Shadow of the Tomb Raider

This game is almost always on sale and is worth getting. I just don't like how the game takes away your weapons a lot. If anyone wants a copy I will gift it whenever it goes on sale.

Beautiful, But Not Better Than Rise!
It is a great looking game, but empty. The story kind of doesn't have a point, no memorable characters, boring quests, not to mention the gameplay which didn't changed in any way from the previous two, it kind of felt worse to shoot than Rise to be honest, a wasted potential. I really wished they kept the quality from Rise of Tomb Raider (the best in my opinion), that game was perfect, from the exciting plot, to the action and gameplay, everything.
Puzzles were actually better than the combat. Shadow had the best combat of the trilogy, but they took all the combat encounters out. Enemies never respawned, and there were no expeditions (again, one of the best parts of Rise).
Nonetheless, I enjoyed the game to some extent, and it had its moments, thought it had a lot of passion go into the development and the Lara character model is just gorgeous looking and sounding. They couldn't have designed Lara any better than this in my opinion and I really like how they take you into the psyche of her character with certain bits and Jonah challenging her.
Thought the bit where you get to play her as a child having an adventure through her estate was really cute and a nice touch too.
Overall, Shadow of the Tomb Raider isn’t a bad game. It just doesn’t live up to the high standard set by Rise of the Tomb Raider. It has its moments, but it feels like a missed opportunity to truly end the trilogy on a stronger note.

After going through this trilogy reboot in a week and beating all the main story content, I truly have to say that this series of the reboot tomb raider games have to truly be the best 3 games I have played back to back in a very long time, I wish I got to it alot sooner than waiting years to play them. All 3 of these games were not missing at all the story, combat everything about a game just gets better and better each game you play, they are all bangers and filled with amazing thriller moments.
This trilogy has a whole is really a 10/10 and worth every second of game time you put into it.

I already fell in love with Tomb Raider after the first two games, but Shadow takes it to another level. I saw people saying the story isn’t as good as the previous games, but I honestly don’t agree. For me, this was one of the strongest stories. It builds on Rise, shows more about her family, and just keeps you interested the whole time. The graphics are amazing, side missions are fun, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Same as the first two, 10/10, just love it.

I happened to be visiting Peru in real life as I was in the middle of playing this game, and I can tell you this - do not wear shorts in the jungle. All I gotta say about that!

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an exhilarating and unforgettable experience that captures the very essence of what the franchise has always promised - adventure, exploration, and awe-inspiring discovery.

From the moment you start, you’re thrown into a thrilling world of climbing, crawling, diving, shooting, stealthily sneaking around, zip-lining through canopies, and hunting in dense, atmospheric jungles.

The story is compelling and mature, with fantastic performances across the board. Visually, the game is breathtaking, intricate jungle environments teeming with life and secrets, beautifully lit tombs, and jaw-dropping set pieces that are a joy to explore.

What truly stands out is the game’s commitment to exploration. More so than its two predecessors, Shadow of the Tomb Raider embraces its roots, focusing heavily on platforming, puzzle-solving, and uncovering the ancient mysteries hidden in forgotten tombs. It feels like a love letter to long-time fans, truly living up to the "Tomb Raider" name.

The jungle setting is rich and immersive, but there’s a lingering hope this won’t be Lara’s last outing. A shift to a city-based environment, perhaps a gritty, atmospheric take set in London, could be a refreshing evolution, maybe even a modern reimagining of Angel of Darkness done right.

In short, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an exceptional game packed with memorable moments and heart-pounding adventure. It’s a fitting chapter in Lara’s journey and a must-play for any action-adventure fan.
