Shadow of the Tomb Raider

I was excited to play Shaddow of the Tomb Raider because the last two games were amazing. The game got off to a decent start, but once Lara gets to the village the story drags and becomes ridiculous ( even for a Tomb Raider game). The gameplay was basically the same as the previous two games, but didn't feel quite as polished. This game also has more free roaming with side missions, which works for a lot of games but not this one. Overall it's an okay game, it just doesn't measure up to the previous two.

I love how committed these Tomb Raider games are to being what they are, and how they don't shy away from going in a less grounded path.

8/10.

The last game of the second reboot trilogy. Eidos Montreal took over the development after the excellent 7 Tomb Raider games by Crystal Dynamics. The Shadow of the Tomb Raider focuses much more on the character of Lara as the last game of this reboot trilogy after 2 great games and it does a great job.

The game focuses on massive tombs with different creative puzzles, but still retains the trademark action/stealth/puzzler game-play of the first 2 games.

With even greater graphics, more developed mechanics, tons of exploring and discovering opportunities and with a very well-written scenario Shadow of the Tomb Raider, definitely is one of the best in the series. There is not much to say other than the game successfully managed to combine the Tomb Raider formula and modern technology.

This was an amazing game which lives up to its hype with great action,graphics,plot and more and this is caked with over the top enjoyable beautiful puzzles and story. I loved it so much that's all I got to say

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Shadow of the Tomb Raider" (2018) is probably one of the most if not the most underrated games of 2018. I loved the first two games highly, and i was looking forward for this 3rd and as creators said - the last in this trilogy. Now after it came out and most of the reviews said that it was the weakest in the series and many players complained about repetitiveness, bringing nothing new to the table and bla bla bla i was a bit worried. Now after completing this game at 100% and at the moment completed all new DLC i can safely say - this is probably the best Tomb Raider game ever made.

I have no clue what most of the players and critics alike were complaining about. This game is fantastic from the get go till the closing title sequence. Its bigger the both previous games. It has very cool new mechanics in combat, it has more tombs - basically this game has improved on almost every aspect from previous (and those were already great!). it has Lara in the most dark and gritty story yet and even her interactions with Johnna which i found a bit boring in previous games were much more fleshed out in "Shadow".

Overall, if you really liked previous two games and especially "Rise" - you will have a blast exploring this new breathtakingly beautiful open world. Its not the best game of 2018, but for me personally its very close up there with "God of War" and "Red Dead 2". I do hope Crystal Dynamics won't stop this franchise and give as something as great and exciting in near future. "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" is easily, an amazing game.
