It was the most fun I've had in awhile with a video game. I was glad that the hardest difficulty helped obscure the game hints regarding exploration and puzzles. I wish more games did that. I enjoyed the game so much, I ended with a 95% completion with the overworld map. The production quality was top notch and the game was so intense and engaging. The gameplay and controls were pretty much perfect too and became second nature. There were a very small amount of really annoying parts but they were few and far between the overall game. I'd recommend this game for exploration and puzzle solving lovers. The combat was also very minimal and the stealth takedowns were very fun and satisfying. I think this may be the best tomb raider game I ever played.… Expand

    Wow what a journey! I just finished this on Oct 1 at 100% completion and 95% trophies earned, which took about 30-40 hours with slow-medium gameplay.

    As a massive fanboy of Tomb Raider since 1996, this game gets a 10/10 from me. The gamer in me will give it an 8.5/10. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLAYING THIS AT HIGH DIFFICULTY THE FIRST TIME, AND EXPLORE EXPLORE EXPLORE!! Pros: 1.    Wow what a journey!

    The gamer in me will give it an 8.5/10.

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLAYING THIS AT HIGH DIFFICULTY THE FIRST TIME, AND EXPLORE EXPLORE EXPLORE!!

    Pros:
    1. Stunning, beautiful graphics with excellent cutscenes.
    2. Fun puzzles to solve in Challenge Tombs.
    3. Immersive exploration, with open hubs instead of open world.
    4. Brilliant level designs. Tombs really feel oppressive and authentic.
    5. Shadow really captures the feel of Mayan/Incan/Aztec art and culture. I've always been enthralled by their history, with my favorite Mayan based movie being Apocalypto.
    6. This time round, the devs toned down on combat and focused more on exploration and puzzles instead which I really feel captured the essence of the original Tomb Raider in the 90s. Those games were hard!!
    7. Climbing and controlling Lara is intuitive. Feels natural and I actually enjoyed traversing/spelunking around the tombs. It doesn't feel as boring or mundane as the climbing in Uncharted for example. You'll really feel like an expert wall climber.
    8. I love the music used especially in the young Lara sequence and the credits.
    9. Story is engaging, especially if you collect all the lore items and read the notes in sequence.
    10. With the end of this trilogy, I cannot wait for the devs to bring Lara out of origins and into a full blown Tomb Raider dual pistol wielding mode. I hope they will hire talent to improve on writing, story flow and pacing to get to the levels of Uncharted/The Last of Us/Hellblade.

    Cons:
    1. They recommend turning on native language for immersion but I feel it's the opposite because Lara will be talking in English while NPCs will be talking in their native languages. I ended up turning it off so everyone's dialogue is in English accept for background conversations.
    2. They still haven't fixed examining objects for hidden clues. I need to turn on controller vibration each time because that's how the game allows you to detect the clues. Finding clues visually is an exercise in frustration.
    3. Background audio sometimes overlaps, cuts off or loops in the most immersion breaking manner.
    4. I cannot stand Jonah in this. STFU already with your, "Are you OK, Lara?". She's the friggin TOMB RAIDER. YES SHE'S OK JONAH. SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE SIGNED UP FOR. GET ON WITH THE PROGRAM. I feel that his character is redundant and useless. And how on earth is he always able to catch up to Lara?? He's no tomb raider obviously, yet somehow is able to find his way to Lara who had to go through climbing hell to get to places. Some writer out there must love his character so much to give him the spotligh in Rise, Shadow and even the comics. I would've preferred if they developed Sam Nishimura as a secondary character. That would've made more sense what with them being best friends in college and surviving a traumatic experience in Yamatai. I still don't know what happened between Lara and Sam. What a wasted narrative opportunity.
    5. Side missions MUST be improved the next time. It's very basic. To be fair, this is not a dedicated RPG like The Witcher/Skyrim/Fallout but if you're gonna include side quests, either go all in or remove them. Shallow fetch quests just spoil the whole experience. The gains in plot points did not justify the blandness of the side missions.
    6. Super long loading times, making fast travel a chore. I guess they'll patch this in the future. I hope.
    7. End of the world/save the world plot is getting stale. I really hope they improve their writing and narrative design for the next one.

    In conclusion, despite it's flaws, I absolutely enjoyed Shadow, and I really felt like a Tomb Raider.    … Expand

    This is the best Tomb Raider yet. I have no idea why critics are being so tough on it. I will say that some things could be better (animations, hand-to-hand combat, etc), but the good outweighs the bad by a large margin. Honestly, this game is a solid 9,0 I did put 10 to push the score up a bit. But don't worry, this game is spectacular.

    Playing in 60fps on ps4 pro was also extremely nice!

    I loved this game. Firstly, I thought that different developer means that the game will be different or even worse. But that is not the case! Eidos Montreal is an amazing team. They achieved excellent results. SotTR reminded me a lot of TR Anniversary as well as TR II and TR III. Beautiful locations, solid story, very interesting and atmospheric tombs.

Eidos Montreal is an amazing team. They achieved excellent results. SotTR reminded me a lot of TR Anniversary as well as TR II and TR III. Beautiful locations, solid story, very interesting and atmospheric tombs.
    They improved quite a few things in comparison with the previous game (RotTR). It concerns:
    1) quality of the foliage, which became a lot better;
    2) interaction with the foliage is more advanced too;
    3) Lara model and some other major models are a bit more enhanced;
    4) water quality is much better;
    5) tombs and crypts became more sophisticated;
    6) some in-game animations (like Lara's movements in certain positions) are better, more real;
    6) AA is higher quality.
    This game really knows a lot about shadows, as they are a big part of it. And the quality of shadows is great.
    Combat is as good as it was before, they didn't change it much, just reduced the quantity of action scenes in favour of exploration. There are many things to explore: outstanding locations, a lot of challenge tombs, more advanced crypts (than in RotTR), many side quests.
    I loved the soundtrack too. It presents great feeling of presence.
    The game has different pace, than the two previous TR games. There are a few action scenes, but it relies more on exploration thing. I am not sure that this pace is better, but I think the devs arranged it well. They've succeeded in making this game interesting and compelling.
    SotTR might not be the best action-adventure game of all times, but it definitely deserves praise, respect and admiration.

    I would like to add, that Square Enix, unlike some other publishers (Activision and Rockstar, for instance), do really care about the quality of their games. So the devs (EM) were able to eliminate all the major flaws of the game - big input lag and some other bugs. Blur intensity is fine. So the game plays perfect, as smooth as silk and does not distract player with any substantial issues.
    I also would like to thank developers for the top notch PS4 Pro optimization. They achieved 1872p and rock solid framerate (there are few dips only during some cut-scenes). Excellent job! If I had not known that this is multiplatfom game, I would be sure it is PS4 exclusive, as the optimization for Sony console is really smart.

    So taking into account all the factors, in my humble opinion, SotTR deserves 10 out of 10. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you, Eidos Montreal, for the opportunity to play this game. I really hope TR franchise will continue to evolve and please it's fans and admirers with new, more and more exquisite, thorough and refined games.    … Expand

But luckily I stuck with it through its slow start and was rewarded with far and away the best segment of the series. Full marks and kudos to the team behind this game!

    It's true that there is significantly less combat in this one and in the first two hours, what combat there is, felt clunky and unsatisfying. But stick with it - the game slowly becomes the most immersive, beautiful, interesting Tomb Raider yet. Stunning, vast worlds and intriguing exploration - and all skillfully executed.

    The tombs are plentiful and have a satisfying degree of difficulty that can be tailored to your taste by selecting the level of hints from none to maximum. There are additional skills and maneuvers that are really fun and the combat eventually becomes engaging and challenging.

    Yes this is an evolution not a revolution but the familiar feels great and the graphics are so much better than the first two, that the world completely sucks you in. I grew to prefer the balance in this one of more exploration and tombs than combat .

    If you're looking for a first person shooter - look elsewhere. If you're looking for one of the best immersive adventure games available on PS4 look no further. Do not miss this one if you are a Tomb Raider fan.    … Expand

    SOTR is a big step in the right direction.
    Big exploration and traversal; lots of challenging puzzles and tombs and amazing locations.
    What is best also is they have made combat very much less compared to the previous 2 games, because this is what TR has always been about. TR is not a shooter/ combat game; its main goal is to explore and solve puzzles. I do have some issues (mainly    SOTR is a big step in the right direction.

And I'm glad that they focused on Lara herself - something which CD promised with Rise found the place here and it's great addition to the Lara's character!

The design of the challenge tombs and crypts was simply gorgeous and each one was more difficult and detailed than the last constantly challenging you throughout the game if you choose to explore them, and since they reward the player with gear and skills that help Lara especially in harder difficulties I'd strongly recommend them, hell even if you don't care about the skills and gear the design of each makes it well worth the visit. This game added a new difficulty setting where you could customize how hard you wanted combat, exploration, and the puzzles to be, for example, if you wanted easy combat but difficult puzzles you can adjust accordingly which is an amazing feature for a variety of players. It also has an option to localize language so that everyone speaks in the language you do or they speak in their native tongues which helps make the experience that much more realistic. I personally loved that it wasn't as combat focused as the previous two entries in the reboot trilogy and focused more on the puzzles and exploration making it more like the PS1 originals. The story is not as good as Rise of the Tomb Raider's but it is still very interesting and will have you sticking around to the very end to see where Lara ends up and how it sets the character up to be the titular Tomb Raider from the originals. It is an amazing end to a great trilogy for one of gaming's greatest icons.… Expand

I do find it a little strange that Lara’s face is resistant to shadows, it kind of gives a cel-shaded kind of vibe, perhaps this was deliberate?? Some people complain about Lara’s disregard for the culture she is investigating, whatever, its a game & works fine in the story.

    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.
