly released game isn't worth $60, never mind the boat loads for the other editions.

    --The Missteps of Shadow of the Tomb Raider--
    Planning DLC before the game's release.
    Ridiculous DLC pricing, pre-orders, and editions.
    Focusing on RTX NVIDIA technology instead of core elements of the game.
    Still using Denuvo...
    Playing it too safe, gameplay and story wise.
    Making you hate Lara.

    What I liked (in general and in comparison with Larisa in 2016):
    - the well-designed jungle: they really look alive and full of some kind of plausible flora and fauna.
    - the story went a little bit into a more personal adventure and added a little drama (just a little bit).
    - there were hubs (cities) with their lives and population (albeit scripted).
    - added some new mechanics, but they could have been added before because they would have fit into the overall gameplay.
    - The motivation of the antagonist is pleasing - at least not typical for villains of this genre of games.
    What I did not like (in general, and compared to Larissa in 2016):
    - everything is super scripted: somewhere the game helps you on purpose, and somewhere you can't get caught in the obvious ledge or jump on a plane.
    - the characters' experiences and their "game" are too underplayed in all aspects.
    - the game has turned out to be a hyper simple - as example: a skill that allows you to no longer press the lead button and more other things.
    - the passage of tombs and crypts does not motivate anybody to get some really useful cookie after passing a couple of such places.
    - for me personally, being able to kraft and change clothes is a completely useless thing in the game.
    - expected more drama from the story, and in the end only 2 or 3 scenes/levels were remembered and that's it.
    - sad from the ending at all, because I didn't expect it to be the same. But on the plus side, at least she's somehow ending Larissa's dialogue/triology of adventure.
    - the main character's appearance is less attractive, but the hips are still good.    … Expand

    - 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

    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.
