    Best overall in the reboot trilogy. Side quests were so so but I really enjoyed all the tomb challenges and puzzles (if you are skipping them you are actually missing 50% of the game).

    É muito bom quando estamos explorando os mitos da região em que o game se localiza, mas as sequências nas vilas são tediosas e desnecessárias, além de quebrar o ritmo visceral do jogo.

    This game obsolute masterpiece. This game graphics are great the fighting is very funny and it's competitive to a bearable degree.

    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.

    Lara was so special until they reboot the whole story and everything they destroyed an iconic character by making a boring and cynical perspective of Lara but anyway the fist two games was actually fun to play though

    Director's vision ruined everything about this game. Why is Lara still not over the barrier of finally becoming the Tomb Raider when it's a third game?

    Discreto capitolo, a mio parere però il meno riuscito della nuova trilogia.
    Ad ogni modo godibile e da giocare per chiudere la trama avviate con i precedenti due capitoli.

    Very dissapointing game. Graphics are mediocre. Story is uninteresting and boring. Game feels like a chore. Cinematic trailer is very misleading and a cash grab. Boss fights are boring especially the jaguar and the ending boss fight. Would not recommend the game.

    A decent enough game with massive problems. Chief among which is the fact that it can be quite boring. The characters are not interesting. The story is needlessly convoluted whilst being an all-mighty slog to get through. The gunplay is dreadfully weightless. Shootout situations are not fun at all and on a moment to moment basis, there isn't much excitement here.

Shootout situations are not fun at all and on a moment to moment basis, there isn't much excitement here.

    But this game does have moments when it shines. Particularly when it gives you a big open area with enemies and allows you to get stealthy. It can make you feel like a predator hunting its prey and it can be so satisfying pulling off a good stealth section. But the issue is the fact that scenarios like that are few and far between. Most of them come in the final quarter or so of the story. Besides that, exploration is fun and the puzzles in the tombs are very interesting to navigate. There were also some smaller moments in the main story that i found quite charming.

    Generally, the game is just fine but i think i preferred Rise more.    … 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.

    And switch to lara the mercenary and start to kill Literally anyone you think your self oh maybe i ran doom by mistake And the story oh the beloved story It is full with mistakes lack of motivation and dialogue was just bad plus there’s no character development at all it like you want to feel bounding with the other characters but you can’t cuz there no character development like for the queen **** dies i dont feel anything cuz i dont know her i just met this chick and lara start crying about it and when the son know about mothers death no freaking Emotion like non and switch from the 9 year old kid to the 9 old king with like second an there meny freaking flew like that But at least when you have a **** story you must have really good gameplay but that when square anix Come along with Repetitive gamplay from 2 games before it Literally the same you will Repeat everything you did from the last two hours to the rest of the game you remember the bear from last game yeah let’s get creative and change it to a Jaguar But lets go the good side
    The graphics and the sound from the music and the sound design it was literally the best thing in the game overall it’s a **** repetitive game with a **** story with great graphics and sound but does not worth it you waste your money or your time    … Expand

    The difficulty of solving the puzzle is neither too difficult nor too easy.

    The game has amazing graphics, Lara is beautiful, but the series hasn't moved forward in the entire last trilogy.

    I felt that I was playing the same game, although beautiful, but towards the middle it got boring. There are practically no differences from the previous parts.

    This is weird. The first two entries were extremely good. Awesome pacing and story and the setup from the second game was really good. We were supposed to face the leader of the Trinity, which is a organization that seeks the entire world for mystic relics.

    2013 Tomb raider was the new breathe for series. Rise of The Tomb improved it to become better. And this messed up with both. There is no good gameplay,improvment,story as a fan of series i think u wont enjoy it much. Gameplay is copying last two game but worst. Not enjoyable. I am just playing it to say its done.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    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

    The gameplay is the same as in the other series, but there is one annoying detail: Lara Croft walks slowly when talking on the walkie-talkie or talking to someone, and this slows down the game.

    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.
