    Shadow of The Tomb Raider is a decent if not too notable farewell to the new Lara Croft trilogy. It's never bad per say but it also never really manages to hit any high points - it always just works.

It's never bad per say but it also never really manages to hit any high points - it always just works.

    From a gameplay perspective everything is sort of ok with space for improvement being present in just about every aspect. Climbing mechanics don't feel tight enough and sometimes you end up with awkward camera angles which force you to take a guess at where you should be going. Combat is fairly rare which is good because the mechanics don't exactly feel great, a bit too floaty on consoles. Graphically the game holds up well, but once again - never really impresses. I did have odd lip sync problems and some fps drops but nothing too jarring.
    The torture porn aspect of the game however is too much - it's funny when it happens to someone like Nathan Drake but when it's Lara you just feel bad - her character is written in a way that makes these situations feel like she is constantly being beaten down by everything around her.

    Storywise Shadow Of The Tomb Raider ends up being derivative and unmemorable. It never presents us with anything new or interesting. You just go through the motions of a cliche "stop the prophecy" storyline. You can tell what's going to happen every step of the way and the ending fails to serve up any real closure for this part of Laras life. The only reason to keep going is because the protagonist is fairly sympathetic and you want to go on with the journey for her sake.

    Not a bad game, but ultimately bland and forgettable.    … Expand

    Esta tercera entrega de la saga literalmente perjudica a la saga entera. Las mecánicas son prácticamente idénticas a las entregas anteriores, la historia pudiendo ser interesante esta mal contada y de una manera absurda. Como mínimo es entretenido mi nota un 6.

    First off this game, makes no advancements compared to the other games, other than what seems to be some better lighting. Only reason anyone could tolerate this game is too see how much it tanks your fps by enabling RTX.

    Gameplay: Absolutely boring, and makes you want to speed run the game for lack of anything interesting. Controls are the same as previous games which is Ok, But the game is riddled with minor bugs that break the experience on a constant basis. Same repetitive garbage over and over. This game feels like the doing stupid same trick of attaching your bow with a rope to something else to progress 70 percent of the time. 20 percent just going though these quick time motions to survive, which are so easy its a joke. and lastly 10 percent actual combat. You could probably beat the entire game in 20 hours with your eyes closed. They give you allot of upgrades for the fighting parts of the game, which is basically 1 hour of the entire game, and can easily be done with even the basic weapons.

    Story : I will go as far as to say i have played and beaten hundreds of games, and this game has the worst story i have ever seen. Constant blabbering about this fake god and moon goddess and other nonsense. In the most annoying bimbo voice imaginable. "Im a Reserchar" and "Yaaas". Manages to discriminate against actually beliefs, while touting tolerance and diverse cast and all the other typical SJW corporate non sense.
    Laura voice is has got to be the most annoying part of this game. if you can get though that, you may be able to complete this game without tearing your ears off. Also they manage to make Laura more and more unattractive every game for obvious reasons. They want to alienate fans for some SJW woke propaganda.

    Graphics: Nothing special aside from RTX, they took as long as possible, to make the characters as UGLY as possible while keeping basically all the assets the same. They put the model assets from previous games available to use. While still forcing you to use there new ones in certain missions. Lots of clipping unless you use the standard character model. No effort was made to make them blend a bit better in the game. Pure Hair is a joke, Hair FX was better in the first game at least the hair didn't bounce around like hairworks on steroids.

    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. Gran juego.    … 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. I have enjoyed all 3 of the newer Tomb Raider games, especially this one! I play it with headphones & it is easy to get immersed in the game between the killer graphics, great sound effects & fun gameplay!!! This is easily one of my favorite games ever!!!!! :)… Expand

    Excellent game, the graphics are incredible, the gameplay also very nice, Lara has a lot of new abilities for stealth kills, lots of weapon and upgrades, the campaign is very long like it´s predecessor if you want at least like 75% completion.

For the reboot games I played through the original Tomb Raider 2-3 times, Rise of the Tomb Raider twice, and this one I dont think I will ever come back to. I dont know what they were thinking. There were awesome moments in the game that took me back to the older tomb raider games, but those moments were few and far between. Long gone are the solitary days of the original Lara Croft exploring and tomb raiding all by herself. In this new installment there are so many other people and characters who rather than adding to it take away from the game. This game brought in elements of horror, and its very graphic. Much of the game felt like a horrific nightmare rather than the wonder of exploring and solving puzzles and finding artifacts. Its like they are trying to expose the player to more and more shocking and gruesome material with each tomb raider game. They must think, “Well we had the bodies hanging and wading through blood and bones in the first 2 games, lets have dismembered body parts laying all over and human sacrifice going on all around Lara to make the experience more shocking. And lets use all the blood from all the people getting slaughtered left and right for the puzzles. Cool!” And Lara doesnt seem to care one bit in some of the situations where people are being sacrificed. Lara lets out her anger and hatred, she shows a lot of emotion and becomes extremely violent herself, but she also loses some of her humanity. Lara is in a crisis during this game, doubting, being careless, trying to figure out who she is. My only hope really is that this game is setting us up for the Lara Croft we came to love (in a new series).. the sassy fun, sure of herself character where things weren’t so dark and gloomy. Honestly, This game is dark, overly violent and gloomy and to me for the most part was not fun at all. I just tried to finish to get it over with. Uncharted: The lost legacy feels more like Tomb Raider than this. The main character in the lost legacy feels more like Lara than the Lara Croft of Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I recommend playing that instead of this if you a a lover of the original Tomb Raider games.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, I’m an extremely huge fan of Tomb Raider, I do Lara Croft cosplay and I played every game more than one time, it’s my favourite serie of all time and I’m a fan since I’m 3. But this game really disappointed me, I loved Tomb Raider (2013), because it was a new kind of experience in the Tomb Raider serie, yeah tombs were laking but they were trying to shape Lara, to tell her what she went through to become that bad a** that we know. But I think that message got lost somewhere. Rise was good, but not amazing, I think the story was pretty weak and not memorable. For Shadow, nothing really work in my eyes. First the story is more bad than Rise’s story, second the glitches, third the character development is not there. Yes during the first half of the game they do kind of a good job to develop a bit Lara, but after it stopped. But the thing that made me the most mad is the fact that they used “the defining moment that she becomes the Tomb Raider” because I don’t know if it’s me, but I didn’t see the moment that she becomes the Tomb Raider. I was expecting Lara to become more strong emotionally, but she still cries and blame herself a lot:/, I was just expecting something more similar with the old Lara. Also I tried really hard to play the game more than twice but I couldn’t, I really get bored and it makes me sad because it’s Tomb Raider and it’s the first game in the serie that made me feel that way. I’m honestly scared with the future of the serie, let’s just hope that It’s good:(… Expand

    This game is pretty immense and arguably underrated, especially when viewed next to the most recent Tomb Raider games. The reason I can understand some of the mixed reception the game had on release is I have played the game to death and can recognise things that a certain player won't get along with in this. Let me explain.

    Classic Tomb Raider (1996) was mainly about three things:    This game is pretty immense and arguably underrated, especially when viewed next to the most recent Tomb Raider games. The reason I can understand some of the mixed reception the game had on release is I have played the game to death and can recognise things that a certain player won't get along with in this. Let me explain.

    Classic Tomb Raider (1996) was mainly about three things: the puzzles, the exploration and the suspense. The suspense part often came from the few encounters you'd actually get, alongside a sudden surge in music, which was otherwise pretty scarce. I see Shadow as returning more to these values, which is why I loved it so much, as these things were what made the original a classic. Recent entries I also enjoyed have arguably been widely successful because of the action and encounters. In this game the thing that will stand out most will be the Tombs themselves, and puzzles therein. There are encounters, however it doesn't feel like they are frequent. The game's definitely cinematic though, and you do indeed still get some of the rush from the recent games. For instance, there is one area that is flooded early on, and you're negotiating getting through it. Let's just say, it's literally a rush.

    So, assuming you enjoy the Tomb aspect of Tomb Raider, this entry has the most of them, and also the best of them in years. The puzzles when taken as a whole (including the excellent x7 DLC quest/ Tombs) are the most inventive, most taxing, and impressive looking, and if this is your bag, you will probably find this the best Tomb Raider in years. If not, you may actually hate this entry, because, without the aid of guides, this game taxes you... you have to pay attention, you have to listen and watch for the clues. This game could frustrate the hell out of you.

    The visuals are absolutely fantastic, arguably an improvement on the previous title. The texture detail, even on a base PS4 boggled my mind. This late 2018 game looks consistently good on practically all textures in the game in and out of cut scenes. Something I can not say for a more recent entry like say, Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

    This was a platinum trophy pursuit, and I really appreciated everything the game offered. I didn't even mind most of the side quest content because they often involved entering one of the many impressive looking crypts or tombs in the main game. Some side-quests however were very 'fetchy' or 'back and forthy', which is always a chore to have to do in *any* game of this nature.

    The negatives in the game for me I will say amount to the controls. At times the control response in platforming seemed inconsistent. That is to say, an action that worked in one area will not have the expected response in another area, or you may have to compensate without the game being explicit about letting on. It's difficult to explain in words, but suffice to say, as a consequence expect to die a lot during the platforming in this. For many this will be extremely irritating as it was even to me at times. This is only made worse in very hard mode (needed for Platinum trophy), as the checkpoint saves are far fewer / if any.

    The other area I wasn't that into was the story itself, however within it the acting, drama and voices hit the mark for me, as the visuals (textures and backgrounds) are all on point, even on 7 year old (time of writing) base PS4 hardware.

    I definitely recommend the game. I say it is underrated but recognise it won't be for everybody owing to the difficulty spike, some of the control during platforming, and its emphasis in often very taxing, very long but rewarding puzzles    … Expand

    The 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.

    the story is a mess. control is okay. most of the time you are just climbing and jumping around and doing fx#$ all. try uncharted 1, 2, 4 and the standalone dlc, they are much much better in story telling.

    The story was doing alright, until the end, the end feels rushed and poorly thought out. No interesting side characters.

    Raiding tombs still isn't really a major part of the game.
    Even on the hardest difficulty it was still to easy.
    Sometimes it seems like Lara just knows what she needs to, even if she shouldn't know it, and other times she seems to forget crutial information

    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.

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

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

    Gameplay? As much as you can expect from the previous 2 Tomb Raiders, the same great platforming, puzzle-solving and combat mechanics are brought in and fine tuned in this last installment. Platforming is still awesome due to the fact that they have indeed improved Lara's animations. She glides, swims, rappels with great ease and you feel great controlling her due to the fluid controls. Combat has been put to the backseat in this installment, and it's not a bad thing. The only issue I have is the stealth kills could be more violent and impactful. Tomb exploring has been put into more emphasis now. And you will be invested in alot of it due to its great design.

    Graphics? Great, very impressive. The environments have been vastly improved. Foliage,dirt,mud,surfaces and lighting has been improved. I played on very high graphical settings and its just a visual bliss. SOTTR world and its tombs is a great time to spend time in.

    Story? Mediocre to be honest. Crystal Dynamic opted for a "apocalypse is imminent and we must stop it" thrope and its not exactly the most compelling story arc to be invested in. I do enjoy the flashback segment and also more character development for Lara.

    Overall, Crystal Dynamics played it safe, and well. Not taking to much risks but also not exactly innovating. Its no Uncharted 4. But for a Tomb Raider game, its great and a blast to play. A solid 7.8!    … Expand

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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game had EVERYTHING to be awesome, but the lazy developers prevent the game from reaching that level.
    If we compare Shadow of the Tomb Raider with the first Tomb Raider trilogy (2013), we will see that the way Lara screams, the way she jumps and the way she walks are identical. Not to mention that her personality is very poorly crafted. In gameplay, she's a tough woman who uses a rifle, pistol, and coolly kills, but in dialogue and cutscenes, the way she talks and acts comes to seem like she's a fragile little woman. She looks like a simple university student who took a tourist trip in latin america. It's as if in gameplay she was one person and in dialogues and cutscenes she was another. I sincerely hope they work better on Lara Croft's nature and personality in upcoming Tomb Raider's projects.
    A really nasty thing about the franchise's games are the bosses. A man who wants to take over the world or misuse a powerful relic of the gods. The boring eternal sameness. But in Shadow of the Tomb Raider it went a long way. The boss became a demigod on earth and had to take 300 arrows to die. Then comes Lara Croft and uses the power of the gods too and... aff.

    Nunca había jugado a un tomb raider por que pensaba que eran juegos mas para público infantil o muy casual, me recomendaron este y la verdad me lo pasé super bien jugando-lo. Con ganas de jugar a los anteriores de la nueva trilogía.

    Wow, 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.

    Awesome game, I loved the story, but I really struggled with the map design, it looks confusing.
    2nd edit : after finishing the game I can say this game is truly amazing, the storyline is awesome, also the environment is such a huge world, You can tell how hard the devs worked to bring a beautiful ambiance.

    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

    Just 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

    There were elements to this game that I enjoyed but I'm never a fan of when developers combine story-driven games with an open world, Id rather just play one or the other.

All the crafting and pointless little side missions that take time away from progressing with the main story get on my nerves. I like how they're starting to bring Tomb Raider back to its origins by focusing more attention on puzzles and and exploration, but for me they're going about it in the wrong way.

    The mechanics were okay but could be quite glitchy at times, there's definitely room for improvement there; also, the feel on the stick when moving Lara around felt a bit too light, like I was moving around a helium balloon. The combat was so-so. The story was pretty bland, could have been a lot more gripping. The graphics were pretty good, but for 2018 even they felt lacking in certain areas (the character models for example). The main highlights for me were the puzzles and some very beautifully designed environments, could tell how much time and effort must have gone into them.

    Overall, I found Shadow of the Tomb Raider an average experience at best.    … Expand

    Just like the previous games (and, by extension, the Uncharted games), Shadow of the Tomb Raider has some great setpieces, nice visual, and some fun but shallow gameplay.

Unfortunately, these games have always had mediocre stories, and this one is no exception. Lara Croft is unbearably shallow. Somehow, the writers thought that making her get hurt a lot would add some depth to her character, which is honestly a stupid idea. And unlike Uncharted, you can't argue that the story being shallow is the point. The writers clearly tried here, and failed miserably. As she is now, Lara Croft is whiny, unsympathetic and overall just unlikable.

    If you've enjoyed the Uncharted games or the previous Tome Raider games, you'll probably like this one. If not, avoid it like the plague.    … Expand

    A monotonous stroll through the Peruvian jungle, with little action, clunky platforming, repetitive puzzles, a forgettable plot and an insufferable Lara that is just a shadow of her better times.

    This game takes 2 steps back from Rise in terms of combat and rhythm and it's miles away from the 2013 reboot in terms of Lara's charisma and appeal.
    Let's start with Lara, changing the face/body from Megan Farquhar to Camila Luddington was an atrocious mistake already made by Crystal Dynamics on Rise under the excuse of "allowing better motion capture" although we all know the reason behind it. Now it seems that was not enough and Eidos uglyfied her even more, messing with her body proportions and designing the most hideous clothing ever present on a video game, clothing that is mandatory during long sections of the game even if you have purchased DLC outfits! This results in a Lara with 0 charisma, super weird facial expressions, no agility or gymnastic skills, it feels like handling a space marine, and an utterly monotonous voice acting. On top of that they give her a dislikeable and selfish personality. The legendary iconic Lara is gone.

    Eidos also stripped most of the combat from the game mechanics, making 2/3 of the skill tree useless, but forgot to replace it with something else apart from collecting garbage to upgrade the weapons that you will rarely use. The writing is atrocious and the history has a lot of obvious plot holes. The enemy AI is also very poor, being most of the time just lemmings that can be taken care of one after another on a corner.

    On the positive side, I liked the dark tone of the game a lot, like Indy and temple of doom, some scenarios are gorgeous, especially a couple of tombs and the executions are brutal.. On PS5 there is a free upgrade to play it on 4K and it offers impressive moments, except the NPCS, they still look consistently terrible. Another nice feature is that if you have save data of the previous Cristal Dynamic tomb raider some outfits will be automatically unlocked, even the 2013 PS3 Lara skin.

    I recommend playing it on "one with the jungle" difficulty and doing all tombs and side quests, this makes combats more frequent and gives a reason to upgrade Lara's skill tree, also removes the white painting on the platform sections.

    In summary, if this would be a new franchise I think it would deserve around a 6-7 score but being a Tomb raider with circa 100M budget (the 3th part of a trilogy!) the result is really disappointing. As a fan that has purchased and completed every tomb raider since 2006, even the isometric ones, it leaves me really worried about Lara's future.    … Expand

    Story 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 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 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.
