   The new definitely addition of the game gives you 7 more challenge tombs with thier own stories, the fact that every new tomb is accompanied with a new story of sort is just brilliant and shows that the team is really dedicated on making this a great dlc, I before getting the update thought, "oh 7 new tombs thats great", I never thought that it would have a story attached to it, I was really thinking that they would put optional challenge tombs and scatter them all over the 3 massive hub areas and call it a day, but NO, you get a new story with it, and it makes it great. All in all a great game, and has a ton of replayability.… Expand

I foundThe presentation side of the game is absolutely incredible and both the visuals and sound design had no faults within them whatsoever. I found the story to be amazing and not once did my interest dwindle because it was compelling throughout my time with the game. There is more than enough content to keep you satisfied for quite a while and without a doubt you will find the game very difficult to put down. I loved tackling the challenge tombs because everything about them is intricate and unique and this of course made tackling them rewarding as well. Exploring in the game always felt rewarding because there is so much to collect and collecting all of the different items was always fun and exciting.
   There are different mechanics this time around and these different mechanics feel great and definitely add an extra dimension to the game. The gunplay could be a little better because it doesn’t always make an impact and it doesn’t always feel as responsive and fluid as it should. Rise of the Tomb Raider was my game of the year back in 2015 because everything about it was pretty much perfect and in my opinion it made Tomb Raider relevant and exciting again. As you can imagine then Shadow of the Tomb Raider was a game I was extremely looking forward to, and thankfully it didn’t disappoint. From the moment I started the game I fell in love with it because the game looks and sounds incredible and it immersed me right from the get go. This immersion didn’t dwindle either and that was thanks to the excellent story that accompanies the awesome visuals and sound design. You’ll also be pleased to know that the gameplay is also absolutely fantastic and the new mechanics that have been implemented make the game stand out even more. In terms of problems the game only has one in my opinion and that is the gunplay. This though is only a very small problem and everything else is basically perfect so I can’t recommend Shadow of the Tomb Raider enough. In fact it’s that good that this new Tomb Raider is once again going to be be my game of the year.… Expand

   Shadow of the Tomb Raider is already the third part of the reboot series. Previous games have been flawless. The Tomb Raider from 2013 wasShadow of the Tomb Raider is already the third part of the reboot series. Previous games have been flawless. The Tomb Raider from 2013 was good and the Rise of the Tomb Raider was great. But what will Tomb Raider from 2018 offer us? Honestly nothing much extra new. Where the previous episode excelled, Shadow of the Tomb Raider does nothing. It will neither please nor disappoint. It doesn't bring much new. I'd start with graphics that were ... different. I can't really say whether it's better or worse. We could see a clear shift in previous games, but this is not the case now, and I would rather lean towards the graphics of the previous game from 2015. But don't take me wrong. The game looks wonderful. The locations are great and again I can't help myself too much, whether better or worse. But this time I would rather lean towards this work. A beautiful jungle that seemed all the more vivid when a jaguar appeared in one scene. Speaking of those scenes, they were sometimes really luxurious and just underlined the quality story. The game is also helped by the fact that there is a childhood of Lary Croft, which helps to some backstory of the character, and overall in this work I have a greater relationship with the character than in previous games. The arsenal of weapons has not undergone much change. As cool as the last game. Side activities also peck. The end of the game is wonderful and overall the perfect end of the series for me, unless the developers give us another part. So if I omit the smaller hate from the beginning and I mean that the game does not bring much new or perhaps that the graphics came to me even slightly worse, then it is a great game and I personally dare to say about the best part of the series. This is purely my opinion and my preferences. You don't have to agree. Great game for me that I can recommend.… Expand

   The games is beautiful. When the gameplay flows alongside the visuals there are not many better experiences in gaming. Traversing the environments, exploring the fantastically designed tombs and crypts, stalking and possibly gunning your way through enemies. It can be just what i was hoping for. However, everything in between; the side quests, hunting, the bombardment of collectables, are less inspired.
   
   I realised about half through that i was getting caught up in activities that were ruining my experience of the game as a whole. All of which offered little benefit in progressing through the main campaign. The items and skills that i acquired were never necessary to proceed (very little use of the stealth and combat mechanics). It had ruined the pacing, or i had ruined the pacing. Either way my play through was damaged. This is without noting the bugs that often halted progress.
   
   I wanted to love this game, but I felt that there was so much tapped-on stuff for the sake of more stuff, i couldn't. Its still a good game though, with a mildly interesting narrative, the best puzzles in the series, and some really remarkable set-pieces. Always visually stunning. I just wish it flowed better.… Expand

   Average, more or less the same as previous tomb raider games nothing revolutionary. Would recommend waiting for a price drop before buying.

   Why Tomb Raider, at the origin had great success ?

   Crazy level design and HARD puzzles (find keys, mechanism, try to find a way by climbing, etc.), loneliness and immersion with great dark ambient music, precise gameplay (with a clear view where you can go or not), great OST, different kind of levels (for example, in TR2 you had China, Italy, a boat in the sea).
   
   What Is Shadow of the Tomb Raider ? A game that has nothing to do with Tomb Raider and its spirit, who died in the reboot in my opinion.
   
   So basically, it's a walking simulation, in a fake open world (you can't climb 80% of the stuff). 70% of the gameplay is hunting, picking stuffs (in nature or reading useless stuffs). Everything is scripted when you explore the tombs, you have no liberty at all and you have to take THE way the devs wanted you to take). YOU DON'T HAVE TO THINK, except for some littles puzzles in very few moments. The firts tomb raider were way HARDER and better in everything.
   
   Basically so : useless side quests, useless story, useless characters (yeah, the fat latino with you is useless, Lara needs to be alone and don't talk, the immersion in levels normally have to do the talk if you understand what I mean), broken stealth system, too many cutscenes and dialogues, you collect things that you will never use, the map system is horrible.
   
   The only thing positive is the aestheticism in the game, that's all.
   
   I finish the game in 20 hours in hard mode doing a big part part of the side quests (thing that would be unconceivable with the first tomb raider). 80% of my deaths were due to : stealth that doesn't work, broken gameplay when you climb etc). Basically it's a straight line, and if you try to think and try other possible ways, you will die...
   
   Tomb raider needs to stop trying to copy the other games and come back to what make the success : a very hard game with crazy level design, immersion (you have to feel trap where you are). No no no and no, tomb raider is NOT a RPG with quests with talks to useless characters. That's the fate of video games nowadays (unfortunately) : you wanna please for a large public to make money, with everything is scripted with no savor! TOMB RAIDER 1 is way better than this piece of s****, believe me !… Expand
