Jan 28, 2021Poor little rich girl Lara Croft white knighting her way around South America saving the indigenous people while pilfering any relic that isn't nailed down. Mechanically solid, but the narrative is at best dull, and more often cringe worthy.

Aug 31, 2019It looks like low budget project. Most of man npc with same face. Bad storyline.

Nov 1, 2018Wonky mechanics, outdated character graphics, weird facial animations, bland level design, cliché story and villain, uninspiring puzzles, unsatisfying combat.. all make for quite a boring game indeed. And that's after downloading an 11GB patch. If you were hoping for something even remotely close to the quality of the 2013 installment, let alone an Uncharted game, you will be sorely disappointed.

Feb 26, 2019If the dialog doesn't make your eyes roll, the dialog delivery of many of the NPCs will. I know this remote village in Peru does not all speak perfect English. I'm fine with reading subtitles because that at least makes the game feel less cheap. I like learning about the mythology through finding items but this just feels like all digging around and no story.

Oct 13, 2018I think this is a step back after the first two of this trilogy. The story and pacing is not good...Nothing new to the gameplay, and without those huge jawdropping scenes the other games delivered. Rise of the Tomb Raider had it all right and progressed everything from the first game, that I also loved. But Shadow are just weak in comparison, and it makes me sad.

Feb 27, 2021The Tombs are great visually and mechanically, most of them. All else is somewhat normal if not bad. Action sequences are worst part of the game.
Changed score to 4 after playing DLC. -
Dec 28, 2018Ho aspettato questo capito con grande entusiasmo peccato che lo abbia trovato di una noia assoluta e per nulla coinvolgente, tra l'altro anche molto corto. Non è lontanamente paragonabile ai due capitoli precedenti. Grandissima delusione.

Oct 23, 2018This game feels like someone got an uncharted script, immediately shredded it, tried to glue it back together from the shredded pieces, and then got a tomb raider fanboy, who only played the ps1 version of the games, to fill in the gaps.

Apr 28, 2020Confusing plot and boring gameplay. There is so much potential to Lara’s story and character but the game threw it away.
-
Jun 26, 2020The worst in the trilogy BY FAR.
The game is more of the same but with way less enemies and a lot more piss easy puzzle sections which feel boring to play through. Also the story feels very rushed, full of uninteresting characters and mcGufinns.
The game looks good, expecially the tombs, which makes raiding them better, but playing it feels like a chore, I stopped playing it about 70% through. -
Jun 25, 2021Stunning graphics, disappointingly boring story. I never found it interesting. Clunky and graceless gameplay.
-
Nov 17, 2020nonsensical story with clunky gameplay and ugly graphics, the sound is horrible and the game has a lot of bugs
-
May 22, 2022Wow, talk about tedious puzzles...just so boring. And I didn't care at all about the story or what was going on as there is so little to engage with. Massive disappointment after previous instalments. Also, that accent on Lara...simply awful voice acting. Where is the excitement of working out how to get through the tombs, and where are the battles? I'd advise to avoid this one.

Dec 24, 2020Poor story telling and voice acting.Poor rpg elements poor crafting inventory elements.Even if u wann craft somethıng it feels like u doing it for nothing.You never feel anything about anyone.Scenario is a dissapoitment. Gun fight is totally useless. Therefore upgrades is feel useless. Total dissapoitment
-
Jan 13, 2021Just all around bad. The open world is wasted because its presented as a linear level type progression. The stealth is terrible and buggy. Exploration isnt even that fun either as it's all just the same design. The final level puts it all together. Bullet sponge bosses to combat with your ineffective weapons, and addthar are just as equally bullet sponges

May 4, 2021Story that doesn't make any sense
Short game in total (which I'm unsure if it for good or bad)
Indifferent as to what weapons to upgrade, you just do them all
Some skills you never manage to use them in the game
It's just all wrong. There are so many games out there that set a high standard and TR failed to even reach it -

Jun 16, 2021Don't play this crap, go re-play Rise instead. I finished all the dlc's so i dont feel like i wasted my money LOL
-
Jun 27, 2021lento, molto lento da tomb raider non ti aspetti questo. devi esplorare risolvere enigmi e qualche volta combattere. la grafica è nella media ma nulla di straordinario

Mar 11, 2019Shallow story aside, Shadow of the Tomb Raider has the best tomb exploration in the series, and that’s what it’s all about.
-
LEVEL (Czech Republic)Dec 31, 2018Still very good, but in some ways weaker than the previous game. Still, fans shouldn’t miss it, just because it is the conclusion of the trilogy. [Issue#289]

Oct 22, 2018Shadow of the Tomb Raider should leave us wanting more from the rebooted Lara Croft game, but with some clunky controls and a lazy combat system, what saves the game from being below average are beautiful visuals, fantastic puzzles and tomb layouts along with true adventuring. It’s as mixed up of a bag as one can get.
