Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an interesting step forward for Lara, and the stealth combat works well, although it's under-used. Meanwhile, the idea of speaking to numerous non-playable characters and quest-givers creates a whole bunch of human-geography f...
Abstract: If you ignore the darkness the title alludes to, there are two significant silhouettes cast over Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The third game in the rebooted trilogy carries the responsibility of completing Lara Croft's transformation from university graduat...
There's a clear confidence here from Crystal Dynamics. If critics complained that the earlier games' violence didn't match their protagonist, the studio has now tacitly agreed, shifting the character itself to be more violent, responsible for more death...

Peru makes for a fantastic setting, Graphically stunning, Improved stealth options, Large hub areas to explore, Challenge tombs are still great
but they might still be a little bit too easy and short lived for some, Writing a bit on the cheesy side, Shooting is good, but not great, It's a greatest hits package rather than a brave new direction, Wonky narrative
The small portion of Shadow I played was noticeably linear, so I'm looking forward to seeing it open up in the full game. Everything moves at such a breakneck pace that you never feel like you're doing one thing for too long, which is why this series wor...
Lara Croft's final adventure in her revival trilogy is easily her weakest yet. Shadow of the Tomb Raider's story fails to critique the heroine in the many ways it attempts, while aging gameplay mechanics and troublesome new additions undercut deeply satis...
Amazing Vistas, Great Sound Design, Exceptional Graphics, Actual Exploring
Plot has holes, Can get cheesy
'Shadow of the Tomb Raider' is the perfect title for you if you love adventure titles. It may not be as refined as 'Uncharted', however, the game does have its own strengths. You can actually explore and find interesting artefacts instead of being confine...

With a story that manages to satisfactorily tread the line between high-concept fun and grounded character exploration, Shadow of the Tomb Raider meaningfully wraps up the journey Lara began in 2013 and convincingly leaves her in a place resembling where...

Shadow of the Tomb Raider is, without a doubt, a great game. There's no denying that it looks pretty, and if my experience is anything to go by, you can certainly play it before completing any of the previous entries. In fact, it may be the better thing t...

So, in case you haven't heard, there are claims that this game is basically an alternate version of the Uncharted franchise, I'm inclined to agree. With more RPG elements mixed in, there's a pretty heavy dependence on Naughty Dog's playbook when coming up...
