"A greater focus on raiding tombs, and massively improved stealth combat, make this one of Lara Croft's best modern adventures."

DarkStation

100 / 100
"If Uncharted rose to fame with weapons it stole from washed-out Tomb Raider (before its reboot), Shadow of the Tomb Raider grabs them back, making it visually and gameplaywise...

GameStar

91 / 100
"The Tomb Raider trilogy presents itself in its best form for the final. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is an all-round great action-adventure game."

Tomb raider is a amazing game. Played it when it launched on Xbox One X in 2018. Wanted to play it again on PC. Loved every moment.

More of the same. If you played any of the Tomb Raider reboots then you played this. Same game as Rise of the Tomb Raider only a different story.

The gameplay is very solid and is a suitable end to the trilogy. The level design for the tombs are really great and makes you use your creativity.

The gameplay was really fun! (I loved using the Eagle's Talon on my enemies). Also, using vegetation and mud to hide was a step up from the last game. The only problem I have with SOTTR is that the plot was lacking. Lara was unlikable because of her actions.

Too easy, bugs, weak story, almost no combat - skip this one, buy the first two.

Having played and greatly enjoying the first two games, I really disliked this one and barely got through to the end. While the graphics are nice, that is pretty much the only thing this installment has going for it. The downsides include: - a mediocre at best story - very little combat compared to the previous ones - weapon upgrades are meaningless and unnecessary - as well as the skills upgrades - because most of the time you are exploring and solving relatively easy puzzles - the town/merchant system which falls flat because you don't need any upgrades, the game is easy as is - an unnecessary stealth system because you can just go guns blazing and avoid the trouble of trying to be sneaky - bugs (some puzzles are bugged which you will never find out about unless you use Google after spending hours on trying to solve them, some animations are bugged - e.g. talking to invisible characters whose lines you can't hear because they haven't rendered into the world etc.) - an abundance of resources which you don't need to pick up because you don't really need to upgrade anything Honestly, if I didn't use these games to brush up on my Italian & German (because they have full voiceovers and subtitles and a lot of dialogue), I would avoid this one altogether.
