    Visually Stunning! I play these games for the adventure/exploration mostly & this game delivered on that front. The kind of vibe you get when exploring in the first two games & reminiscent of Uncharted series, for visuals it's a 10/10. I captured so many spectacular pics & videos.

    I didn't do all the tombs & mostly stuck to the main story, took me 16-17 hrs. Like others have mentioned,    Visually Stunning!

    The first two games had a better balance imo. I was put off by some of the other reviews tbh, BUT SoTR is worth checking out, especially if you can get it on sale.    … Expand

    Great story and visuals - my first Tomb Raider game in probably about 15 years, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Takes a while to complete if you are looking at doing side stories!

    The only cons are: gets a little repetitive, going around collecting resources - you will probably spend half your gameplay time doing just that. Sometimes the characters' lip movements are out of synch.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider, I played the game as a good action adventure with a lot of interesting details of the mystery that is revealed.. In my opinion, it is a very interesting game, I would definitely recommend it, with all the praise from me, and I have to say for the graphics that is at a fairly good level

I finished my playthrough in around 16 hours (I did a few side quests and completed 3 optional tombs). I think however a game is more than the sum of its parts. Shadow of the Tomb Raider has a great combat system, interesting crafting mechanisms, good platforming overall and challenging puzzles. The problem here is that you won't have so much opportunities to test your different weapons or special techniques as the combat is not as frequent as the previous entries. I felt that the game was designed for those who like to do new game plus or multiple playthroughs (there are some metroidvania elements).

    Most of the time, a developed skill tree system and crafing system are more relevant in an open world game IMO. It can be good also in a linear or semi-openworld game but we need enough opportunities to test the gear, unlocked skills and abilities.

    For the story, I thought that was pretty average.

    I still recommend this game, especially for those who played the other tomb raiders. I think the normal difficulty and hard difficulty are well balanced (I switched between those two difficulties in my playthrough). It's really nice also that you can even more customize the difficulty by selecting specific difficulties for exploration, puzzles and combat.

    A quick last note....We feel a lot of inspiration from Uncharted franchise in this one (more cinematic cutscenes and similar vibes in specific parts of the story)    … Expand

Even scenes that most players only glimpse for a few seconds have so much loving detail. Millions of people love your games like I do- do not listen to the haters.… Expand

    After completing Shadow of the Tomb Raider back when it originally launched in 2018, I felt that it wasn't quite as good as it's 2 predecessors; 2013's Tomb Raider, and 2015's Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Which both I thought were among each respectives generations best games. After replaying it recently, it has shifted my perspective quite a bit. The graphics still hold up very well on a PS4 in 2022, even better on a PS4 Pro. But on a PS5, it looks great! The soundtrack is excellent, sound effects are very good, as well as the voice acting. And the set pieces are absolutely stunning!

    The game play and puzzles are a complete blast. There were some cool mechanics that I wish would have been expanded upon (mud and leaf walls for camo), but they were still fun additions.

    To close, and to avoid spoilers, the story is quite interesting., and it was a solid "closure" for Camilla's Survivor Lara Croft. By far the best in my opinion.    … Expand

Und wie auch Uncharted 4, dem immerwährenden Konkurrenten, spielt sich auch Shadow of the Tomb Raider als eine gelungene Evolution des Franchises, das die bekannten Mechaniken nicht revolutioniert, sie aber gezielt verbessert und expandiert und uns somit die spielerisch bisher vielleicht beste Tomb Raider Erfahrung dieser Konsolengeneration präsentiert.

    So fokussiert sich Eidos Montreal, die für den dritten Teil der Reihe die Federführung von Crystal Dynamics übernommen haben, noch stärker auf die klassischen Tomb Raider Tugenden. Feindkontakt und Balleraction treten zugunsten der hervorragend gestalteten Tombs und des Erkundens der großen Areale noch stärker in den Hintergrund. Nur noch gelegentlich bekommen wir es mit den bekannten Trinity Schergen zu tun, die wir, dank der verbesserten Schleichmechanik, größtenteils aber auch lautlos ausschalten können. Shadow of the Tomb Raider spricht also vor allem unseren Forschergeist und unsere Rätselfreude an, weniger den Action Fan. Aber das ist auch gut so, da Tomb Raider sich so nochmals stärker auch als eigenständige Marke profilieren kann.

    Auch Charakterzeichnung und Dialoge wurden im Vergleich zu den Vorgängern deutlich verbessert. Insbesondere die Interaktion zwischen Lara und Jonah gibt den Charakteren mehr Leben und reichert das Gameplay so auch mit stärker cineastischen Elementen an. Weniger überzeugt jedoch die Hintergrundgeschichte um den Trinity Orden und Bösewicht Dominguez, die wieder einmal sehr konstruiert und unmotiviert wirkt. Hier kann es ein Tomb Raider weiterhin nicht ansatzweise mit der spannenden Erzählung eines Uncharted 4 aufnehmen.

    Doch sei es drum: Wer das Gameplay der Vorgänger mochte, wird auch an Shadow of the Tomb Raider seine Freude haben. Sicherlich auch, da die visuelle Umsetzung des Dschungels von Peru atemberaubend atmosphärisch geworden ist und uns die vielen kleine Nebenbeschäftigungen und zusätzlichen Tombs locker 30 Spielstunden hervorragend unterhalten können.    … Expand

    L'aventure est épique et scénarisée de fort belle manière le fantasque et le surnaturelle ne prenant place que très tard dans l'aventure.
    Placé au milieu de la culture d'Amérique du sud on découvre une jungle dense, luxuriante, aux effets sonores saisissants et aux dangers multiples. La direction artistique autour des environnements et des temples est vraiment un superbe travail, on s'y croirait presque. L'histoire est à mon sens plutôt bien écrite on prend le temps de s'attacher aux différents protagonistes. Fort heureusement, le jeu ne tombe pas dans la facilité et s'abroge d'une vision maniquéiste trop poussée, il apporte certaines nuances et nous amène vers une perspective assez originale bien que maladroite.

    Le design de l'héroïne est très qualitatif et même si les différentes tenues, soient rendant hommage aux jeux précédents, soient versés dans l'exagération la plus totale, sont d'un goût parfois très discutable cependant certaines s'intègrent parfaitement dans l'univers. On regrettera cependant un artisanat trop basique à mon goût qui consiste à littéralement passer son temps à ouvrir des caisses en bois perdues au milieu de la jungle, niveau cohérence on a vu mieux... D'autant qu'à l'instar de son prédécesseur creuser le sol n'apporte que des composants n'ayant aucune cohérence, les pièces anciennes de Rise of étaient déjà largement un choix plus malin.

    Au rang des défauts on notera un aliasing parfois très envahissant gâchant parfois l'expériences lors de scènes cinématiques ou une végétation qui par moment va devenir floue pour on ne sait qu'elle raison en fonction du point de vue. La répétitivité des tombeaux et la nature parfois fantasque des cascades de Lara nous sortent parfois du jeu.

    Un autre élément à mon sens complètement raté, se concentre sur les phases "d'escape", ces phases où l'héroïne doit échapper à un danger la poursuivant. Elles manquent clairement de dynamisme et on se retrouve parfois avec une Lara faisant son footing pendant que tout s'effondre, cela manque d'enjeux et d'adrénaline pour des phases censés nous oppresser par leur caractère dangereux.

    Les combats sont très ennuyeux et génériques. C'est du TPS pan pan boum classique, principe de couverture et dégâts localisés parfois aux fraises. L'infiltration, bien qu'ayant des techniques très ingénieuses (notamment avec la boue), s'encombre d'une IA idiote faisant systématiquement des rondes et ne se mettant en alerte que lorsqu'elle vous voit. Les morts par dizaines de leurs camarades ne les inquiètent pas, aucune adaptation, ils se contentent de vous foncer dessus quand vous êtes détecté et il est très difficile de "reset" l'alerte. Idem avec les phases sous-marines où vous pouvez littéralement abuser de l'IA et tuer tout le monde sans prendre une seule balle et sans que personne ne vous voit jamais.

    Mais à côté de ça le jeu est une réussite, hormis les quêtes secondaires qui sont d'un ennui mortel, et le chara-design des PNJ qui se ressemblent tous, le jeu a une réelle saveur. L'exploration est superbement orchestrée et ponctuée par des **** évènements donnant plus de saveur (je ne préfère pas en parler pour ne pas spoiler). Les sons d'ambiances et surtout de l'eau sont à couper le souffle, les musiques bien qu'oubliables s'intègrent plutôt bien, mais malheureusement aucune d'elle n'est vraiment marquante.

    J'ai passé un très bon moment sur ce Tomb Raider, et je suis un peu déçu de voir que beaucoup prennent pour référence le premier opus dont certains oublie qu'il était dirigiste, mal équilibré et avec des énigmes très moyennent. Après 16 heures de jeu, je l'ai bouclé en mode "état sauvage" et mes seules morts concernaient les tombeaux optionnels dont la difficulté de certains vous fera vous arracher les cheveux. Imparfait, maladroit par moment, manquant un peu de cohérence, j'ai malgré tout adoré faire ce voyage en compagnie de Lara Croft et pour honnête je ne dirais pas non à un 4ème opus.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ich bin ein riesiger Tomb Raider Fan, ich besitze jedes Spiel, weshalb es nicht verwunderlich ist, das ich dieses Spiel 2018 vorbestellt hatte und das hat sich wirklich gelohnt. Ich mag die Reboot Serie von Tomb Raider wirklich gerne und dieser Teil ist der beste der neuen Reihe, die Story ist vielleicht etwas weit hergeholt und an manchen Stellen etwas stumpf, aber trotzdem extrem cineastisch und spannend inszeniert, zur Story werde ich wie gewohnt nichts sagen, aber es sei so viel gesagt, es geht um die Rettung der Erde.
    Die Grafik des Spiels ist extrem gut, die Charaktere sind wie gewohnt sehr gut geschrieben und auch das Gunpolay konnten die Entwickler bei Crystal Dynamics verbessern, dieses hatte mir in den Vorgängern Tomb Raider (2013) und Rise Of The Tomb Raider nicht gefallen.
    Wer die beiden Vorgänger kennt, weiß wie action geladen die Reboot Reihe ist und auch das kommt in diesem Spiel nicht zu kurz. Ich Haber aber auch Eoin Problem mit dem Spiel, ein Problem das vielleicht sogar seine größte Stärke es, ich weiß verwirrend, aber lasst es mich mal erklären bis zur Mitte des Spiels war die Story zwar wie gewohnt gut inszeniert, aber um ehrlich zu sein eher blass geblieben, bis es aber wie bei der typischen Heldenreise zum Tiefpunkt für Lara kommt. Ihr wollt euch eigentlich in eine gegnerische Basis schleichen werdet dabei aber entdeckt und fallt unter schwerem Gegnerbeschuss ins Wasser. Lara treibt auf den Grund des Sees zu, sie sieht verloren aus, doch plötzlich reist sie ihre Augen auf, unter epischen Bassklängen steigt sie aus dem Wasser aus, umringt von Flammen und massakriert, die Gegner die vor dem See auf sie warten, ab diesem Moment dreht sich die Grundstimmung des Spiels komplett und die Gejagte wird zur Jägerin, ab da an macht das Spiel unfassbar viel Spaß und zählt deswegen zu einem der besten Tomb Raider Erlebnisse seit langem.

    Este juego te mete de lleno en la exploración, con mapas más abiertos a sus 2 anteriores, bajaron la acción e incluyeron más aventura, para mi excelente, para otros no lo será, SotTR es continuista, tiene muchas mecánicas de los anteriores, obviamente con mejoras, se agrega además nuevas mecánicas a Lara.

    La parte de exploración y aventura en mapas más abiertos lo hace, quizas, aburrido para algunos, la toma de materiales para mejorar, no solo armas, ahora también atuendos también lo puede hacer aburrido, para mi fue un encanto, el explorar, agarrar materiales y mejorar elementos, mejorar a Lara, sencillamente lo disfruten. Los Puzzles es para mi lo mejor del juego, más puzzles que los anteriores y por eso digo que vuelve un poco a lo que es Tomb Raider en sus inicios, pero solo un poco.

    La acción aunque es poca, tiene sus momentos épicos con una Lara bastante más oscura, más brutal. El sigilo, su gran fuerte, con mejoras muy buenas como embarrarse de barro para ocultarse entre arbustos o ramas en la pared.

    Se podría decir que SotTR es más de lo mismo a sus predecesores, pero mejora los aspectos, repito, exploración y aventura. Gráficamente, obviamente mejora bastante, en PS4 tiene algunos problemas en performance, la sincronizCion labial deja que desear, en las cinemáticas luce bien, durante el gameplay no tanto. En conclusión, es un juego redondo, disfrutable, buena banda sonora, buenos personajes, perfecto para los completistas ya que hay mucha pero mucha exploración y un montón de coleccionables.

    The weakest part of the new trilogy but still a good game. Visual part of the game is awesome. But I don't like jungles setting and Maya/Inca stuff. Also the story is not that good as previous parts. But in any case still worth to play to know the final of the trilogy.

    It’s a very fun game. The story wasn’t particularly compelling for me, but the open-world gameplay and environmental puzzles were a lot of fun. The crafting system was engaging—albeit limited—and the combat was consistently entertaining. While I ultimately preferred Tomb Raider (2013) and Rise of the Tomb Raider, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a worthy addition to the modern franchise.

    Shadow of the Tomb raider is a classical action adventure game with top quality Hollywood style plot. The game plays well and the progression is well-balanced mix of shooting or stealth sections, puzzles and platforming, talking with NPC's and quick time event style running action sequences. Most of these are well implented, and allow different play styles with good difficulty level. TheShadow of the Tomb raider is a classical action adventure game with top quality Hollywood style plot.

The most annoying I find are the quick-time eventish running scene where you are basically always running from something and have to react to falling things and stuff, they aren't real QTEs so there's no button prompts but you still have to memorise what do on each step and it's usually not obvious at all so it just becomes annoying. The camera is sometimes quite bad and especially swimming is torture. Other than that there is no big problems in the game. The music is top notch and the voice acting is passable. I kind of like using native languages for npc's but calling it immersive is quite absurd, that's not quite how it works in real world.… Expand

I really like how you can set the difficulty settings for each of the ways you like to be challenged. You can decide separately how difficult you want the puzzles, exploration, and combat to be. I only knocked it down a point for the ridiculous story. I know that the premise of the series is rather unbelievable, but the plot doesn't really resolve satisfyingly.

    -I really, really, really enjoyed the puzzles
    -Runs amazingly well on the PS5

Aesthetically, it is by far the most impressive Tomb Raider game and gives Uncharted 4 a run for its money (at least graphically). I even prefer it over Rise of the Tomb Raider because I felt the snowy environments in that one made for a visually repetitive experience. The gameplay here is also far more dynamic than its ever been; A much deeper emphasis on stealth, and the combat environments allow for more aerial traversal that wasn't as prevalent in previous entries. I also thought the parkour segments were very impressive, giving you a plethora of new tools that make exploration feel brand new again. It makes the climbing segments in Jedi Fallen Order feel like an absolute joke in comparison. There's weight to every impact. Even though it's generally pretty easy, I always feel like I'm scurrying by a thin thread. Swinging off ropes is so exhilirating like a rollercoaster ride. It's as enjoyably cinematic as you'd want.

    Story-wise, I found the game to be a little more by-the-numbers, but there were definitely some series highlights with Lara's childhood flashback sequence and a nice emphasis on her friendship with Jonah. I can't even remember the villain's name or what he really wanted, and he overall doesn't have a strong presence throughout the story, but I can at least say that exploring tombs and uncovering the big mystery was more than enough to stay interested in Lara's plight. She just seems so desperate and you can't help but route for her as she throws her life on the line. It's also refreshing for the genre that instead of raiding tombs for treasure, Lara is trying to prevent bad people from raiding them.

    I think one of the bigger falters was unfortunately Shadow's newest integration: There's plenty of side missions and a hub-world to explore but I never cared to do any of it. The biggest problem with them is not only their fetch-quest nature, but their automated cutscenes. My biggest pull for the Tomb Raider reboots have always been their top-notch motion capture performances and the work Camila Luddington puts into her role. All of that is still present in the main story. But that caliber of storytelling sadly gets lost in the procedural cutscenes, and it doesn't help that the stories within them are not all that interesting. I think it works in games like Fallout and Skyrim that are built around a sandbox world, but in a linear game like Tomb Raider, it just grinds the momentum to a halt. Thankfully they're largely skippable, but it unfortunately makes the game feel on the shorter side by choosing to ignore them.

    Ultimately, I'd rather have a 10-12 hour game full of highlights and fun moments than a 19 hour game that feels stretched out. I'd probably say Shadow is my 2nd favorite of the reboot trilogy. It has the best gameplay and graphics by far, so I definitely see it having a higher replayability than the others. But I still think the first reboot game has a far more memorable and compelling story. And all the gameplay mechanics that are expanded and refined in Shadow, wouldn't exist without that game. Shadow still makes for a worthwhile entry, but I would be sad if this is really the closer for the franchise. It makes for a good closer in a Skyfall kind of way, but definitely leaves me craving more. I don't know if I'm ready to say goodbye to this version of Lara.    … Expand

There's no difference in combat difficulty between Hard and Deadly Obsession, the only difference being no save points (you die you have to redo the whole level again), so I can't find much point in the harder difficulty. It was beyond frustrating because I only died once in the entire game due to the difficulty of the combat. The other times I died were due to camera angle malfunctions and glitches in the platforming meaning I had redo 30-40 minutes of gameplay again that I solved first run with combat simply because I missed a jump by the smallest of margins. This really detracted from the game for me. The story and general gameplay was good but found the difficulty and difficulty to get the trophy pointless. No dying doesn't make a game more challenging. The combat health and puzzles are what do. Put that aside though, and it wa still a great game.… Expand

ReusingThe third and—allegedly—final installment in the "origins reboot trilogy", Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an adventure/action videogame with light role-playing and Metroidvania elements that doesn't seek to revolutionize either the franchise or the genre. In fact, it sticks to the formula and concepts of the first two entries too close, only adding a few quality-of-life improvements. Reusing what has worked in the past can be both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, returning fans of the series can expect to experience all the things that made them fall in love with the two previous titles of the origins reboot trilogy: hunting wild animals, crafting materials and improving gear using resources collected, solving puzzles, doing optional tombs and side quests, and founding different types of collectibles, it is all there. Conversely, providing gameplay otherwise identical to that of Rise of the Tomb Raider leads to seriously questioning if the franchise has once more stalled and if it's time for it to take another break. Perhaps. In any case, the gaming experience is solid for the most part (minor imprecisions in the platforming and with how the camera controls) and, at the end of the day, quite satisfying.

    Beyond the cliched argument that sets the game in motion, Shadow of the Tomb Raider tries to conclude Lara Croft's origins storyline on a personal level. It is a precautionary tale about human nature and how far a person will go to accomplish its goals, whether valid or not. As a result of this more insightful approach to the game's narrative, the action had to be kept in check for two purposes: one, to give the characters more time to reflect on the world and their actions, and two, to grow tension and make these moments more impactful. Does it pay off? Aside from one masterfully crafted sequence/scene mid into the game, not in the epic way the developers wished for. It doesn't help the fact that, despite Camilla Luddington's utterly brilliant performance, the Lara Croft character falls somewhat flat because of the underwhelming cast of individuals (except her friend, Jonah Meave) she's paired with: supporting roles are passable at best while the antagonist feels like a greatly missed opportunity. The narrative works ok but it isn't something outstanding in the end.

    Finally, if there is anything in Shadow of the Tomb Raider that deserves absolute praise are its visuals and art direction. True, character models don't achieve photorealistic status—in fact, they are a bit off—but the landscapes, the tombs, and the in-game relics are astonishingly beautiful, with the latter paying so much attention to details that could easily pass as exact replicas of the real thing. It goes to show the developers put their heart into studying and researching materials and lore to finally achieving such an outstanding result. Simply gorgeous.

    CONCLUSION
    Shadow of the Tomb Raider may not be the epic conclusion everyone was hoping for but it is a very good game in an otherwise fantastic trilogy. Yes, it doesn't do more than necessary, it misses some narrative opportunities, and it prioritizes functionality above else. However, the game still works and is quite an enjoyable ride despite the shortcomings. And, honestly, that's all that matters in the end.    … Expand

    Un très bon jeu pour conclure la trilogie amorcée en 2013.
    Lara retrouve ses premières amours avec l'exploration et les tombeaux.

    Es muy buen juego creo que no es para todos ya que tiene poco gameplays digamos de acción tiene más de aventura y descubrir puzzcle ni me gustó cosas como que los personajes de misiones secundarios casos todos tienen la misma vos o que cuando hablan no muestran sus emociones si ríen o es tan enojados pero es muy buen juego le doy un 9

    Most underated game I played. Graphics looks 2018, mechanics too, Lara has nice character, story is good and this is the best TR I played. The best money spent in my life.

    First as comparison, I gave 10/10 to tomb raider 9 (2013), 4/10 to rise of tomb raider because of the numerous bugs.
    The graphics of this game is still at the top level. The story is overall good. But, the game design and the battles are too similar to the previous 2 games.

    Me gusto muchisimo este juego , era hora de tener un juego de aventura que no sean tiroteos constantes. Una buena cantidad de puzles los cuales considero que si bien no eran cosa de otro mundo estaban muy entretenidos y muchos te hacian pensar.
    Me encantaron los entornos sudamericanos asi como tambien las diversas tumbas .

    The treasure hunter games aren't my favourites but this is one of the best game of that genre. I only played Rise of the Tomb Raider and this one because the old kind of TR games were not my type at all, so i can say this is my favourite of the franchise. I really like the variety of the stealth kills and methods, the combat also multifarious, all the environments are truly immersive,The treasure hunter games aren't my favourites but this is one of the best game of that genre.

    This time around i had a way better experience than in ROTTR. Side missions were interesting and cool to complete. That's why i managed to get 25+ hours of gameplay instead of average 12 hours. The gameplay and especially gunplay is improved a lot. I had a lot of fun in gunfights. The story is well written in my opinion and progresses good.

A lot of amazing set pieces there and there is also a great thing. There were even some emotional parts in this game. (example: Lara's POV on her Dad's death). After this experience i'm gonna buy the 2013 game and see how is it. Both ROTTR and SOTTR are a truly great experience. When i'll be replaying Rise of The Tomb Raider i'm gonna play through it in the way i played Shadow.… Expand

    Shallow story aside, Shadow of the Tomb Raider has the best tomb exploration in the series, and that’s what it’s all about.

    Still 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]

    Shadow 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.
